Amanda Holden looked incredible as she soaked-up the sun during a lavish boat trip in Barbados on Wednesday. 

The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 54, flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a skimpy blue patterned bikini.

Her blonde tresses were styled in loose waves underneath a straw hat, and she hid her eyes behind dark oversized sunglasses. 

Amanda posed up a storm on the boat with a cocktail in her hand, before getting some group snaps.

She captioned the sizzling Instagram post: ‘An amazing day on this beauty @seaducedbarbados THANKYOU to @barbadosvillaservices for sorting. Such a gorgeous boat’

It comes after Amanda showcased her incredible physique as she celebrated turning 54 with a sizzling sun-soaked photoshoot.

She looked stunning as she slipped into a stylish triangle bikini top, which she paired with matching skimpy bottoms.

Amanda made sure all eyes were on her during this steamy birthday shoot, as she showed off her gym-honed frame for the camera.

Amanda’s birthday coincided with the return of the brand-new series of Britain’s Got Talent, as the judges audition a new batch of hopefuls.

The Heart FM star has been part of the judging panel since the show began in 2007, and she shows no sign of slowing down.

Currently busier than ever, Amanda is balancing BGT with her daily Heart Breakfast show, along with her successful double act with Alan Carr .

Together, they’ve filmed three series of their Property Job show and co-hosted the Royal Variety Performance last year.

But, a recent change to the BGT format means Amanda’s schedule is even more packed.

The show will now run for an impressive four months, with new episodes airing weekly.

This shift has replaced the traditional semi-final format, and the judges now watch on Saturdays, much like Strictly Come Dancing, rather than consecutive nights.

As a result, Amanda and her fellow judges – Simon Cowell , Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli – have had to sacrifice their Saturday plans to fully commit to the show.

It comes after the star landed herself in hot water with BBC bosses for appearing in a video to promote her appearance on rival channel QVC, all while wearing the same ‘Handy Mandy’ outfit from her and Alan’s renovation series.

The presenter posted the 30-second clip on her Instagram page on February 3 saying she would be on the shopping channel later that day to plug new products from her interior design range, BundleBerry.

Armed with a toolbox and drill, she measures walls and hangs mirrors – mimicking the DIY jobs from the series – to the music from 80s show The A Team.

Her BBC co-star Alan, commented on the video: ‘I recognise that boilersuit.’

But Amanda was forced to remove the post on Friday by BBC bosses because it breaches the corporation’s commercial guidelines.

It is understood the presenter was ‘spoken to’ as a result of rules which forbid presenters from appearing in adverts linked to their TV roles.

The latest edition of the corporation’s rules state: ‘Actors and artists who perform in BBC output should not appear in promotional work, including advertisements, in a way which mimics or replicates their on-air roles for the BBC.’

Amanda – who launched her BundleBerry range in 2017 – labelled the post as an ‘ad’.

A BBC spokesman told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Amanda has removed her post and has been reminded of her responsibilities, as a BBC presenter, when using social media.’
