AMANDA is hardly Holden back when it comes to her wardrobe – and has become
increasingly daring with her outfits in recent years.

The Britain’s Got Talent host, 43, braved the cold in a figure-hugging dress
after ditching her bra at the BGT auditions on Thursday.

It showed she has a couple of points to make about why stars should not mellow
as they get older.

While other celebs may be guilty of this, Amanda wasn’t – sparking a Twitter
backlash.

Bruxie999 wrote: “Amanda Holden…when you get to a certain age it just looks
desperate.”

While @HayleyJane7 suggested it was a publicity stunt, saying: “Yeh, I bet
that was an accident #s**g.”

And EileenMCumiskey cringed: “Amanda Holden never misses an opportunity to
make a right tit of herself.”

But as a TV star with a recent stint on ITV’s This Morning under her belt –
and having come through a high-profile split with ex-husband Les Dennis –
this sort of criticism will wash over her.

Not bad going for the meek student who first appeared on our screens as a
Blind Date contestant nearly 25 years ago.

Here, we look at how Amanda continues to confound expectations.

1991: Blind Date

Fresh-faced Amanda, seen in the middle, made her telly debut aged 20 on ITV’s
Saturday night hit Blind Date while still a drama student.

1993: Wat-er view

Two years on, and the future star still looks sweet – covering up poolside in
an all-in-one swimsuit.

1995: Wedding belle

Amanda’s wedding dress for her marriage to Les Dennis is formal and
traditional rather than Katie Price-esque.

But there’s still plenty of time for that.

1996: Getting leathered

This snap, believe it or not, was taken on the red carpet for a film premiere.

Multiple layers, no exposed flesh, matching leather jackets? This isn’t the
Amanda Holden we know.

1999: Sofa so goody two shoes

Even in her late-20s, Amanda remained conservative – this promo shoot could
barely show off less skin.

Just check out those leg-long boots. Here, and until this point, the actress’
style was reserved rather than raunchy.

2001: Trousering the attention

It looks like Amanda may have ditched her bra. But, while the glitzy belt is
doing its best to disguise them, she is still sporting a safe looking pair
of trousers on a red carpet. Probably for the final time.

2002: Changed beyond be-leaf

This advert campaign’s strapline may have referred to going vegetarian, but it
worked for Holden’s restyling, too.

2003: Sheer class

Holden made a show-stopping appearance in this dress, arriving so late to the
London Restaurant Awards that the award she was due to present had to be
rescheduled. She certainly capitalised on the attention with this
sheer-panelled dress.

2007: Happy straps

Returning from the birth of her first child didn’t slow down Holden’s rate of
flesh-flashing.

Her glitzy dress certainly embellished the attention.

2008: Dropping the leg bomb

By now, Amanda is taking her glammed-up outfits in her stride – with this leg
bombing effort coming fully four years before Angelina Jolie’s left peg
coined the term.

2008: What a cheek

That’s what you’d call an impressive tennis shot. Holden’s cheeky pose is more
than all-white.

2009: Breast to Hold-em

The star went State-side with her charms, striking this cheeky pose while
apeparing on CBS’ The Early Show.

2010: Twice as Price?

You could be forgiven for thinking that Holden is attending a Katie Price
perfume launch with this fluffy outfit.

But, actually, she’s at another star-studded film premiere – and Jordan,
clearly, took note.

2012: Pearly queen

Amanda returned to BGT after the birth of her second daughter in style, with
this eye-catching dress.

And she certainly hadn’t boobed with the outfit, reaffirming her role as a TV
pin-up.

2012: Flash dance

Holden shows off her ass-ets at the Britain’s Got Talent final, contested by
various dance troupes.

Thankfully for the singing entrants, only Amanda hit a bum note.

2013: Seeing double

Yesterday’s BGT launch wasn’t the first time Amanda had nipped out for
publicity.

Here, she promotes her autobiography in similar style.

2013: B&B

That’s backless and braless. This time on another BGT outing.

2014: Two for the boys

Here, Holden is posing outside the One For The Boys charity ball.

We demand a recount.

2014: Soap(star) on a grope

At the same event, Holden caught up with former Neighbours star Holly Valance.

And the Aussie can’t help but titter at Amanda’s naughty pose.

2014: Knicker blocker’s glory shot

This mis-hap was almost inevitable with that thigh-high split. The reality
show judge flashed her nude undies whil adjusting between snaps on the red
carpet. Oops.

2015: You put your right leg in…

The stylish judge legs it from The Lowry as she heads to the Manchester
audition of BGT.

Our only question is whether she’s wearing anything beneath that coat.
