Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden has jokingly warned fans to brace themselves after sharing the first of what she promises will be an "annual onslaught" of bikini photos from her summer holiday. The 54-year-old radion host looked relaxed and happy as she posed aboard a boat in a red and white string bikini while soaking up the sunshine during a family getaway in Greece.

Sharing the snaps with her Instagram followers, Amanda wrote: "And so begins the annual onslaught of bikini shots, you have been warned!" She added: "Enjoying a little downtime with my family before the friends arrive and the partying begins."

Fans were quick to flood the comments with compliments, with one writing: "Amanda, you are magnificent." Another person added: "Beautiful," while a third user commented: "Looking amazing so beautiful." And someone else simply wrote: "Gorgeous woman."

The latest update comes after the presenter defended her eldest daughter, Lexi Hughes, against claims she is a "nepo baby" following her growing success in the modelling world.

Lexi, 19, signed with Storm Management in 2022 before making her London Fashion Week debut two years later, prompting some critics to suggest her famous parents had helped launch her career.

Speaking recently, Amanda rejected the suggestion, insisting: "Being someone's kid is not going to secure work, make a living for you and longevity in whatever career."

She added that having a famous parent may help "get a foot in the door", but said success ultimately depends on talent and hard work.

Amanda, who shares Lexi and 13-year-old daughter Hollie with husband Chris Hughes, also argued that connections exist in every profession and shouldn't be limited to discussions about the entertainment industry.

While Lexi has embraced the spotlight, Amanda has previously revealed that Hollie is far less keen on having a famous mum, joking that her youngest daughter often asks to be dropped off away from wherever they're going together.
