BGT judge Amanda Holden, 53, strips to a £120 bikini on five-star Maldives holiday as she prepares to return home

BRITAIN'S Got Talent judge Amanda Holden stripped to a £120 bright orange bikini as she wrapped her idyllic beach getaway.

The ITV favourite rounded off her Maldives holiday snaps with an Instagram reel, showing her stretched out on a hammock in the sea.

Amanda's zesty halterneck proved the perfect complement for her glowing tan.

She pulled her blonde hair back and wore a pair of sunglasses as she enjoyed some me-time in the waves.

The Heart FM host, 53, who confirmed she will return to work on Monday, arched her back as she propped herself on the netting and stared up at the sky.

The crown of her head and toes were dipped in the crystal-clear waters as she made the most of the idyllic scenery.

Another snap included in the reel saw Amanda emerging from the sea in the neon two-piece from swimwear designer Melissa Odabash.

Back at the hotel, the mum of two captured the modern holiday apartment before showcasing her walks on the beach.

Amanda also tucked up with a book as she got snug on a swinging chair.

She then added some family snaps with her look-a-like daughter captioned: "We had a lovely family holiday @luxsouthari staff just lovely and food was beyond…"

Earlier in the trip, she showed off her washboard abs in a red patterned bikini.

Amanda also gave Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson a run for her money in a striking bandeau swim top and matching bottoms.

In her caption, the Britain's Got Talent judge wrote: "Bapwatch. Happy Hotcross bun day."

Later on, she donned the garments as she headed off on a bike ride in the tropical island.

Picture mystery

Earlier in the trip, Amanda posted another sizzling swim snap - yet promptly deleted it.

Fans were left confused as to why her Easter images - which showed her holding an Aperol Spritz cocktail - were culled.

In her caption, Amanda had written: "An aperol spritz a day... Happy Easter!"

Golden Buzzer

We recently gave a sneak peek of Amanda in her BGT role after show bosses released an exciting new trailer for the series.

It saw a pair of BGT contestants enjoying a kiss before Amanda looked completely stunned as Simon Cowell leaned over her to press the buzzer.

The ITV reality show will return later this year, with each judge and presenters Ant and Dec having their own choice to send an act straight to the live semi final.

In the voiceover, the ITV hosts announced: "The golden buzzer ... there's no feeling like it."

Last month, we exclusively revealed a significant amount of the upcoming acts aren't actually from the UK.

We also were first to let slip how a whopping three Golden Buzzers were used on the first day of auditions at the London Palladium.
