Amanda Holden swims in a ballgown in stunning new underwater shoot for PETA campaign
AMANDA Holden calls for a boycott on Seaworld and marine parks abroad as she poses underwater in a ballgown for a new PETA campaign.
The Britain's Got Talent judge, 47, looks stunning in a mermaid outfit as she declares: “All animals want to be free”.
In an accompanying video, the star says orcas swim monotonously around concrete tanks at places like SeaWorld.
She said: "These are animals with their own cultures and their own language.
"The more we understand about the extraordinary capabilities of these wonderful whales, the more we can realise just how disgusting their captivity and confinement is."
Amanda - who's gearing up for the BGT finals this weekend - points out that while no whales or dolphins have been held captive in the UK since the 1990s, marine parks continue to operate abroad.
Amanda isn't the only famous face to lend their voice to PETA.
Sharon Osbourne, Paul O'Grady and late Sir Roger Moore, and many others have teamed up with the organisation to speak out against marine-mammal captivity.
Meanwhile, Amanda has revealed she wants to "spin out" her judging role on Britain's Got Talent for as long as possible.
The judge once said she planned to quit the hit TV contest after a decade but is now in her 11th year on the show.
She said: "I thought 10 years sounded good but I'm over that now!
"I'm going to spin it out for as long as I can. I appreciate my job, I'm really grateful.
"It's a different feel to The X Factor; it's much more family based and warmer.
"I think the relationship between the judges works, too, and until that breaks there's no point in changing it."
Back in 2015, Amanda said she "would love to make it 10 [years at Britain's Got Talent] and call it a day."
Speaking at the BGT auditions, Amanda added: "Ten years is an amazing feat."
