Amanda Holden posted photos on Instagram showing her relaxing in a yellow-and-white striped bikini in a hot tub as she celebrated the end of summer and promoted a local hot tub supplier.
The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, shared the images on Monday evening, writing: "Squeezing out the last drops of sun today in our @hotspringworld state of the art hot tub!!! It's bloody gorg!! So lucky.. #boughtandpaidfor just bigging up a local business with excellent service." Her dog, Minnie, appears in one of the snaps as she posed in the Hot Spring World tub.
The post followed a weekend party at Holden's Surrey home in Cobham to mark the completion of a garden renovation. The Mexican-themed celebration featured live music, a mariachi band, a taco station, a churro stand and tequila piñatas, and Holden shared a video on Instagram that showed confetti and what appeared to be stickers bearing faces of her family scattered around the garden.
Holden, flanked by her husband, Chris Hughes, 51, and daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, wore a floral headdress and a mini dress for the event. She invited a range of friends and industry figures to the £7 million property, including Bruno Tonioli, Sam Faiers and her partner Paul Knightley, Lisa Faulkner, John Torode, Alan Carr, Angela Griffin and Tamzin Outhwaite.
Video and accounts from the party showed Alan Carr pushing Outhwaite into the pool. Presenter Ruth Langsford, another guest, later described suffering a hangover and posted images of hydration sachets she used the next morning. Holden said the gathering included members of the Heart radio production team.
John Torode's attendance comes after he was dismissed from MasterChef following an upheld allegation that he used an extremely offensive racial term. Holden did not comment publicly at the event on that situation.
The hot tub post also came shortly after a live radio exchange that left Holden blushing. Actor Hugh Bonneville, 61, appeared on Heart with Holden and co-host Jamie Theakston to promote the film Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. In a jocular moment on air, Bonneville said he was not used to hearing Holden tell him to "get close to the muff," to which Holden clarified she was referring to the microphone muff.
Holden's social media posts and the widely attended garden party underline her use of Instagram and public events to showcase personal milestones and collaborations with local businesses. The hot tub images and party footage were shared directly with her followers on the platform and have drawn attention across entertainment and lifestyle coverage.
