Amanda Holden displayed her enthusiasm for the World Cup by wearing a retro England football shirt and navy shorts as she left her Heart radio show in London on Friday, July 3, 2026. The television personality, aged 55, was seen in the football attire ahead of England's World Cup match against Mexico.
Holden's shirt featured the number 18 on the back, which she later confirmed on Instagram was a vintage 1982 jersey famously worn by former England player Ray Wilkins. Wilkins, who earned 84 caps for England between 1976 and 1986, passed away in 2018 at the age of 61 following a fall and cardiac arrest.
For her outing, Holden opted for comfort, swapping her usual high heels for white trainers. She carried her belongings in a Dior handbag and styled her blonde hair in curls, accessorizing with sunglasses. 
Earlier in the week, Holden was also seen at Wimbledon, where she and her husband Chris Hughes shared a public display of affection. The couple, married for 18 years, attended matches and spent time in the VIP suite. Holden was seen meeting with friend Chris Appleton, also an ambassador for Revive Collagen. The event at Wimbledon followed Holden's enjoyment of the recent heatwave, during which she shared photos of herself in a red bikini.
