Amanda Holden, 52, leaves fans floored with red bikini display as she's told she 'looks uncomfortable' after addressing 'braless' comments

Amanda Holden has been flooded with flame emojis on social media as she posed up a storm on holiday. The TV and radio star said she is soaking up the last of the sun after jetting to Los Angeles for a family break where she has also been spending time with her showbiz pals.

Last week, Amanda caused a stir alongside Heart Breakfast co-star Ashley Roberts as the former Pussycat Doll accidentally flashed as they posed for the camera together during their trip to Hollywood. The pair were also seen dining out with Piers Morgan, Gary Lineker and James Arthur as they all jetted stateside.

But back to her latest post and 52-year-old Amanda left jaws on the floor as she writhed around for the camera beside an inviting pool. The Britain's Got Talent judge showed off her sensational figure as she sported a tiny red bikini which also drew eyes to her bronzed tan.

She styled her long blonde tresses in a chic slicked-back look as she shielded her eyes from the sun behind a pair of chunky sunglasses. The TV beauty could be seen stretched out on the ground while flashing her abs after appearing to have taken a dip in the pool due to the speck of water adorning her sun-kissed body.

"Soaking up the last rays of sunshine," Amanda typed alongside the post before adding: "@bgt launches this Saturday @itv." Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly was among the first to respond, writing: "Omggggg you look amazing!" as Amanda sported a two-piece from her swimwear brand, Naia Beach.

Ashley replied: "Smokin," with a flame emojis and the theme continued with Loose Women star Ruth Langsford and actress and TV chef Lisa Faulkner among those filling the comments section with the firey icons. And fans were also quick to respond to Amanda's latest eye-grabbing display.

@legobuildingred said: "Legit Goddess!!" @jay_gedge commented: "Absolutely stunning Amanda." @chelmsuk echoed: "Amanda, you look stunning." @joanna_twyman posted: "Bluudddy gowjus!" @issylilly15 shared: "No way!

It comes after Amanda addressed what many believe are her 'braless' appearances. While she gets ready to hit our screens once more in BGT alongside her fellow ITV talent show judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Toniolo, the mum-of-two wanted to put something straight - she does wear a bra – her nipples are just 'affected by the cold.'

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Amanda spoke in a lighthearted manner about the way she is referred to in the press, sometimes described in articles as ‘flaunting’ her legs or ‘parading’ down the street. "I’m not flaunting, I’m walking!" she said.

Moving on to the description of her being ‘braless’ in pap shots of her walking on the street, often to the Global studios where she presents Heart Breakfast alongside Jamie Theakston, Amanda insisted: "I’m not braless."

She went on: "The fact is, I’m wearing Skims [bras], but my nipples are always affected by the cold. There’s nothing I can do about it." Amanda then used a fairytale-based analogy to describe her problem – the Princess and the Pea. "20 mattresses down and you still see my nipples. They show through anything," she quipped before joking that they acted as a compass and that at least she would "never get lost."
