Amanda Holden has told fans the reason behind her recent American break as she returned to the UK amid Britain's Got Talent hitting screens. The TV and radio star took a two-and-a-half-week trip across the pond as she spent time away from her duties on Heart Breakfast which she hosts with Jamie Theakston.
During her trip, Amanda was seen causing a stir with fellow Heart Radio 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 as she returned to work on Monday morning (April 17), Amanda explained the main reason for her trip while dazzling her followers in a figure-hugging dress. The 52-year-old looked amazing as she slipped into the brightly coloured midi gown, which hugged down to her calves and boasted a plunging v-neckline and long bell sleeves.

The BGT judge, actress and singer could be seen placing one arm up as she struck a pose to best show off the green dress, which she paired with a pair of pointed white heels. While modelling the eye-cathcing number, Amanda told fans she was excited to be back after "two and a half weeks" off looking at "universities for her daughter".
And it comes after Amanda gave fans a look at what she gets up to behind the scenes at Britain's Got Talent as the hit talent show burst back onto our screens over the weekend. The 16th series kicked off on Saturday night before returning on Sunday with a double helping of the pre-recorded auditions.
The new episodes also saw the first appearance of new judge Bruno Tonioli on the show as he joined Amanda, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell on the judging panel for the auditions rounds which took place earlier this year in London and Manchester.
In her behind-the-scenes 'day in the life' style video she shared to Instagram over the weekend, mum-of-two Amanda oozed glamour as she got ready for filming. But it wasn't long before she was leaving little to the imagination in the video blog as she took her fans along with her from early morning to late night.
The video kicked off with Amanda headed to work at Heart Radio in central London and she looked as glamourous as ever on her commute to work in Leicester Square in a striped suit. She then filmed herself stripping naked for a shower as she allowed her towel to drop down on the floor before she stepped in.
The clip then cut to Amanda stepping out of the shower only to be handed a cup of coffee before she began to get ready, proceeding to sit comfortably in her glam chair as she got her hair and makeup seen to by her team. After a period of glam time, Amanda was greeted by her fellow BGT judges before it was time to get in front of the audiences and look for the latest talent the country has to offer.
