Amanda Holden told 'thank goodness' over string of dazzling leg-baring snaps as she breaks silence on Britain's Got Talent final

Amanda Holden's social media followers have breathed a sigh of relief as they admitted to being unable to 'cope' with her stunning looks on Britain's Got Talent. The ITV talent show's judge had been wowing viewers and fans with her gowns during the string of live semi final shows.

And she pulled out all the stops on Sunday night (June 4) as the final of the 2023 run aired live on ITV. Sporting a strapless mini dress, the 52-year-old dazzled in the sparkly number which nipped in at her waist to reveal her gym-honed figure.

The sparkling attire, which was embellished with little sequins and boasted a dangling beaded trim, also showed off Amanda's endless legs which had been tanned to perfection for their TV display. She added some equally sparkling silver wrap heels to match the frock and accessorised with chunky clear bangles and a rose gold necklace.

She teamed her glam look with a pink smokey eye and let her blonde hair fall down her back in natural beachy waves. Taking to Instagram, Amanda shared a string of posing pictures, writing: "The @bgt Grand Final 2023."

And the compliments quickly came flooding in. Former Love Island star Laura Anderson said: "Thank goodness I can’t take anymore of these fabulous looks." Ruth Langsford posted: "Stunning as always!" with a string of flame emojis. Steps singer Claire Richards replied: "Epic frock." TV and radio star Jenni Falconer added: "Truly stunning."

Fans were too sharing their compliments. @gaynorking said: "I LOVE this look!!!!!!! Where is that dress from!!! Amazing." @dillyfranklin wrote: "Amanda you look so gorgeous, you look like barbie!" @thebrown1 shared: "Saved the Best for Last." @radi.radev.5496 posted: "No words , best look!" @dcdoyle1968 added: "Looking AMAZING as always Amanda."

Amanda has since broken her silence on the final after it came in for criticism from viewers. The 2023 run of the ITV talent show came to an end on Sunday night (June 4) with Viggo Venn emerging victorious.

The Norwegian comedian, who was told he had "captured the heart of the nation" with his hi-vis inspired routines, beat off stiff competition with 13-year-old dancer Lilliana Clifton and 14-year-old magician Cillian O’Connor finishing in second and third place respectively.

Viggo, who said at his first audition that he wanted to become a British comedian, scooped the £250,000 prize, as well as a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance after his live grand final performance on the ITV talent show.

But taking to her Instagram Story on Monday morning (June 5), Amanda appeared to show her love for the winning act by donning her hi-vis as she headed to work on Heart Breakfast. Taking her seat in the Global studios, the mum-of-two typed alongside the image: "2 hours sleep."

Live on the air, Amanda started the show by saying: "I am fresh… that's all. Well… maybe fresh," to which co-host Jamie Theakston added: 'When I say fresh, that's two hours sleeping." A giggling Amanda replied: "Ahh, yes! Oh dear."

Jamie then asked: "Is there anymore high vis under that or is it just the one?" to which Amanda quipped: "Where's the coffee?" before adding: 'I'm in high-vis this morning I should say. I've had two hours sleep but I'm in my high-vis because I thought it was relevant because obviously Viggo was our winner."
