Amanda Holden wears same outfit four days in a row as she leads judges at BGT auditions

Amanda Holden ensured that she turned heads as she arrived to another day of Britain's Got Talent auditions at The London Palladium on Friday in the same outfit she's worn throughout the entire week of auditions.

The judge, 51, who is known for her risqué BGT outfits, made a dramatic entrance to the venue on Friday as she modelled the recycled outfit as filming continued for the new series of the ITV talent show.

The long-running ITV show has been hit with a series of controversies involving its changing judging panel, with Bruno Tonioli 's arrival rumoured to be causing tension behind the scenes.

Despite the rumoured drama behind-the-scenes, Amanda looked in high spirits as she arrived at the final day of auditions this week.

Never one to shy away from dramatic looks, the blonde bombshell stunned in the denim blazer and towering black patent heels – which is the same look she had been snapped in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the auditions at the London Palladium.

Fellow judges Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli also followed suit as they posed on the red carpet in the same looks they had been photographed on previous days.

Alesha's sleek outfit consisted of a leather-look shirt dress with a long panel down one side, which she matched with a pair of knee-high boots.

Meanwhile former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno put on a dazzling display in a glitzy red sequinned blazer, which he let do all the talking as he wore a black shirt and jeans along with it.

Finally, head judge Simon Cowell also sported the same ensemble throughout the week as he wore a grey crew neck jumper and black jeans.

Last week the Mirror exclusively revealed Bruno, 67, had been chosen to replace David Walliams on the talent show.

Walliams left under a cloud last year after crude comments he made about a woman and calling a pensioner a 'c***' during filming for the show in 2020 were leaked.

The comedian's spot on the panel was filled by vivacious Strictly judge Tonioli - with head judge Cowell rumoured to have gone over his bosses' heads after they eyed up Alan Carr for the upcoming series.

Praising the addition of Tonioli, one source revealed: "He and Simon have long hoped to work together so this has proved the perfect opportunity.

"Everyone’s very excited," they claimed.

Rumours have since been swirling that Bruno's signing may have ruffled a few feathers with allegations that long-standing judges Amanda and Alesha Dixon are 'furious' that Bruno will receive the same wage as them.

The Italian is reportedly set to bag the same £850,000 salary as the mainstays – with Alesha, 44, joining in series six and veteran Amanda, 51, being on the show since 2007 when it first began.

The insiders have claimed the pair are unhappy that former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno has walked into the job on the same wage as them, despite their experience and longevity.

A source told The Sun : "It’s a bit of a headache for BGT given filming for the next series begins at the London Palladium on Tuesday.

"Bruno was still ironing out his contract on Friday too so it’s all very much down to the wire."

Alesha and Amanda were said to be holding back on singing on the dotted line until a replacement for David Walliams was confirmed and the pair are said to have since quizzed their bosses on their wage.

It has even been claimed an initial seven-figure deal for Bruno was lowered over fears of a backlash – but Bruno receiving the same amount as his fellow judges has also "caused a rift".
