Amanda Holden wows as 'sexy' Dorothy for World Book Day in thigh-skimming gingham dress

Amanda Holden wowed as she transformed herself into a "sexy" Dorothy for World Book Day, clad in a thigh skimming gingham dress and pigtails.

The TV and radio star, 52, took on the iconic character as he hooked a wicker basket over one arm and showed off her toned legs in a pair of glittery red stilletos.

BGT judge Amanda recreated the famous look alongside her Heart Breakfast co-stars Jamie Theakston and Ashley Roberts as Tin Man and The Cowardly Lion.

The mum-of-two took to Instagram to show off their looks as they walked down the yellow brick road.

Amanda captioned the post to her 1.9 million followers: "I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore #worldbookday #wizardofoz"

Followers were quick to share their love for Amanda's outfit. Natalie Appleton said: "Omg amazing"

World Book Day is a charity event held every year which encourages people to dress up as their favorite book characters.

Every school child receives a voucher to be spent on books and has been running since 1997.

The media personality has recently been showing off her style as she made sure all eyes were on her as she left the Heart FM studios earlier this week.

Amanda ditched her bra while sporting a white cardigan - leaving little to the imagination. She completed her look with a camel coat, matching shoes and a calf-length skirt.

The Britain's Got Talent host is known for her incredible figure and shocked fans when she revealed her age during recent birthday celebrations.

Sharing pictures in a bikini, she told her followers: "52 today -grateful to be alive and happy with people I love."

However fans thought Amanda looked more like 25 with one telling the TV star she 'set the bar high for other women'.

The much loved TV star also took her style back in time while paying a visit to an ABBA concert. She caused a stir as she posed in a black jumpsuit and sparkly ankle boots.

She captioned her post: "Well. You don’t need me to say this is BLOODY BRILLIANT BUT IT IS BLOODY BRILLIANT @abbavoyage I wept with joy."

Amanda recently starred in comedy TV series Amanda & Alan's Italian Job, which she stars in alongside comedian Alan Carr.

The pair entertained fans as they transformed a €1 Sicilian apartment.
