Amanda Holden bares her bum as she recreates iconic tennis pose
Cheeky Amanda Holden served up a tennis treat as the age-defying TV and radio star gets ready for the second week of Wimbledon.
The 54-year-old Britain's Got Talent recreated the famous Tennis Girl poster as she appeared to brush off recent Ofcom complaints over her daring wardrobe on the ITV show. She showed off some skin as she lifted up part of her pink skirt under the sun in Majorca during a photoshoot.
Her snap, already liked by over 40,000 fans on Instagram alone, saw the star on court as she promoted Revive Collagen. She captioned the upload: "Cheeky? Are you enjoying Wimbledon?" Some of the stars to give her some love were Piers Morgan and Scarlett Moffatt.
The legendary Tennis Girl image was captured by photographer Martin Elliott and it featured his then girlfriend, 18-year-old Fiona Butler, back in 1976. Athena sold more than two million copies - but the model, who went on to become a mother of three and freelance illustrator, did not receive any royalties.
She said: "I was very naive and was paid nothing, and I think it's the biggest-selling poster ever. My mother has a very faded copy in what used to be my father's study and I just have it in the form of a very small postcard." Ms Walker was not a keen tennis player and borrowed her tennis dress from a "friend of a friend", her father's plimsolls, and used "the dog's" tennis balls for the image.
Meanwhile, Jamie Theakston says Amanda has been a 'key part' of his recovery following a battle with stage one laryngeal cancer, which he was given the all clear for in January. The Heart Breakfast presenter, 54, told Mirror: "Amanda has been fantastic, she's been a part of my recovery. So, yeah, it has brought us closer as friends."
Jamie was diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer back in September 2024 after listeners noticed a difference in his voice - initially putting it down to a mere sore throat. The broadcaster has since undergone three surgeries and revealed in January that he was cancer free.
And giving an update on how he's feeling now, five months after getting the all clear and returning to work, Jamie said: "I'm feeling great, my family are all really great too." Jamie shares children Sidney, 17, and Kit, 16, with his wife of almost two decades Sophie Siegle, with the presenter admitting that his family are all 'relieved' and happy to have him back in healthy form.
While Jamie and Amanda may be tight-knit friends, he revealed that the early morning wake up calls don't always have them on the right side of the bed. "We can be moody sometimes," he laughed.
"But we just argue it out on air and then it's fine! "I personally celebrate my 20th year [on Heart] this year - I was only meant to do two! So I don't quite understand how that happened, but, no, I love it, I love going in every day. It's a great job. Here's to twenty more."
Amanda is no stranger to showing off her incredible figure. She sent fans wild last month as she stripped down to a tiny pink bikini as she enjoyed the sunshine. Matching pink heels to strut around a swimming pool on the Spanish holiday island of Majorca, she was quick to let everyone know she was having a great time.
And fans couldn't quite believe what they were seeing, as one wrote in the comments: "Imagine being in your 50's and looking that good in a bikini," as another replied: "Right?" As many more posted heart and flame emojis, a third said: "Looking fabulous!!!" A fourth declared her "perfection", as a fifth commented "what a body." A sixth joked: "Look amazing, wish I could walk in those shoes!"
Her celebrity pals were equally in awe. Ex-EastEnders' star Jo Joyner wrote: "You're ridiculously hot" followed by a flame emoji. "There she is," said former The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers. Vicky Pattinson simply wrote: "AMANDA!!!!" with four flame emojis. While her Heart FM co-star, former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts commented: "Jheeez."

Inside notorious Scots gangster's glitzy night backstage at Oasis cosying up to Noel Gallagher & massive BBC star
GNAGSTER Robert Kelbie has been snapped cosying up to Oasis stars and A-listers backstage at the Britpop legends' huge reunion gigs in Cardiff this week. The playboy Scots fraudster. 41. wore a VIP pass and a wide grin in the brazen snap shared on Instagram. 7 Robert Kelbie brazenly shared pics of himself hobnobbing backstage with Noel Gallagher 7 The gangster with former Doctor Who star Matt Smith 7 Kelbie, who is living it up as a boxing promoter, with Oasis guitarist Gem Archer He brazenly shared pics of himself hobnobbing backstage with Noel Gallagher, Oasis guitarist Gem Archer, and former Doctor Who star Matt Smith. And in veiled dig at rivals - he posted video of himself at the gig on Instagram to the soundtrack of the Oasis hit Stay Young which includes the lyrics: 'Stay young and invincible, come what may we're unstoppable.' Kelbie, now living it up as a flashy boxing promoter, is no stranger to the high life and is a known enemy of caged cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson, 38. Richardson is currently behind bars, while his allies - including the feared Daniel Clan - are in a bloody turf war with Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill and a group known as Tamo Junto. 7 Kelbie, now living it up as a flashy boxing promoter is a known enemy of caged cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson (pictured) Credit: SCOTTISH SUN 7 Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill is waging war on Mark Richardson and his associates Sources say Kelbie is revelling in the carnage ripping through his rival's empire. A rival hit out: 'Kelbie makes out that he's some sort of socialite and pals with the Gallagher brothers and most of these people won't know his past. 'He's an enemy of Mark Richardson and will be loving all the violence that's been directed towards his empire in Edinburgh. 'Kelbie and his crew swig champagne in the VIP area and try to legitimise himself by being a boxing promoter but if some of these stars Googled who they were posing for pictures with then they might think twice about it.' McGill, an ex-Rangers ultras chief, is now living in the UAE but was left raging after fake cash was used in a £500,000 drugs deal. Hundreds gather for double funeral of slain Scots gangsters Eddie Lyons Jr & Ross Monaghan He ordered blade attacks, shootings and firebombings across the Central Belt sparking a seemingly unstoppable gang feud. Kelbie - who was once filmed being floored by a rival more than a decade younger in a bareknuckle building site scrap - has links to fugitive Irish kingpin and ex-fight promoter Daniel Kinahan. He fled his home at Ratho Station, Edinburgh, in 2016 after it was blasted by Gerard Docherty, 45 — who was caged for 10½ years in 2018 alongside Richardson and other members of a £200million supergang. His appearance back stage at the Oasis gig is not the first time Kelbie has been seen in the company of the rich and famous. He's close pals with Tyson Fury, and even gave the champ, 35, a tour of Scotland last year — stopping off in trendy Edinburgh bars and taking in the sights. He's also been seen posing backstage with Noel Gallagher on other occasions. 7 Robert Kelbie has previously been pictured with Tyson Fury 7 Kelbie has been pictured alongside footie legend Sir Alex Ferguson Kelbie's celeb selfie stash also includes shots with Sir Alex Ferguson, 82, Wayne Rooney, and boxing legend Mike Tyson. His latest social media spree shows him mingling backstage as Oasis kicked off their hotly-anticipated reunion tour — but not everyone's impressed by his A-list antics. The gangster's red carpet lifestyle comes as Scotland's gangland war explodes, with two men arrested in connection with firebombings and attempted murder. The busts bring the total arrests to 52 as cops ramp up their crackdown on the on the escalating gang feud across the central belt. In a feared revenge for the gang war focusing on the Daniel and Richardson empires, the execution of two members of the rival Lyons group of hoods was ordered in Spain. Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were shot dead as they watched the Champions League final in Monaghan's Irish Bar in the resort of Fuengirola. We told how hundreds of mourners gathered on Friday for their double funeral. Lyons, 46, and Monaghan, 43, were laid to rest by loved-ones in a joint ceremony just over one month after they were gunned down. The solemn occasion comes days after we revealed authorities in Spain handed over the pair's bodies to relatives to be repatriated to Scotland. More than 500 friends, family and underworld figures gathered at Bishopbriggs Crematorium in north Glasgow to show respect to Monaghan and Lyons Jnr - son of Godfather Eddie, 67, and brother of Dubai-based mob boss Steven Lyons, 44.
