Amanda Holden's new career move: Star sets up her own company as she teases exciting project
Amanda Holden is branching out into a new career.
The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, has been one of our brightest TV stars - but is equally renowned for her amazing figure.
The star has a flawless beauty and fitness regime, which includes yoga, healthy eating and facials.
The Heart radio host is also a brand amabassador for Revive Collagen - but now we can reveal that she's got plans to go it alone.
Amanda has now set up her own firm ALH Beauty Ltd.
ALH are her initials - Amanda's middle name is Louise. The nature of its business is the 'retail sale of cosmetic and toilet articles in specialised stores'.
Last month, Amanda teased that something special was on the way.
She posted a photo of soaking her feet in a warm spa, before transferring them into a bucket of iced water while eating a banana.
She captioned it with: 'This is what my #innercircle currently looks like'.
The post was a nod to a mysterious glamorous project that she is currently working on.
She also shared pictures of herself in full, old Hollywood glam, writing that her 'inner circle' is coming soon.
In the first montage image, she could be seen applying lipstick and showing off a dark, smoky eye look.
Above was a picture of an eyeshadow palette, teasing a new make-up collection.
This was followed by a shot of a beaming Amanda and then another of her putting in a pair of glitzy earrings.

In addition to her new beauty business, Amanda and her close pal Alan Carr are set to make a tidy profit from their Spanish TV renovation project.
The pair snapped up a crumbling 100-year-old townhouse in Granada for €65,000 (£55,000), transforming it into a stunning holiday home on their hit BBC show Amanda and Alan's Spanish Job.
They later listed it on Rightmove through Granada Village & Country with an asking price of €245,000 (£208,335).
After just over a month on the market, the Spanish townhouse appears to have found a buyer, as it's now marked as 'under offer'.
However, Amanda and Alan won't be keeping any profit as all proceeds from the sale will go to Comic Relief and Children in Need.
According to Manchester Evening News, a total of 35 offers were made for the property from buyers all over the world.
Ian Rutter, director of Granada Village & Country, told the publication: 'We invited offers over €245,000 for the property, allowing demand to settle the final value of the house.
'We always knew that the purchase price would be above market value, and it was clear that many of the potential buyers were very keen to support the two charities that will benefit from the proceeds of the sale.
'Some of the offers were very generous, but we looked at a number of factors when putting together a shortlist for the vendors.'
Amanda and comedian Alan painstakingly transformed the property with a Moorish-themed interior design - even hand picking the perfect kitchen tiles from the Bert & May factory in nearby Cabra themselves.

Love Island All Star flogs her wardrobe on Vinted – with items priced from a tenner
A LOVE Island pocket rocket has got fans in a fashion frenzy after shifting her old wardrobe on Vinted. The bombshell has put some of her pre-worn clothes on the selling site - with items going for a very affordable price. 9 9 9 9 Reality star and influencer Kady McDermott has thrilled followers by putting her clobber up for grabs for as little as a tenner on the second hand platform. She told followers on social media: "Shop my Vinted," along with an array of pictures of dresses, trousers, tops, sportswear, heels, trainers, shoes, occasionwear and ski gear. The former Towie star's for sale collection includes pink MyProtein size 6 leggings for £10 and a size 8 Distressed Denim Mini Dress from H:ours for £55. Amongst other penny-pinching steals, there's a size 8 Metallic Drape Bandeau Mini Dress for £190 from Retrofête and a size 8 Pretty Little Thing Distressed Faux Leather Biker Racer Jacket for £12. There's an XS Six Stories White Trouser Suit going for £60 and a Lavish Alice Rose Pink Dress, which has never been worn and has its original tags, size 6 for £50. The star is giving half the profit from threads sold towards a charity close to her heart, Brain Tumour Research. Kady wrote on the charity website: "Nan was the rock of our family… by the time they confirmed it was a brain tumour, there was nothing anyone could do…" She continued: "She was the best nan ever. My dad wasn't around when I was growing up so it was like I had two mums. "Nan lived close by and used to pick me up from school and make cakes for me and my brother Keenan and sister Kirsty. I remember her feeding us until we could hardly move! She was the perfect cook. "Growing up, I was really close to her and would probably tell Nan more about what was going on in my life than Mum. She was always on my side." Kady McDermott SPLITS from millionaire boyfriend & makes brutal 'you can't change bad morals' swipe She admitted: "Apart from a bit of a family history of migraines, which I suffer from too, everyone is pretty fit and healthy in my family. To be honest, I never thought serious illness could happen to us." Kady's official account splits 50% of the profit donated to The Brain Tumour Research Charity - and is run by her management team. It reads: "No refunds. Always posted within time frame. Happy shopping." This comes after Kady has confirmed she is back together with her millionaire ex boyfriend. The brunette beauty is back together with her on/off boyfriend millionaire Henry Simmons. Kady, 29, previously told fans she had caught Henry Simmons, 25, cheating with 'two women she found leaving his house'. The reality star, who first hinted in December that they were back together, has been spotted with Henry enjoying a luxury holiday in the Maldives. Kady - who originally appeared in the second series of Love Island - made waves in the recent All Stars by having an almighty falling out with fellow contestant Mitch Taylor. The Love Island's season 10 contestants went head to head with Mitch accusing Kady of having a secret boyfriend on the outside. 9 9 9 9 9

Brian Cox documentary maker dies in Alps accident
A leading British documentary maker has died in a mountaineering accident in the French Alps. Michael Lachmann, 54, slipped and fell while climbing down the Grands Couloirs glacier in the Vanoise National Park on Sunday morning. The father of two, the son of Sir Peter Lachmann, the Cambridge immunologist, was in the region to visit a property his family had owned for many years. Known as one of Britain's leading factual directors and producers, Mr Lachmann helped turn Prof Brian Cox into a household name following their work together on the BBC's Wonders series of programmes about nature and space. Prof Helen Lachmann, his sister, described him as 'the most lovely, funny, talented, witty, clever man and film-maker'. She added: 'He knew everything about everything, and made it sound fresh and funny. He adored his two boys, they were the centre of his whole life. He was much loved, and he will be much missed.' Award-winning career Mr Lachmann's career as a filmmaker spanned two decades, during which he was nominated for an Emmy and three Baftas, winning one. As well as Wonders, he made programmes about the Celts, Albert Einstein, Sir Stephen Hawking and cosmonauts. He was known for pioneering the use of CGI to portray space and prehistoric Earth, as well as filming underwater and in extreme environments. Mr Lachmann's agent said he had most recently been a showrunner for the series Spacetime Capsule, which offered 'unprecedented access to Chinese science and technology' and was released last year. In recent years he also directed a 90-minute film starring Prof Cox about Mars for BBC Two, along with an Emmy-nominated documentary about Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Mr Lachmann became a BBC producer and director after completing science degrees at Imperial College London and the University of Cambridge. He also worked with BBC presenters Marcus du Sautoy and the late Michael Mosley.
