Amanda Holden attended virtual parents' evening in swimsuit with glass of wine
The 54-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge said her child's teachers said she was 'jammy' as they were stuck at school, in an interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain.
Holden explained: 'Well, instead of a bikini, I did cover up and wear a swimming costume, can I say.
'But it was so hot, and I balanced the iPad here [at her neckline], so they had just this view.
'But every teacher was like, 'Oh, you're so jammy,' because they were all stuck in a stock cupboard somewhere.
'What I didn't say is that I had a sneaky little rosé under my deck chair as well to get through it.'
'Bullied is a strong word'
The presenter went on to say she wanted a group such as the Post Office Choir, an ensemble formed of people impacted by the Horizon scandal that saw hundreds of sub-postmasters wrongly convicted of theft, fraud and false accounting, to win this year's edition of talent show Britain's Got Talent.
Holden said: 'You know me, I'm not one for sitting on the fence, and I've always said that I would love our Britain's Got Talent winner this year to be a group of people.
'Because it would be amazing for the money to be divvied out amongst all of them, and for the joy to be spread, and to be at the Royal Variety, I think for a choir or a large group of people, would be amazing.'
Richard Madeley, the Good Morning Britain host, asked Holden if the judges ever felt bullied into pressing their golden buzzers, which automatically send contestants through to the next round of the ITV talent show.
She admitted: 'Bullied is a strong word to bandy around – heavily encouraged, yes, and often you do it because of our audience. It's a live show, you rely on the public vote, and the audience is never wrong.'
Britain's Got Talent will return on ITV and ITVX on Sunday at 7pm, rather than its usual Saturday spot, because of the FA Cup final.

Ray Winstone recalls miserable role in Hollywood blockbuster
British actor Ray Winstone has criticised Marvel, suggesting the dominance of superhero films hinders the production of more "cultural films". Speaking at the Sarajevo Film Festival, Winstone stated the film industry is increasingly focused on ticket sales and actors' social media following rather than meaningful roles. Winstone expressed frustration over having to reshoot "all of" his scenes for Marvel's 2021 film Black Widow. He recalled being told by producers that his performance was "too strong", leading to the extensive reshoots, which he found disheartening. The actor, who played the villain Dreykov in Black Widow, previously described his experience working on the Marvel film as "soul-destroying".

We lost an eye-watering £250k on ITV's The Fortune Hotel - here's why we have NO regrets thanks to moments cut from show
They were the first duo to secretly receive the £250,000 on the new series of The Fortune Hotel, but brothers Jake and Mike saw a cruel twist of fate unfurl. In series two of the ITV show, fronted by Stephen Mangan, a brutal twist meant that Mike, 33, and Jake, 29, were dealt the early checkout card and sent packing. On night one, the duo received the fortune case but got cold feet and gave it away after suspecting their moves might have led another couple to find out they had the money. The energy surveyor and construction worker swapped the eye-watering amount of cash with retired couple Fred and Min's case, which they knew was empty as they were fortune holders. The next night, James and Yasmin sealed Jake and Mike's fate when they swapped their case with theirs and the brothers were sent home with the early checkout card. But the brothers don't regret their game play and being sent home so soon, especially thanks to being treated to four days at an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean before having to head home. Speaking to Yahoo UK, Mike admitted: 'We don't regret it... in hindsight, we'd have probably played it a little different.' Jake added: 'It felt right at the time, I didn't want to upset anybody [by giving the checkout card], so we thought we'd just be fair, put it to the back of the line. 'But in the end it turned out to be our downfall, didn't it?' Jake shared that they felt they had no choice but to give away the case because the early checkout card could have come their way. In a clip of the first episode, the players were given some very shocking news from presenter Stephen, 57. After stepping out of a fancy car, Stephen walked towards the pairs in a light blue suit as they all gave him a big cheer. He told them: 'Welcome to Grenada airport. How are you all doing? I expect you are all wondering what is going on? 'Well, we're here to play a game and it will result in one pair heading home with a life changing amount of money. Your first challenge is to find a room key and take it to the hotel. The next night, James and Yasmin sealed Jake and Mike's fate when they swapped their case with theirs and the brothers were sent home with the early checkout card 'But there are 11 pairs here - and there are only 10 rooms available at the Fortune Hotel.' The contestants gasped in absolute shock. The Fortune Hotel premiered last year on ITV and follows The synopsis reads: 'You can't trust anyone at The Fortune Hotel. Join Stephen Mangan at a luxury resort filled with glamour and deception as pairs of contestants compete for £250K.' The programme's podcast, Late Check Out, is hosted by funny woman Ellie Taylor.
