Amanda Holden, 54, flashes her peachy bottom in a windswept kaftan as she shares racy poolside snaps during her Greece getaway
Amanda Holden shared a very cheeky snap of herself flashing her bottom in a windswept kaftan as she posed for a series of poolside photos. The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, is currently on a sun-soaked Greece getaway with her best pal and Italian Job co-host Alan Carr. Taking to her Instagram on Wednesday, the mum-of-two turned up the heat in a SKIMS tiger print kaftan, worth a whopping £242. She teamed it on top of a matching £200 swimsuit and added inches to her frame with a pair of black heels. The beauty caught the eye in the sexy outfit as she gave a glimpse of her sizzling figure while posing up a storm in front of a stunning ocean backdrop. Amanda rounded off the slew of racy snaps with a sweet photo of Alan, as they enjoyed a drink by the pool. Amanda Holden shared a very cheeky snap of herself flashing her bottom in a windswept kaftan as she posed for a series of poolside snaps on Instagram on Wednesday It comes just days after Amanda put on a leggy display as she showcased her incredible figure on a boat. The star could be seen soaking up the sun in a flattering teal bikini in a snap shared on Monday. Wearing her wet hair back, the star accessorised with a pair of large black sunglasses as she posed on the front railing of a boat. She captioned the picture: 'Wearing @isabellemeiraswim.' Fans of the radio presenter were quick to praise her bikini snap, with the swimwear designer praising: 'Looking incredible as ever. Hope you're having a fabulous trip!'; 'I hope this is one of your outfits on the next series of BGT.'; 'You look awesome in a bikini xx.' Amanda recently struck a similar pose in the orange wrap-around bikini, this time accessorising with a straw hat and sunglasses. She could be seen relaxing outside a villa and again lounging by an infinity pool and wrote 'soaking it all up'. Opening up about how she stays in shape to Cosmopolitan, Amanda said: 'I have to run for my rosé wine in the summer and run for my red wine in winter. 'And I don't do it because I feel I have to; I do it for my own discipline and dignity.' Amanda also credited running for helping to clear her head. However, despite being so slim, Amanda stressed that she does not diet. Instead, she credits her flat stomach to a specific kind of yoga. She told the Express: 'I love Kundalini yoga. I just think it's really good for breath control. 'It's really good for sort of getting out any stress or tension." 'It's sort of a powerful empowering yoga, it's not the sort of yoga that everybody enjoys or loves. 'But for me, I feel really powerful and centred after - all of that sounds really cheesy, but that's how I feel.'

A cynic's struggles: 'The Book of George' wins Gabe Hudson Prize
A comic novel about a cynic's struggles to connect with others has won a $10,000 award named for a widely-respected author and editor, the late Gabe Hudson. Kate Greathead's 'The Book of George' is this year's recipient of the Gabe Hudson Prize, which is administered by the literary publisher McSweeney's. 'The Book of George' was praised by The Associated Press reviewer Kendal Weaver, who called Greathead 'a gifted storyteller who reels off dialogue filled with wit and humor so well it makes page-turning a pleasure.' Hudson, who died in 2023 at age 52, was a creative teacher, a McSweeney's editor and a prizewinning writer whose books included the novel 'Dear Mr. President.' The prize, endowed by his mother, Sanchia Semere, is given for a book that conveys 'humor, pathos, and a deep understanding of contemporary America.' Greathead said in a statement Wednesday that Hudson's "generosity of spirit and humor are traits I admire greatly in writers and non-writers alike, and to be a small part of his legacy is as meaningful a tribute as I can imagine." 'It has become an unfortunate cliché that award recipients often say they are 'humbled' on such occasions, but in thinking of what Gabe and his writing meant to people, it is the word that comes first to mind,' she added. The Hudson prize was launched last year: The first winner was Ayana Mathis' 'The Unsettled.'
