Amanda Holden, 54, sends fans wild with her latest bikini pics
Amanda Holden sent fans wild as she stripped down to a tiny pink bikini in her latest social media video. The 54-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge donned matching pink heels to strut around a swimming pool on the Spanish holiday island of Majorca. Looking more like she was walking down a catwalk, the age-defying broadcaster and actress looked tanned and toned as her long blonde hair billowed behind her in the short clip, as Calvin Harris' latest track Blessings played over the top. In the caption, Amanda revealed she was in Majorca to film an ad campaign for Revive Collagen. She wrote: "Shooting a new campaign for @revivecollagen #mallorca," before revealing her bikini was by swimwear brand Melissa Odabash, which is loved by celebrities. 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." It comes days after Amanda went 'naked' during her radio show following yet more Ofcom complaints about her outfits on Britain's Got Talent. Her appearance even made her co-host Jamie Theakston do a double take. As she sat in her DJ chair on Thursday morning, Amanda said on air: "Good morning, Mr Theakston. It is 6.30am and I've just caught myself on the camera and don't you think I look naked this morning? Sat behind here?" Jamie replied: "Do you know what... you are wearing clothes, aren't you?" But though it looked like she might not be, Amanda was in fact just wearing a pink strapless dress which wasn't visible behind her monitor. Joking about her choice of outfit for the day, Amanda said: "I just looked [at myself] and went, 'What? Have I forgotten to put my clothes on?'" Amanda's BGT finale dress, which looked almost bridal in a white silk fabric with a low cut front, wasn't a hit with some viewers at home who complained that both her and co-star Alesha Dixon's frocks were "too revealing for a family show". Ofcom revealed they'd received 72 complaints in total. But thought she is regularly under fire for her risque outfits, Amanda has vowed to never tone down her fashion choices. In July 2017, Amanda wore a plunging see-through Julien Macdonald dress, which went on to be the most complained about TV moment of the year. She's previously revealed how all her outfits are checked before she goes on stage and joked there's an even a 't*t committee' who tell her whether she's alright to wear a dress or not. "There's a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air," she shared. "There's a t*t committee. There are so many brilliant people, they come down, knock on the door and there's the lady, who's the producer, who says, 'Mandy, it looks great'." In another interview, Amanda told Closer magazine: "I'm always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I'm never worried. I think people should have fun with fashion!" On her most complained about dress, she added: "It's all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about. It's been called another national crisis – but, oh no, I will not be covered up."

Inside Scots DJ Calvin Harris' big life changes from fatherhood to copyright row Calvin Harris has been in the eye of the storm recently over his new track Blessings, which has been compared to Chicane's hit Offshore, leading to TikTok debate. Calvin Harris and Vick Hope are to become parents (Image: Jed Cullen/Dave Benett/Getty Ima ) Calvin Harris has been making headlines once more, although not necessarily for the right reasons. The Scottish DJ has found himself viral on TikTok following the release of his new hit track, Blessings. The Dumfries-born DJ has been enjoying chart success lately with his new track, which has appeared to divide opinion in a furious rant with DJ Chicane over claims he 'copied' the star's iconic hit, Offshore. The argument has recently taken TikTok by storm. The 41-year-old is soon to become a dad alongside wife Vick Hope, after she announced her pregnancy earlier in May, he continues his chart-topping success despite certain backlash. But what actually happened and where did his career all begin? Early career Calvin, real name Adam Richard Wiles, has had quite the career blow-up since discovering his passion for music in high school at the age of just 15. The Scottish DJ, born in Dumfries, went from uploading his tracks on Myspace to becoming one of the most famous and well paid DJs on the planet with a stream of number one hits. Calvin Harris got into music at the age of 15 (Image: Getty Images ) Article continues below He went on to release two songs through the Prima Facie label in 2002. After an unsuccessful stint in London, he returned to Dumfries and developed solo recordings at home and posted them on his 'Myspace' page before being signed to a record label in 2006. His first studio album 'I Created Disco', released in 2007, debuted at no.8 on the UK Albums Chart with hit singles Acceptable In The 80s and The Girls. Just two years later, the DJ released his second studio album which debuted at no.1 on the UK Albums Chart and received gold certification later that year. It was after this album that he moved away from singing, and focussed on his role as a producer and allowing other vocalists to take the lead on his tracks. Calvin's success just kept getting bigger and better, as his collaboration with Rihanna on We Found Love for his third album was his first single to reach no.1 in the US - fully launching his career to superstardom. As reported on WealthyGorilla, Calvin Harris is the richest DJ in the world with a net worth of £300million. 'Copyright' song drama Chicane, real name Nicholas Bracegirdle, claimed that Calvin's new single copies his 1996 classic Offshore, which spent eight weeks in the charts. He shared a two-minute video on TikTok showing how a riff in Offshore cut and looped sounded the same as Blessings. He began by stating: "I'm Nick Chicane and welcome to the video that I thought I would never have to make. This is my right to reply to all the comments online about the new Calvin Harris single Blessings' similarity to my 30-year old Offshore." He played the two singles on his music editing software before stating: "It's really hard to decipher when one comes in and one goes, that is because they are almost identical. I am defending my copyright and intellectual property here guys - I'd like to know what your comments are here guys." It was Calvin's response however that had Scottish fans in hysterics. He filmed an eight-minute video insisting he hadn't copied the track, of him playing the two singles. He laughed and branded Nick 'stupid' as he insisted: "it's not the same, it's not the f***ing same." People were quick to hilariously compare his rant to that in Trainspotting. He captioned the post: "Response to the people calling me a plagiarist over the last couple of days after that guys video, all the best." Calvin then claimed in the comments that Chicane had actually used a sample in his song, writing: "If you make it to the end you're rewarded with the track HE ripped off originally for his song." Becoming a dad Elsewhere in his personal life, Calvin is set to become a dad alongside wife Vick Hope. The pair first met back in 2022, and later tied the knot in an outdoor carnival-themed ceremony the following year. Vick and Calvin's baby is set to have an interesting start to life with the pair owning several homes, including a farm in Ibiza and a 10-acre estate in the Cotswolds. The couple announced they were set to become parents earlier this month. The pair are reported to be in the process of building a mansion on their Cotswolds estate, which is reported to become their main place of residence. BBC Radio host Vick stressed on air that she didn't want to make a big deal out of her pregnancy. She said: "This is not an announcement, by the way. People keep saying are you going to announce, are you going to announce? And I'm like, I'm not the King. Article continues below "I'll be honest, I struggle with anything that's personal or private. I will tell you a story about eating a kebab out of a bin, that's one thing. "But there's a line and so I've never been that big on sharing. Particularly because I've just been enjoying this privately and quietly."

Calvin Harris rant goes viral amid Chicane plagiarism row
Blessings, featuring Clementine Douglas, was released on May 9 and faced criticism from fellow DJ Chicane who took to social media to claim that Harris had "copied" his own song, Offshore, released in 1991. Chicane, real name Nicholas Bracegirdle, posted a video on TikTok showing how a riff in Offshore cut and looped allegedly sounded the same as Blessings.

"This is my right to reply to all the comments online about the new Calvin Harris single Blessings' similarity to my 30-year old Offshore. "I am defending my copyright and intellectual property here guys - I'd like to know what your comments are here guys." Harris then posted an eight-minute-long video in response to the claims, which he captioned: "Response to the people calling me a plagiarist over the last couple of days after that guys video, all the best." @calvinharris Response to the people calling me a plagiarist over the last couple of days after that guys video, all the best x ♬ Blessings - Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas The video showed him playing the two singles alongside each other to see which parts sounded the same. He can be heard laughing and calling Bracegirdle a "stupid b****rd". "It's not the same as you hearing that on the radio and thinking 'ah, that reminds me of that Offshore tune' - you've not heard Offshore in about f***ing 20 years and you know it. "I'll keep playing it until you f***ing realise," he added.

"One, you didn't invent the guitar. Two, it's not the same, it's not the f***ing same." Another DJ, Sam Sax, remixed Harris's rant into its own song, which has since gone viral on social media. Hundreds of videos have used the sound, gaining tens of thousands of likes. Sharing the audio, one TikTok user said: "Two djs arguing over who stole whos idea for their summer hit is the funniest thing to happen this year". Another said: "A Calvin Harris rant becoming Scotland's song of the summer was not on my 2025 bingo card". Harris responded to the remix: "Hhahahahah".
