Amanda Holden attended virtual parents' evening in swimsuit with glass of wine

Amanda Holden attended her daughter's virtual parents' evening in her swimming costume with a glass of wine because of hot weather. 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.
