Amanda Holden, 51, believes she's 'ageing like fine wine' as she spends week in bikini

Amanda Holden reportedly admitted she has become 'more self-assured' the older she gets.

The star, who recently celebrated turning 51 years old, has wowed fans with her age-defying looks and youthful glow.

A source recently claimed that the Britain's Got Talent judge has been 'feeling better about her body than ever.'

"Amanda loved being in her bikini for a week recently and for the first time in years, admitted she felt better about her body than ever," they said to Closer.

"She's loving the fact that as she grows older, she becomes more self-assured and she jokes how she embodies the term of ageing like a fine wine."

The source also claimed that the stunning star is 'finally in a place where feels confident and fully happy'.

Amanda celebrated her 51st birthday with her husband Chris Hughes and children in Dubai, UAE.

She shared many amazing snaps of her enviable figure as she posed in bikinis and soaked up the sunshine.

The radio star previously talked about her age-defying looks and thanked her family for the good genetics.

“We’ve got big cheeks in our family and good jawlines,” she said. “So I think as long as that’s all staying like that, I don’t mind.

“I don’t think I look 50 but I don’t think I look 30. I have been called Mandy Button in the past, which is such a flattering thing!”

Her nickname “Mandy Button” is after the movie character Benjamin Button.

Her secrets might be due to the fact she believes in 'everything in moderation'.

“I do look after myself, I run, I do yoga, I’m a vegetarian,” she went on.

“But I do love a drink. I don’t deny myself anything. After lockdown, I just think, ‘Don’t deny yourself now, just enjoy life’. If you want a glass of wine or a doughnut, have one.”

She also previously told The Daily Mail she has no plans to lose her sexuality as she gets older.

The star, who has faced Ofcom complaints about her racy outfits on TV at times, explained: "Look at Jane Fonda in her 80s. If you're like her and have been iconic for your looks as well as your brilliant acting, then you don't want to let that go. Why should you?

"Why would you want to lose your sexuality and how you're perceived physically. Of course, we all care about the inside, but it's not wrong to keep up appearances."
