Amanda Holden, 52, hailed a 'queen' with 'wrong' age as she sports nothing but a shirt and denies ITV Britain's Got Talent David Walliams claims

Amanda Holden has been hailed a 'queen' as she slipped into nothing but a shirt for her latest cover shoot. The Britain's Got Talent judge has reflected on her marriage breakdown to Les Dennis, revealed her beauty secrets, and denied claims she was involved in David Walliams' exit from BGT in her latest interview.

Taking to Instagram, Amanda shared a look at her cover girl moment as she appeared on the front of The Times Magazine on Saturday (March 25). The 52-year-old looked sensational with a golden tan as she posed for the camera in a crisp white shirt.

Her blonde locks had been coiffed to perfection as they blew half behind her back and half down her shoulder. Amanda gave a soft yet serious look towards the camera as she sported a bronzed make-up pallette with a nude lip. "I've done the hard jobs," the headline read.

"I've cleaned toilets, I've made beds, but here I am at 52 having the time of my life," it added. And the compliments came flooding in for Amanda as she shared the magazine's cover with her 1.9 million followers. Heart Breakfast co-star Ashley Roberts simply commented: "Stunning," while Davina McCall also shared one word, writing: "Wowzers."

Loose Women favourite Ruth Langsford said: "Wow! What a shot….stunning!" Tamzin Outhwaite replied: "Wonder woman and FIT !!" Former Strictly star and Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse shared: "I mean queen," while the likes of Louise Redknapp and former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley flooded the comments section with fire emojis.

@nishascookingagain said: "Gosh you are stunning." @ashleyaaronpierce commented: "Wow look at you so beautiful." @peter.bell.311 posted: "One of life's beautiful people inside and out." @32jt2019 shared: "Wow….looks like they got 52 back to front!" @stratkaz62 wrote: "Good for you! Shows what dedication and hard work gets you. Looking amazing."

@travisangellmorrissey replied: "Absolute goddess." @hayleys_loveofvintage typed: "Just beautiful, once had the pleasure of bumping into you in a bar in London and you are such a girls girls." @cocofierce_x added: "Such a beauty. Always my favorite."

In the interview, Amanda finally commented on David Walliams' exit from Britain’s Got Talent. The Little Britain star was replaced on the ITV talent show earlier this year by former Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli after a leaked set recording from 2020 heard the actor and author making sexually explicit comments about a contestant.

Amanda, who has been a judge on the show since 2007, was asked whether she had a hand in her former co-star's decision to step down. "It’s not the mafia we work for. Oh my God, no!" she told The Times. "He decided to step away. [Fellow BGT judge] Alesha [Dixon] and I are having dinner with him in two weeks and he’s very happy writing. It was just… time to step back."
