Amanda Holden flashes her legs as she arrives at Britain's Got Talent in Union Jack cab

Amanda Holden has put on another head-turning display as she rocked up at the London Palladium for the second day of auditions for the new series of Britain's Got Talent.

The 51-year-old had already wowed fans as she rocked up on just a blazer and heels on the first day of auditions and has once again outdone herself – this time by the vehicle which she made her entrance in.

Amanda wore a denim mini dress, which showed off her toned legs, along with a pair of black patent super high platform heels, which had a small ankle strap and accentuated her pins even more. The ensemble was the same that she had been snapped in the day before.

She wrapped up from the chilly January weather as Amanda draped a camel coat over her shoulders and hugged a hot water bottle – showing how much she was feeling the freeze.

As she made her way to the theatre, with the help of a man with a megaphone, Amanda stepped out of a bright blue tuk-tuk, which had been decorated in red, white and silver tinsel and had two Union Jack flags placed on either side of the roof.

She styled her blonde locks in large barrel curls and a middle parting and added a pair of large black sunglasses as she made her way inside the theatre.

Amanda's stylish transport was parked alongside a black and yellow decorated tuk-tuk, styled to emulate a black cab, and had a sticker on the side with Ant and Dec's face on.

New judge Bruno Tonioli, who is reported to have tripled his Strictly Come Dancing salary in a mega-deal with BGT, was ever the keen judge on the new job as he was photographed looking in high spirits as he heading into the London Palladium.

Bruno looked in high spirits as he entered the theatre.

He opted for a more casual look than the sparkly red blazer he had been snapped in during the first day's auditions – as he sported a a furry coat of the same colour with layers of black tops underneath.

Bruno smiled as he shielded his eyes with a pair of sunglasses with blue lenses and sported a scarf around his neck.

Meanwhile, head judge Simon Cowell was also photographed making his way into the theatre ready to critique this year's offering of BGT hopefuls.

Unlike judge Amanda and Ant and Dec Simon, 63, arrived in a stylish black car. He wore a grey knitted jumper as he made his entrance into the theatre.

The photos mark the start of the second day of auditions for the new series – where Bruno, 67, replaced David Walliams on the ITV show's judging panel.

David, 51, quit the show after a decade on the programme following his apology after crude comments he made about a woman and calling a pensioner a 'c***' during filming for the show in 2020 were leaked.

Ahead of his first day on the show, reports of a feud between Amanda, Alesha and ITV were said to have broken out amid a fallout over pay.

It had been claimed the pair were "furious" that Bruno would receive the same salary as them – despite them being judges on the show for a number of years.

But, the rumours were soon rubbished as a Britain's Got Talent Spokesperson told The Mirror: "Simon, Amanda, Alesha and Ant and Dec were delighted to welcome Bruno to the Britain’s Got Talent family yesterday for the first day of auditions for 2023.

"The opening day’s contestants featured some fantastic auditions and the rapport between the judges - including newcomer Bruno - was fun and immediate. This bodes well for a very successful new series."
