Amanda Holden suffers cheeky wardrobe malfunction at Britain's Got Talent auditions

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden had the audience creased with laughter at the auditions for the ITV talent show as she suffered a cheeky wardrobe malfunction. Amanda laughed and joked with the audience and with her co-stars after her microphone pack fell down the back of her pink dress and slipped down to her bum.

"Say no to crack kids," she joked. "Literally, my mic pack has gone right down my bum," she explained as she joined her fellow judges Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.

"You'll be hearing all kinds of interesting noises," she joked in a clip captured from the audience. As she wriggled in her long-sleeved mini dress hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were amused by her prediciment with Ant quipping: "She's pooed her pants."

Amanda looked pretty in pink for the Greater Manchester round of auditions. The 51-year-old star wore her hair pulled back in a high ponytail and teamed her dress with silver high heels.

Fan amandaholden.f commented on snaps shared by Amanda on Instagram as she posed in her latest look: "Manchester brought your inner Barbie." And hanibal821 asked: "This photo taken in your 20's?"

And lesleyannexxx praised: I was sat behind Amanda at the Manchester auditions when she wore this dress and I can tell you she is absolutely FLAWLESS!!! So stunning."

Show hopefuls have been The Lowry theatre in Salford in a bid to impress the four judges Amanda, Alesha, Bruno and Simon Cowell and make it through to the next round to be in with a chance of winning £250,000 and a spot at the 2023 Royal Variety Performance. The auditions started at The Lowry on Tuesday (February 7).

Bruno was officially announced as Britain’s Got Talent's new judge after weeks of speculation, replacing David Walliams. The former Strictly Come Dancing judge was welcomed to the panel at the first audition taping at the end of last month at the London Palladium.

In a video shared by a fan, the audience gasped in excitement as the names of the judges were lowered from above the stage, as Ant said "here they come." Dec then announced: ‘Please give a huge London Palladium welcome to the four judges for this afternoon: They are Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli!’

An upbeat Bruno then appeared, punching the air and blowing kisses as he walked to the stage, wearing a sparkling red blazer. "Can we say a massive welcome to Bruno!" said Ant. Bruno said about Amanda and Alesha: "Look at these girls, they’re stunning!", and he said it was an "honour" to "finally" work with Simon. "He’s teased me with this for years. Years and years and years, and tell you, honestly, I’m thrilled to be here."
