Television and radio star Amanda Holden has once again set social media alight, this time with a playful and risqué homage to one of cinema's most infamous moments.
A Cheeky Office Recreation
The Britain's Got Talent judge and Heart Radio presenter shared a video with her Instagram followers where she recreated Sharon Stone's legendary scene from the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct. Sitting in an office wearing a burgundy leather mini skirt, Amanda uncrossed her legs to reveal a flash of her black and white underwear.
"I didn't want to do a Basic Instinct there," she joked to the camera. "Although I am wearing pants because it's Tuesday!" The original scene featured Sharon Stone's character, Catherine Tramell, famously going commando while being questioned by detectives.
Beyond the Viral Moment: 'Try January' and Home Life
Moving on from the cheeky reference, the 54-year-old star then chatted to her followers about her outfit and her plans for the new year. She revealed she is forgoing traditional resolutions in favour of a "Try January," which involves sampling new things and attempting a brief detox from alcohol.
"I'm two days in, I've got the shakes but I am on a tiny detox until at least Friday," she admitted when a colleague asked how it was going, before blowing a kiss and heading back to her desk.
Amanda, who shares two daughters—Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 14—with her talent manager husband Chris Hughes, 51, also offered a glimpse into her busy home life. The family moved into their £7 million Surrey home in November 2024, which she has transformed from a minimalist space into a bold, maximalist mansion.
Practical Glamour in a Family Home
Despite the opulent decor featuring leopard print wallpaper and gold trims, Amanda prioritises practicality for her family, which includes two dogs and a cat. She previously told The Mirror that having wipe-clean wooden floors throughout the ground floor is essential for easy clean-ups.
She also converted her old dining room into a bar, preferring a large kitchen where guests can socialise while she cooks. A self-confessed Sex and the City fan, she was thrilled when her husband created a dream wardrobe for her, complete with a remote-controlled mirror, in their previous property.
Amanda Holden continues to balance her high-profile career in entertainment with her role as a mother, proving that a touch of Hollywood glamour can very much be part of a vibrant, family-focused life in the British countryside.
