The 55-year-old television personality enjoyed a sun-soaked family holiday, where she slipped into a tiny green two-piece that highlighted her gym-honed body.

Britain's Got Talent Voting Controversy Erupts
Meanwhile, Britain's Got Talent has been embroiled in a significant controversy following a recent audition episode. Viewers expressed outrage after an act named MC Tazo, whose real name is Kevin Hogg, advanced to the next round under questionable circumstances. The act performed at Blackpool's Winter Gardens for judges Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and KSI, but received mixed reactions.
Before his performance, MC Tazo was shown greeting presenters Ant and Dec backstage, where Ant revealed they were big fans of his work. On stage, Kevin switched into his MC Tazo persona, delivering a rap that included the line: 'When I say Britain's got you say talent,' with the crowd responding enthusiastically. However, by the end of his act, Amanda and Alesha both pressed their red buzzers, indicating disapproval.
Despite this, KSI and Simon Cowell each gave a 'yes' vote, but since the show requires a majority of three 'yes' votes to proceed, MC Tazo initially fell short. In a surprising turn, Ant and Dec intervened on stage, asking if they could contribute a 'yes' to make it three. Simon Cowell agreed, stating: 'Okay, right, we will change the rules. Two yeses four yeses you’re through.' This decision allowed MC Tazo to advance, leaving the presenters and performer thrilled.
Viewer Backlash and Accusations of Rigging
The move sparked immediate backlash from fans on social media platform X, with many accusing the show of unfair practices. One viewer wrote: 'BGT picking and choosing who to push because MC TAZO was awful and he’s a cringe,' while another commented: 'This is what you call rigging to the max.' A third user added: 'Thanks to Ant and Dec MC Tazo is through,' and a fourth chimed in: 'Ok, so acts now get through because they’re mates with the presenters…?'
This controversy has raised questions about the integrity of the judging process on Britain's Got Talent, contrasting sharply with Amanda Holden's carefree holiday moments. As the show continues its auditions, fans are left debating whether such interventions undermine the competition's fairness, all while Amanda enjoys her family time in the sun.
