Amanda Holden sent pulses racing as she modelled a skimpy bikini as she continued filming the new series of BBC's Amanda & Alan's Italian Job in Italy on Monday.

The actress, 53, flaunted her eye-popping abs in the tiny two piece from her range at Next which boasted a triangular top and drawstring bottoms while soaking up the sun on a lavish yacht. 

Amanda shielded her eyes behind a pair of chic shades and ran he fingers through her long blonde locks as she posed up a storm for the snap shared to her Instagram Stories. 

The stunner has been keeping fans up to date with filming on the new series and recently slipped into leggy playsuit as she posed alongside pal and co-host Alan Carr, 47.

But while Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda is aboard the ITV show has been hit by fakery claims amid reports show bosses secretly created acts from scratch.

According to The Sun producers pitch ideas for potential viral auditions complete with scripts, music suggestions and lines for the judges to say. 

One example claims show bosses attempted to recreate the hype around 2022's terrifying magic act The Witch and approached freelance actor Andrew Fletcher to take on the role of last year's Scary Clown.

A source said: 'Scouting for talent on shows is nothing new but to actually be creating acts out of thin air is ridiculous'.

'The Witch went down so well that bosses wanted to recreate the hype. They thought playing on Simon's clown phobia would be ideal so pulled ideas together'.

Before adding: 'The public will feel the wool is being pulled if this sort of things goes on. It's as if they've been lied to, even if the goal was to make the best show possible'.

MailOnline have contacted ITV for comment. 

Saturday saw the talent show be involved yet again in another fix row as enraged fans called out professional singer Taryn Charles.

The special education teacher, 39,  was branded the show's 'best ever' Golden Buzzer act after Bruno Tonioli sent her through to the semi-finals following her incredible performance.

She also revealed she had previously met Simon when she was just 15 years old, when he worked at a record label near her home and claimed she told him of her dream.

But some viewers were left very unimpressed, rushing on X to remark that Taryn is already a professional singer - therefore making 'unfair' the competition for amateur talents. 

 'Yet again another professional singer?? Taryn Charles. What has happened to #BGT ?,' commented one person.

'Taryn Charles is already a professional singer, so you would expect her to have a good voice. Not fair on all the amateurs #BGT,' a second echoed.

'Another one with a career on stage masquerading as a.n amateur #BGT'; 'Taryn Charles - another professional singer. #BGT'.

Another person quoted a previous tweet adding a pointing arrow emoji: '#BGT Taryn Charles a Professional Singer.'
