The latest series of Britain’s Got Talent is set to return to our screen this weekend, with TV personality Amanda Holden returning as one of the judges on the hit ITV show. Amanda, 54, sits on the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli – and this year guest judge KSI
The entertainment show sees performers take to the stage in the hope of to securing a spot at the Royal Variety Show and winning a huge cash prize. Amanda has been in the public eye ever since she first shot to stardom as a contestant on Blind Date in 1991.
She is perhaps best known as a Britain’s Got Talent judge, but she also hosts her own breakfast radio show on Heart, has appeared on the likes of This Morning and co-presents hit series Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job, alongside Alan Carr.
At this time of year especially, Amanda’s Instagram is regularly filled with Britain’s Got Talent photos. But through the years, she has given her fans a brief glimpse into her family life and stunning home.
When she’s not filming or working on other projects, Amanda regularly shares updates from her inside her beautiful home with her 2.5m Instagram followers. Amanda married to record producer Chris Hughes in 2008 and together they share two children.
The couple first met in 2002, just months after Amanda separated from her then husband, Liverpool comedian Les Dennis. The family have an impressive mansion in Sussex, that reportedly cost £7million, which Amanda said was inspired by the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel.
Speaking to MailOnline last year, Amanda said: “This is my dream home. My entire life I have wanted the dream home, and you know you do the stepping up and now I’ve finally got it,” reports the Express.
She continued: “It was the perfect house, and most people would have probably moved in and kept it the same, but it was a very pale, white and grey house and it’s not like that anymore. I am turning it into the Beverly Hills Hotel, that’s my aim.
“I have just planted two palm trees in the garden, which makes me feel so happy.” Still working on making each space in her home just right, Amanda regularly shares updates and shares “room reveals” with her many followers.
She often collaborates with celebrity home organisers The Style Sisters, Gemma Lilly and Charlotte Reddington. Their other famous clients include Stacey Solomon, Vogue Williams, Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright, Rochelle and Marvin Humes and Alex Scott.
In one Instagram reel, shared by The Style Sisters, fans catch a glimpse inside Amanda’s huge hallway. Behind the grand black door lies stunning monochrome floor tiles, paired with a huge white staircase and a glossy black bannister.
You can also spot a beautiful grand piano leading into the house, with light pouring in from the large windows. Amanda has also shared before and after photos of her stunning dining room.
Before what Amanda described in her post as an “epic makeover,” the area previously had green walls and looked fairly plain in comparison to what it looks like now. The room has since been transformed with glamorous jungle décor.
The dark walls are offset with tropical, golden orange wallpaper with leopards and plants prints, which is also found on the ceiling. A beautiful gold chandelier now hangs above the 12-seated long table, which is decorated with gold place settings – perfect for hosting guests.
Downstairs, the monochrome theme continues on the ceiling and walls in what Amanda describes as her “multi-room” that comprises of different spaces. With sleek, grey storage and pink chairs, Amanda has also showed off her incredible vanity mirror.
In her advertised post on Instragram, she previously said: “I absolutely love my new downstairs office/glam room/playroom (multi room) & my gorgeous @hammonds_uk fitted furniture. Inspired by @martynbullard & @rupaulofficial.”
This isn’t Amanda’s only office space – as she has another upstairs. With the help of The Style Sisters, Amanda’s space transformed with fitted dark grey furniture from Hammonds.
The home office has lots of space, with a huge bookshelf and open shelves displaying many of Amanda’s possessions. But inside one the drawers, there is also a gift wrap station.
Amanda owns a lot of arts and craft supplied, but one drawer appears to have everything you’d need to wrap a gift for all occasions. Inside, the drawer is bursting with rolls of wrapping paper and colourful ribbons.
Elsewhere upstairs, Amanda has given fans a glimpse inside the different bedrooms. Continuing with a tropical theme and hints of pink and green, as seen elsewhere in the stunning property.
On Instagram, Amanda joked one spare room was “meant to be for her mum or Alan Carr when he’s a bit drunk”. On an Instagram reel, Amanda said: “You all know I have very eclectic taste.
“My whole house at the moment is like The Palm Royale or The Beverly Hills Hotel – which is my brief – so I have filled it with leafy wallpaper and big tropical plants and zebra stripes and monochrome.” When it came to this room, Amanda said she had ran out of inspiration, so made a Pinterest board which was given to friends, who created something “beyond her dreams.”
Amanda said she wanted it to feel “like a hotel room” and she now considers it “one of the best rooms in the house”. Inside, there are lovely stripy green curtains, green and pink boutique pillows, a gold, tassel chandelier and a stunning monochrome mirror and matching dressing table.
Another bedroom continues the glamorous feel of the house. Boasting different tones of pink and a stunning animal print rug from Wendy Morrison Design, Amanda can be seen relaxing in the room with her adorable dogs.
On a previous Instagram post, Amanda wrote: “Here is another room reveal from my own home. Our guest room. I know this is the stuff you guys enjoy.” Outside, Amanda continues to bring a touch of California to the UK.
Her garden not only has palm trees, but also a huge pool that looks like it belong in a high-end beach club abroad. Poolside, Amanda posed in a stunning golden gown in the summer time.
The pool is surrounded by large tiles and there is also tall trees to give provide shade and privacy for the family. The first episode of the latest series of Britain’s Got Talent airs this Saturday, February 23.
