Amanda Holden looked incredible in a baby blue bikini as she lounged on an inflatable sunbed while revealing how she stays cool in the summer with her pets.
The television and radio personality, 55, was filming a dog food advert with her beloved pooches, Rudie, Minnie and Dolly, which she shared on her Instagram.
Amanda looked glamorous in her two-piece swimwear, sipping on a spritz as one of her dogs jumped on the float to join her.
The mother of two revealed she gets through the summer by hanging out in the garden pool, while her pets enjoy water toys to keep them cool. She also revealed she keeps them healthy with a brand of wet food called Barking and Meowing Heads, which gives them extra hydration in the summer months.
Romantic snap with Chris Hughes
The clip comes after Amanda showcased her appearance as she posed for a rare romantic photo with her husband, Chris Hughes, on Sunday. She has been spending quiet downtime with her family in Corfu before her friends fly out to join them and start the party.
Amanda has been married to Chris Hughes for 18 years, having met him five years earlier in Los Angeles. The couple share two daughters, Alexa, 20, and Hollie, 14.
In the Instagram photo, Amanda wore a khaki green lace slip dress while Chris wore a white linen shirt. Fans praised her appearance in the comments, with one writing, "You look gorg." Others added, "What a gorgeous photo," "What a perfect couple" and "You guys look gorge."
Diet and fitness routine
Amanda is never afraid to strip off for a sizzling snap, and she recently revealed the work that goes into ensuring she is always camera ready. Speaking to the Daily Mail, she explained that she follows Elizabeth Hurley's diet advice of one good meal a day, indulging in an egg white omelette with spinach, feta and avocado with a green juice for breakfast, and then not eating again until the evening.
"I'm a vegetarian, so I think I'm probably accidentally pretty healthy," she mused. "But I do love my food and I love my alcohol, especially an Aperol Spritz in this weather!"
Insisting she allows herself the odd indulgence, she continued: "I applaud whatever works for anybody else, but I can't be one of those people that cuts stuff out. I just think life is tricky as it is, so just let yourself have what you want within good reason. A little bit of everything is good."
Revealing the key to nailing her bikini poses, she confessed: "I breathe in! I think as women you naturally breathe in, it's inherent. But there's no like trickery or anything. My mum's pretty slim, my nan is, my sister is, so I feel like it's genetic, and I just love getting on my Peloton!"
She explained she loves getting on the bike at home two or three times a week because it doesn't matter what the weather is, and she can easily fit it around her life.
Dealing with online trolls
While Amanda is often showered with praise for her snaps, she is not immune to trolling. She insisted that she isn't bothered by any negativity, explaining: "I always say, 'I'm never knowingly understated' is what will go on my tombstone. I don't have any time for people who have negative comments, I just don't scroll down."
"If I see anything bad on Instagram I sort of weigh it up. Do I want to block them? Am I amused? Is it saucy? I understand people have different ways of coping with things, but I'm of the mindset that if you're putting yourself out there, you have to take the rough with the smooth. That is very sadly our industry and you build a tougher skin from it, and I'm like, do you know what, come and say it to my face and let's see how you get on!"
On how she finds the confidence to face the world every day, she mused: "I've always said my makeup is my armour. You will never catch me without a lash and a bit of lip gloss. I'm mostly always wearing sunglasses as well, because if you are having an off day you just put on a pair of shades and you're a winner straight away."
