Amanda Holden has been delivering some glamorous looks over the last few weeks as the Britain’s Got Talent final approaches. And while her gowns and sequins offer bold statements to dazzle on screen, her day job at Heart FM sees the radio presenter sport a much more relaxed but equally chic wardrobe .

This week, the 54-year-old was summer ready as she showed off her pins in a mini skirt and one-sleeved top . And now, fans can steal her style for less because I’ve found her exact outfit – and it’s on sale with 40% off.

Sharing her warm weather ensemble, Amanda told her 2.5 million Instagram followers: “Hello happy Monday can you believe the weather finally? It’s fantastic, so I decided to just wear one sleeve.”

The blouse in question is the Cotton Stripe Belted Woven One Shoulder Top from Karen Millen , which is currently £59.40 down from £99. The cotton fabric and one-sleeve design ensures breathability, making it ideal for the warmer weather, be it for family gatherings or outdoor brunches.

Coming in an eye-catching striped pattern, the belted waist cinches in the waist, creating a feminine silhouette that Karren Millen says is ‘both flattering and comfortable’. Perfect for daytime events, this versatile piece can be styled for a range of casual outings. Pair it with high-waisted trousers and flat sandals for a sophisticated lunch date, or team it with your favourite denim and trainers for a stylish weekend look.

Amanda styled it with the Stretch Denim Snaffle Trim Mini Skirt, also from Karen Millen. The skirt is made from a stretchy fabric which allows for ‘all day comfort’ with Amanda being a fan of the pockets and its length.

She said: “Hello happy Monday, can you believe the weather finally? It’s fantastic, so I decided to just wear one sleeve. This [skirt] reminds me of the 80s when I used to have little jean skirts. It’s that sort of midi length as well. I’m quite enjoying it. It’s got two flappy pockets disguised in there to put useful things. And this gorgeous blouse with one sleeve, super lovely, this could be like a day to evening thing.”

Originally £79, the skirt is down to £47.40 as part of the limited time deal, but some sizes have already sold out. Elsewhere, River Island has this Blue Denim Button Mini Skirt for £36 which has similar pocket detailing, but with a button front design with all sizes in stock.

Karen Millen is a brand that’s incredibly popular with the presenter, who has oftentimes been seen wearing outfits from the retailer. Back in February, the ITV star wore this blue Karen Millen frock with a pair of white pointed heels. While it’s usually priced at £159, the exact Karen Millen dress Amanda sported currently has a whopping 40% off at Debenhams. This discount means customers can now bag the item for £83.40 – a saving of £75.60.

But she doesn’t always opt for the higher-end high street names, and is known to be a fan of more affordable brands too. Earlier this year, Amanda offered the perfect inspiration when she showed off her elegant, all-grey outfit from River Island. The presenter’s Oversized Long Sleeve Shirt, £45, comes in regular or petite sizes, and matches these Grey Wide Pleat Front Trousers, also £45.

But if its her Karen Millen skirt and blouse combo you want to recreate in your own wardrobe, fashion fans can shop the look here.

Meghan Markle sends ‘bold message to world’ about Prince Harry marriage with repeated move

Meghan Markle enjoyed a ‘date night’ with Prince Harry, with the pair enjoying a night out at a Beyonce concert – and one expert believes Meghan’s Instagram post that followed was sending a clear message about her marriage

Meghan Markle sent a very telling message about her marriage to Prince Harry in her latest move shared online, according to an expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made few public appearances together in recent months as they concentrate on their differing career paths.

However, they were spotted letting their hair down as they enjoyed a Beyoncé concert together with friends in Los Angeles. And afterwards, Meghan uploaded a selection of videos and photos to Instagram, one of which showed her with Harry, who wore a hat that was inscribed with the words “Archie, Lili, My Love”.

Another clip showed them kissing as they enjoyed the concert, while a snap showed Meghan cuddling up to her husband as they posed for the camera. Accompanying the post, Meghan wrote: “About last night…. Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love.”

And according to body language expert Judi James, it appeared to be a calculated post by the Duchess. She told the Mirror : “This tidal wave of tactile gush from Meghan looks like a return to her celebrity past with a range of sexy, clinging, body con-clad poses that look straight from her TV series Suits.

“She’s treating Harry to the non-verbal version of the verbal gush she did during the recent podcast interview where she described him as a ‘Fox’ and pointed out that he loves her ‘so much’.

“Meghan embraces Harry with the encircling arms and pressed together heads that would define them to the world as a celebrity couple in love. It’s a pose Meghan has used frequently in the past, but Harry looks beaming and happy to be on the receiving end of it at this concert.

“He’s even wearing the hat with the children’s names on the brim, a nod to his family, which, although not quite as celebrity as the usual tattoos, comes close for a man who grew up in the more restrained royal family.

“Meghan appears to want to let the world know that she is very much in love with her ‘Fox’ of a husband, perhaps in an on-brand bid to quietly prove to fans that all that time spend making jam and baking for the family that she showed off in her series really does have a pay-off in terms of marital bliss.”

In 2023, Harry and Meghan were spotted at Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour. The year before, the couple appeared to be stunned when Meghan received a text from her in their Netflix docu-series Harry and Meghan.

The photos at the concert came just before Meghan took to Instagram yesterday to share an adorable picture of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in a sweet Mother’s Day post – and revealed her children have a special two-word nickname for her. Meghan celebrated Mother’s Day in the US with a new photo of her children jumping on her while facing palm trees on a fancy balcony.

She wrote on her Instagram post, saying: “Happy Mother’s Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy!” Meghan’s post gave fans a rare glimpse into her family life as she even shared the cute nickname Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have given their mum.

The post added: “And to these two gems – who still attempt to climb “mama mountain”, smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure….being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life. I, too, love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french fries in all the world.”

However, commenting on the clip, many of Katie’s fans said they were worried about her, with some claiming she looked ‘painfully thin’.

Another said: “I’m not trying to bodyshame but please remember you have young girls looking up to you and will think that how you look is the norm.”

Meanwhile, a third asked: “Is anyone helping her? She looks so uncomfortable and unhappy. You are too thin Katie!!! Lovely but way too thin x.”

The concerning clip comes after Katie admitted the last six years of her life have been “hell” as she opened up about her financial woes.

The OnlyFans star was declared bankrupt for the second time last year, owing a whopping £750,000, which forced her to downgrade her home and leave the Mucky Mansion.

Katie Price
Many thought the mum-of-five looked ‘painfully thin’

Thankfully, Katie revealed this year that she has cleared her debts as she opened up about ‘learning her lesson’ on a recent episode of The Katie Price Show.

Speaking to her sister, Sophie, she declared, proudly: “I’m not bankrupt anymore! I’m out of it, I’m out of both of them.

“The last six years have been hell – mentally and personally – everything has been hell. I’ve worked so hard to communicate and get rid of what caused all the trouble and I’m out of it.

“It’s such a nice feeling not to be bankrupt anymore. I’m in control of everything now.

“I realised that when you rely on people close to you that are supposed to be sorting out and they don’t, it puts you in s***.

“So now I’ve learnt my lesson. It’s good that I’ve gone through it and come out of the other end. It’s such a good feeling and a great achievement.”

Following the news, that she was cleared of bankruptcy, Katie, who recently finished a successful stint in panto in Pinocchio, said in March: “I am so happy. I can now move on and focus on good things. Thank you to everyone who supported me.”

Advising anyone with financial concerns to get proper legal advice, her lawyer added: “Katie did not fully understand bankruptcy before. But after getting help from experts, she followed all the rules and has now been discharged.”

Davina McCall meets girl, 11, fighting brain tumour just months after undergoing treatment

Masked Singer presenter Davina, 57, had an op to remove a brain tumour last year and shared her experience with little Kirsty Waugh as she battled the same condition

Telly star Davina McCall beams as she hugs an 11-year-old girl who is battling a brain tumour – just months after undergoing treatment herself.

The Masked Singer presenter, 57, met up with little Kirsty Waugh in her home, just months after undergoing surgery to remove her own tumour last year. Kirsty was diagnosed with a grade one benign brain tumour on 15 November 2024.

On the same day, star Davina posted a video to tell her followers that she had just had surgery to remove her own similar tumour. Noticing the coincidence, Kirsty’s parents Mat and Kate decided to see if they could get in contact with the presenter – who lives locally – to get a message for their daughter.

After getting in touch through a friend of a friend, the celebrity not only sent Kirsty a video message but organised to come to her home on Friday May 8. Mat, described Davina as funny and kind, saying that she chatted with the whole family for over an hour, including Kirsty’s older sisters Isla and Doris.

The 53-year-old said: “Davina had her brain tumour removed on the same day that Kirsty was admitted to hospital and diagnosed. She is local to us so I wondered if we could get a message from her. She is as lovely and warm and generous as you would hope. They talked a lot about their respective cancer treatment.

“It was a really uplifting experience. We all felt better for having spoken to her. She is a very funny woman so there was an enormous amount of laughter. And a lot of hugging. We have grown up seeing Davina on TV from Big Brother right through to The Masked Singer. It was like speaking to a friend that you know about but have just never met.”

Kirsty, from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, first noticed some symptoms around September last year when she began having trouble with her eyesight which the opticians couldn’t fix using lenses. Her parents then took her to the GP where she was signed up for some tests, but, while waiting for her appointment, she began having trouble with fatigue and memory loss.

On November 15, things took a turn for the worst and Kirsty started vomiting in the mornings – which urged her dad to rush her to hospital. Kirsty had an MRI and many tests, and later that day her dad received the devastating news that she had a tumour on her brain.

Looking back on the moment, Mat, who is a children’s author, said: “It was just me and her that day as her mum was away, and I just thought something didn’t feel right. They took me into a side room to tell me that she had a brain tumour. It was a very surreal time because she seemed absolutely fine on the outside. It was a bombshell day. It is like something has flattened everything you know and believe in.

“I was absolutely devastated. It was really hard to take in. It was so strange because we would be talking about this with a box of tissues and then I would have to wipe my face and go back to Kirsty who was absolutely fine on the outside.”

Kirsty then had a seven-hour operation the following Wednesday where they did an endoscopic exploration and took a little bit of the tumour away, but they were unable to access all of it. The schoolgirl, who will start grammar school in September, began chemotherapy the following week on a cycle of 70 weeks of treatment.

Now, the tumour has begun to shrink and in February her eyesight started to recover, along with her memory, which Mat says allowed her to read books and watch movies again. Kirsty has been tolerating treatment well but has aches and pains, vertigo, and her hair is thinning a bit.

However, she has remained positive the whole time, even naming her tumour Terry after her favourite character in the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Mat added: “We are really only at the beginning of a very long journey. But for now at least, we have got much of the girl back that we had in August 2024.

“As Davina said, benign doesn’t mean fine, because the tumour can cause all sorts of problems just by being there. When she got better we almost didn’t want to talk about it because it could go again. Nothing is permanent. But to see her pick up a book again was absolutely brilliant. You take all of that completely for granted until it’s gone.”

To give back to those who gave her great care, Kirsty is crocheting 70 bunting triangles, marking each week of her treatment, to raise money for Children with Cancer UK. So far, the campaign has raised over £21,000 for charity and the family have delivered leaflets about the work to thousands of homes across Kent.

Mat said: “She couldn’t see the end of the crochet hook, so she was just doing it based on touch. After her operation it was the first thing she wanted to pick up again. We are astonishingly proud of her, and how all three of them have reacted to this life changing news.”

Alexander-Arnold move won’t spoil title party – Van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk is confident Liverpool’s Premier League title celebrations will not be overshadowed by the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Liverpool-born right-back, 26, announced last week that he will leave when his contract expires at the end of June, and he is expected to join Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold played for the first time since confirming his impending exit when he appeared as a substitute in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Sunday and was booed by some supporters.

Captain Van Dijk, who said the team are “gutted” to be losing such an important player, said Alexander-Arnold “has to deal” with the negativity.

He also promised that Liverpool plan to celebrate their record-equalling 20th English top-flight title in style – ensuring Alexander-Arnold is part of the trophy lift celebrations at Anfield on Sunday, 25 May.

An open-top bus parade in the city will follow the next day.

“We want to win two more games and after the final whistle, including him [Alexander-Arnold], lift the trophy up and celebrate like we have never done before,” said the 33-year-old Netherlands international.

Sunday’s jeers were mixed with cheers from other supporters, with Alexander-Arnold’s team-mate of eight years, Andy Robertson, telling Sky Sports it was “not nice” to hear the boos.

Van Dijk, who signed a two-year contract last month, said all of the Liverpool players need to move on and focus on the final two games of the season.

“The [crowd] reaction happened,” Van Dijk said. “He has to deal with it. We as a team have to deal with that as well.

“I wasn’t really expecting something, to be honest, but I think maybe he expected this. It’s not easy, not at all. We’re here for him anyway.

“We are gutted that he’s not here with us next year because he’s a fantastic player with outstanding, exceptional qualities that we have seen over the last seven years.”

The Dutchman also insisted that his situation and that of top scorer Mohamed Salah, 32, who also recently signed a new two-year deal, could not be compared to Alexander-Arnold’s position.

“Everyone shares different opinions and he feels like he has done it all, and he did it, and he wants to try something different,” Van Dijk said.

“You are speaking about one of the biggest clubs of all in Real Madrid, who he might go to as I read in the media.

“I was sorting my own stuff out. I had to secure my future as well and I was quite busy doing that.

Ancelotti to leave Real Madrid to coach Brazil

  • 207 Comments

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti will leave the Spanish club at the end of the season to become the new national team coach of Brazil.

The 65-year-old Italian will officially take charge of Brazil on 26 May following the conclusion of the La Liga season.

He leaves the Santiago Bernabeu as one of the club’s most successful managers.

Ancelotti won 15 trophies across two spells as Real manager and last season led Los Blancos to a Champions League and La Liga double.

However, his exit from Real comes after Sunday’s El Clasico defeat left Real seven points behind leaders Barcelona with three games remaining.

A statement from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said Ancelotti was a “legend of the game” and acknowledged the significance of a foreign coach taking charge of the team.

“This landmark moment sees the coming together of two icons — the only five-time Fifa World Cup champions, and a coach with an unmatched record across Europe’s elite competitions,” the CBF said.

“The CBF warmly welcomes Mr Ancelotti and looks forward to a new era of success under his leadership.”

In their statement, the CBF thanked Real president Florentino Perez for “facilitating the coach’s release during his contract term” and also acknowledged Brazilian businessman Diego Fernandes for his role in the deal.

Ancelotti’s current deal with Real was set to expire in June 2026.

The Italian takes over the Brazil job from Dorival Junior, who was sacked in March after they lost 4-1 to arch-rivals Argentina in World Cup qualifying.

Brazil sit fourth in the South American group, having lost five of 14 games, although are still well placed to qualify for the 2026 finals.

Ancelotti’s first games in charge of Brazil will be the Selecao’s World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Ecuador next month.

Brazil have not won the World Cup since 2002 and the last time they were Copa America champions was in 2019.

During a 30-year managerial career Ancelotti has been in charge of some of the giants of European football, including Juventus, AC Milan, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich.

He has won league titles in Italy, Spain, France, Germany and England.

Former Real, Liverpool and Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso, 43, is set to replace Ancelotti in the Bernabeu hot seat.
