Age-defying Amanda Holden has wowed fans again with her latest bikini pics as she strutted her stuff in Majorca – days after receiving more Ofcom complaints

Amanda Holden sent fans wild as she stripped down to a tiny pink bikini in her latest social media video. The 54-year-old Britain’s Got Talent judge donned matching pink heels to strut around a swimming pool on the Spanish holiday island of Majorca.

Looking more like she was walking down a catwalk, the age-defying broadcaster and actress looked tanned and toned as her long blonde hair billowed behind her in the short clip, as Calvin Harris’ latest track Blessings played over the top.

In the caption, Amanda revealed she was in Majorca to film an ad campaign for Revive Collagen. She wrote: “Shooting a new campaign for @revivecollagen #mallorca,” before revealing her bikini was by swimwear brand Melissa Odabash, which is loved by celebrities.

And fans couldn’t quite believe what they were seeing, as one wrote in the comments: “Imagine being in your 50’s and looking that good in a bikini,” as another replied: “Right?” As many more posted heart and flame emojis, a third said: “Looking fabulous!!!” A fourth declared her “perfection”, as a fifth commented “what a body.” A sixth joked: “Look amazing, wish I could walk in those shoes!”

Her celebrity pals were equally in awe. Ex-EastEnders’ star Jo Joyner wrote: “You’re ridiculously hot” followed by a flame emoji. “There she is,” said former The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers. Vicky Pattinson simply wrote: “AMANDA!!!!” with four flame emojis. While her Heart FM co-star, former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts commented: “Jheeez.”

It comes days after Amanda went ‘naked’ during her radio show following yet more Ofcom complaints about her outfits on Britain’s Got Talent. Her appearance even made her co-host Jamie Theakston do a double take.

As she sat in her DJ chair on Thursday morning, Amanda said on air: “Good morning, Mr Theakston. It is 6.30am and I’ve just caught myself on the camera and don’t you think I look naked this morning? Sat behind here?” Jamie replied: “Do you know what… you are wearing clothes, aren’t you?”

But though it looked like she might not be, Amanda was in fact just wearing a pink strapless dress which wasn’t visible behind her monitor. Joking about her choice of outfit for the day, Amanda said: “I just looked [at myself] and went, ‘What? Have I forgotten to put my clothes on?'”

Amanda’s BGT finale dress, which looked almost bridal in a white silk fabric with a low cut front, wasn’t a hit with some viewers at home who complained that both her and co-star Alesha Dixon’s frocks were “too revealing for a family show”. Ofcom revealed they’d received 72 complaints in total.

But thought she is regularly under fire for her risque outfits, Amanda has vowed to never tone down her fashion choices. In July 2017, Amanda wore a plunging see-through Julien Macdonald dress, which went on to be the most complained about TV moment of the year.

She’s previously revealed how all her outfits are checked before she goes on stage and joked there’s an even a ‘t*t committee’ who tell her whether she’s alright to wear a dress or not.

“There’s a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air,” she shared. “There’s a t*t committee. There are so many brilliant people, they come down, knock on the door and there’s the lady, who’s the producer, who says, ‘Mandy, it looks great’.”

In another interview, Amanda told Closer magazine: “I’m always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I’m never worried. I think people should have fun with fashion!”

On her most complained about dress, she added: “It’s all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about. It’s been called another national ­crisis – but, oh no, I will not be covered up.”

Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo have shared an emotional career move as they rebrand their famous podcast from NewlyWeds to NearlyParents, just days after announcing pregnancy

Made In Chelsea’s Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo have announced they will be rebranding their podcast in an emotional video after announcing their pregnancy earlier in the week. Jamie, 36, and Sophie, 30, shared the news about their pregnancy in a sweet social media post on Tuesday.

The couple started their first podcast NearlyWeds when they were planning their wedding in 2022. The podcast then evolved to NewlyWeds in 2023 before they announced they were taking a break in May 2025.

After leaving fans in suspense for the past few weeks, they have now announced their latest rebrand. NewlyParents is being described as their ‘new chapter’ and fans don’t have to wait long as the podcast will be back on Monday, 9 June.

To announce their new career move, the reality favourites shared an emotional video where they are seen looking back at some of the most memorable moments from their relationship. Including reflecting on their Made In Chelsea days, and reading their wedding speeches.

Fans were delighted with the news as one person commented: “I am so excited for this you have no idea, you guys are going to be the best parents. I can’t wait to come along on your journey”, while another said: “Huge congratulations. This is beautiful”.

The couple, who have also recently started working together on BBC Radio 1, shared their pregnancy news with an emotional video where they see their baby on an ultrasound scan. They captioned the video with a simple red heart.

As the baby pops up on the screen in the clip, Jamie excitedly says: “Are you kidding me”. Jamie pans the camera around the room onto Sophie, who has the biggest smile on her face as the couple hears the baby’s heartbeat.

Sophie has replaced Vick Hope on the Going Home show, which runs from Monday to Thursday between 3.30 pm and 6 pm. Vick, who is expecting her first child with husband Calvin Harris, has left the station to go on maternity leave.

Jamie shared the news on his Instagram account, joking about them being the first married couple presenting. He said: “I’m so excited to be joining the Radio 1 family… Turns out we’re the first ever Married couple to do it together, soooo I’m not too sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing – hopefully we don’t argue on the Radio! Get ready for the chaos – Catch you on Monday.”

Their journey began on the reality series Made in Chelsea, where the public was able to watch their love blossom. After dating for several years, Jamie got down on one knee at the Rosewood London hotel in December 2021, where he and Sophie shared their first ever date, and popped the question.

The couple are also currently renovating their first home together in London. They are once again allowing fans to follow their journey through their vlogs, which they upload to YouTube.

It’s been over three decades since Four Weddings and a Funeral was released on the big screen, and the Richard Curtis rom-com still holds a special place in the hearts of audiences everywhere

For over thirty years, Four Weddings and a Funeral has shown that a film with a lot of heart can go a long way. Despite being one of the most beloved romantic comedies out there, and helping catapult some of its stars to new levels of fame, it was actually a really low-budget project.

It cost only £3 million to make – which might sound like a lot, but in Hollywood terms is as cheap as chips – and was shot over just six weeks.

But despite being a small movie, Four Weddings is still one of the British public’s favourite rom-coms after all these years, and it cemented Hugh Grant as a household name in the UK, along with his girlfriend Liz Hurley.

Her stunning and risque Versace dress – the barely-there piece was held together with safety pins – captured serious attention at the Four Weddings premiere, and has become an iconic moment in fashion history.

The movie’s producer, Duncan Kenworthy, remembered discussing what Liz might wear when going for lunch with her and Hugh the week before the premiere, “Liz said, ‘I have absolutely no idea at this point’,” he said, adding that “With every piece about Liz came a mention of the film, so it was great publicity. The premiere was an extraordinary event.”

After the film’s release on March 11, 1994, even the movie’s theme song – Love is All Around by Wet, Wet, Wet – found major success, and spent 15 weeks at the top of the charts.

Pretty much every character in the film has become totally beloved by audiences, from the floppy-haired Charles as lead, to his quirky flatmate Scarlet, and the laugh-a-minute, over-the-top Gareth.

Duncan, 73, has said that they were totally consumed by their “little film” during the two years production took and that due to issues finding finance for the film, “We were making it for a long time in our heads before we actually made it in reality”.

However, even though they were working on a budget, everyone around them really believed that Four Weddings would go the distance.

“I remember sitting and watching the Oscars on telly with friends the year before we made Four Weddings and they all said, ‘You’ll be there next year’ and laughed,” Duncan explained.

“Literally a year later, there I was, at the Oscars, with a Best Picture nomination. It was unthinkable, really. In those days there were only five nominees for best picture at the Oscars. It shows what a big impact the film made – not just with the public but within the film world, too.”

Despite its popularity, Four Weddings and a Funeral didn’t take home Best Picture, but to be fair, they faced some pretty stiff competition that year, with other nominees in 1995 including Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, and Forrest Gump – with the latter taking home the statue.

Four Weddings did manage to score a host of BAFTAs, however, for its depiction of Hugh Grant as the slightly-hopeless Charles attending a series of landmark occasions in his loved one’s lives – and falling in love with American socialite, Carrie – played by Andie MacDowell.

Casting the film presented the production team with a few challenges, particularly when it came to the lead role of Charles. Whilst it might seem impossible to imagine anyone else playing him now, Richard Curtis is said to have had more than few doubts about his ability to carry the role.

Over 70 people were auditioned for the role, but in the end it came down to Hugh Grant and one other choice.

“It sounds odd now but the other actor in the frame was Alan Rickman, who’d really cut through in the Robin Hood movie. Mike, Richard and I simply couldn’t agree which of them to cast, so we voted in secret,” Duncan explained.

“We were an odd number, and it came out 2 to 1 in favour of Hugh Grant. It’s a cause of enormous delight to me that it was Richard who nearly ended Hugh’s romcom career before it even started.”

Hugh Grant has also revealed that Richard Curtis definitely was not a fan of him during the auditioning process, saying “[My audition] was in front of Mike Newell, the director, who seemed to quite like me, and Richard Curtis, who seemed to want me dead. He really hated me. Apparently there was a bit of a fight between them…. and Richard didn’t want me at all.”

The actor also revealed that before the movie’s release, he thought it would be a total flop, and he said as much to his friend Sam Neil over dinner one night. Later, Hugh said about his initial impression of the rom-com “I was clearly wrong and the film changed my life. It was the beginning of a happy friendship with Richard Curtis, and I’ve always had the greatest respect for Mike Newell who taught me things I use to this day.”

Despite the rocky start to Richard’s impression of Hugh, the pair went on to make two other iconic rom-coms together, Notting Hill and Love Actually, so the actor obviously convinced him eventually that he had it in him.

Finding someone to play Carrie also presented some challenges, Duncan explained, and after an extensive auditioning process in the US, they offered the role to two actresses – both of whom turned it down.

Back in the UK, they heard on the grapevine that established actress Andie MacDowell was in town, and quickly arranged a meeting, “We found out Andie MacDowell was staying at The Dorchester, so Mike and I arranged to meet her in the bar. As soon as we met her, Mike knew she was the one,” the producer said.

And it was Andie who would end up delivering probably the film’s most famous – and cheesy – line after Hugh Grant’s character declared his undying love for her as the pair stood in the pouring rain. “Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed,” Carrie deadpans, a delivery that Duncan thinks in hindsight might have missed the mark.

“Of course Carrie knows it’s raining! She’s drenched, he’s drenched. She means it ironically,” he explained. “If Andie had said it with a smile, no one would have mentioned it!”

Four Weddings and a Funeral is packed with laughs – and at the funeral of Gareth more than a few tears – and it’s popularity is such that it has even born a TV show. Created by Mindy Kaling, the show over ten episodes followed the framework of the film – but it didn’t resonate with the public in the same way the film had.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ legal team have requested a mistrial of his case as he currently remains on trial for charges including racketeering and sex trafficking by force

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ legal team have requested a mistrial after the end of week three’s proceedings.

The music mogul, 55, is currently on trial in New York after pleading not guilty to charges including racketeering and sex trafficking by force. Now, his lawyers have made a second attempt to have proceedings declared invalid, claiming “prosecutorial misconduct”.

In a letter sent to Judge Arun Subramanian on Saturday, June 7, the defence allege “the government has presented testimony that it knew or should have known was materially false related to its allegation that Mr. Combs dangled Bryana Bongolan from the balcony of Cassie Ventura’s apartment in September 2016.”

The note, which was seen by PEOPLE, went on: “Accordingly, to avoid an unfair conviction in this case the Court should grant a mistrial.”

The Bad Boy Records founder’s team also argued his ex-girlfriend Cassie’s testimony, in which she claimed to have witnessed the musician dangle Bryana from a balcony, was “demonstrably false”. They said this was due to text messages allegedly showing she only learned of the supposed incident afterwards.

The letter continued to argue: “The incident, as alleged, is disturbing and powerful evidence, and the government has used it to depict Mr. Combs in an extremely negative light, as an angry and dangerous man who terrified Ms. Ventura and her friends.”

The lawyers also argued the prosecution presented photos of Bryana’s alleged injuries from the incident, which were said to have been taken on 26 September 2016 in Los Angeles, even though “the government has long known” Combs was in New York City between 24-29 September that year.

The defence also claimed the prosecution “repeatedly attempted to disrupt” their line of questioning when they tried to “expose the perjury upon cross-examination.”

“All of this was highly improper and exacerbated the harm caused by […] the perjured testimony,” the letter continued. “The balcony incident is just one example of prosecutorial misconduct during this trial.”

At the end of May Combs’ lawyers requested a mistrial after prosecutors asked Lance Jiminez, an arson investigator from the Los Angeles Fire Department, if fingerprint evidence related to the bombing of Kid Cudi’s car had been destroyed and who could have authorised the decision.

At the time, the rapper’s lawyers argued the line of questioning could potentially hint that their client was able to buy his way out of trouble. However, the judge denied this appeal and said the questions were not prejudicial to the case.

The case is set to continue on Monday. Combs’ ex, who took to the stand under a pseudonym, is continuing with her testimony.

The case is expected to last six weeks.

After Justin Bieber shared an Instagram post with a cryptic caption about ‘transactional relationships’, some of his fans urged him to seek help as they expressed concern for him

Justin Bieber’s fans have expressed their concern for the singer after he admitted that he is “tired of transactional relationships” in a new post on social media. The Baby singer shared a series of statements on Instagram today, including a cryptic caption alongside two black-and-white selfies.

He wrote: “Tired of transactional relationships. If I have to do something to be loved, that’s not love.” Amid his posting spree on Instagram, the Peaches hitmaker also shared a video of controversial singer Chris Brown.

In the footage shared on Justin’s Instagram Stories, Chris can be seen dancing and randomly yelling. Brown, who was released from a UK prison on bail last month, is set to perform in Amsterdam this evening. Justin captioned the video of Brown with the word “mood”.

The father-of-one, who shares little Jack Blues with his wife Hailey Bieber, also seemed to reflect on his emotional exhaustion in an additional post – and many of his followers took to the comment section to express concern. “Someone needs to do a wellness check. He is NOT OK,” one wrote.

Someone else described Justin as “the Britney Spears of our generation” while a fan assured him: “You are loved by us, the real beliebers.” One more urged Justin to “get help” saying: “Bro stop posting and get help I’m serious.”

One reflected: “Love is transactional, that’s the point, that’s real love. Love is not supposed to be unconditional, unless it’s your child. You can’t love someone who doesn’t give you anything to love them for. This post sounds like it’s coming from a 20-year-old, not from someone who is in their 30s with a wife and kid.”

A fan added: “Your son loves you unconditionally. He doesn’t know you’re THE Justin Bieber! He just knows you as Dad, and for him that’s enough!” Someone else defended Justin by saying: “To the people in the comments being negative: Justin has been venting and sharing his feelings on his social media for years now.

“It’s really honorable to see a person of his caliber be so open with his thoughts. It takes a strong person to admit to the world that some days are harder than others. Stop shaming him for sharing. He’s a raw and vulnerable human who goes through the motions like the rest of us. Let him share and be real. It makes him admirable.”

Sharing more reflections on his Instagram Stories, Justin also addressed the pressure he has felt during his careers when he was urged to work harder. He said: “I don’t think any of us can handle hearing, ‘You just gotta try a little harder and you will be like me.’ It’s not true. I listened to those fools who told me to work harder. And there’s no end to trying to earn ur spot in this life because I tried.” He added: “U have everything u need right now.”

In another recent post, he wrote: “U could point at my flaws. Or u could recognize ur own lil b****,” before adding a red droplet emoji. But this admission also caused concern among fans as one said: “So hard and sad to watch. Why are the people around him not helping him when he’s clearly struggling. He’s not clear at all and hurting.”

Some of his followers have also urged Justin to take a break from social media due to his lengthy rants. In an Instagram post this week, over a pink background, he shared with his followers: “Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else’s kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn’t have.

“The audacity. That’s not your place. God decides what we deserve.” One fan commented: “God told me you need a social media break,” – and over 21,000 people liked the comment.

Celebrity Big Brother couple Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa still look to be going strong as they gushed about each other in their latest loved-up video

Chris Hughes’ romance with Celebrity Big brother star JoJo Siwa is hotting up even more – as the former Love Island star told her: “You blow my mind every day.” The 32-year-old made the declaration in a video posted to 22-year-old’s JoJo’s Instagram stories.

As she shouted out various pals to mark ‘National Best Friend’s Day’, she ended with a clip of her and new boyfriend Chris and captioned the post: “My bestest friend of em all” followed by a white love heart emoji.

As JoJo shared more loved up snaps of her and Chris, the pair were seen kissing and cuddling. It comes just a day after JoJo posted a series of snaps from their couples’ getaway to the Cotswolds as the pair reunited in the UK to spend some time with Chris’ family.

The pair were seen messing around visiting horses, with one shot showing Chris pick up JoJo and carry her over his shoulder. In another, the pair sweetly held hands. The duo were also seen enjoying cooked breakfasts, sweet treats and dinners as they continued their blossoming relationship. JoJo captioned the post: “Nothing beats wholesome and pure days like these.”

The Dance Moms star captioned each of her 11 images on her Instagram upload, explaining how the occasion was the first time she had touched a horse since being thrown off one eight years ago during filming. On one snap of Chris riding a horse, she wrote: “Gorgeous boy riding a gorgeous horse.”

Revealing how the trip had helped her get over her fear of horses, JoJo said: “I’ve been scared to be around them haha. Loved this though after I warmed up.”

In her final picture, JoJo zoomed in on the couple holding each other’s hand. She adorably wrote: “The one thing that can make everything better,” alongside a white heart emoji.

Chris’ brother Ben was among those sharing sweet responses to the photo dump in the comments section – and it seems JoJo is a hit with Chris’ family. He joked: “Can I take credit for the full English breakfast?? Miss you already!!!”

Showing how serious things are getting between them, JoJo recently revealed how she wants to get matching tattoos with Chris as she wants their romance to “last for a lifetime”.

What started as a close friendship between the pair started to raise eyebrows as the duo got up close and personal on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother, frequently kissing on the cheek and even cuddling in the same bed – and JoJo has now confirmed the pair are officially more than friends.

Speaking on the Rosebud podcast with Gyles Brandreth, JoJo gushed about what initially drew her to Chris, saying: “When he first walked in, he was the only person that I knew what they looked like before coming into the show. I was, ‘Oh that’s the Chris guy’. Initially the first thing that I took in about him was he was a good hugger. I liked his hug. That felt like a nice embrace. And he smelt good.”

Explaining how their feelings naturally deepened over time, she shared: “We just kind of bonded right away and it started very much so as friends. I wasn’t looking to fall for him. He wasn’t looking to fall for me. We just were having so much fun together.” She even admitted she is considering moving to the UK permanently to be with Chris. “I want Chris to last for a lifetime,” she gushed.

Revealing her ‘Chris tattoo’ plans, JoJo added: “The Chris tattoo, I said in Big Brother, that I would get this bamboo stick… and I want to get two other tattoos from the Big Brother house of memories that I have from in there.”

While it’s seen as unlucky to get a tattoo of a new partner in case the relationship goes wrong and you are stuck with a daily reminder of them, JoJo is hoping to bypass any consequences by making sure the tattoo is primarily a reminder of her Celeb Big Brother experience.

Some fans have questioned whether the relationship is just a PR stunt, but JoJo recently shut those rumours down, telling The Guardian: “It’s not platonic any more… I’m absolutely head over heels for him, and he’s the same way. Clearly, [the trolls have] never been around us. The happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now.”
