The Britain's Got Talent judge, 51, transformed into one of the eponymous heroes from the French adventure novel The Three Musketeers, written by Alexandre Dumas. Amanda wowed her fans in a cheeky video, which saw her "swashbuckling and slaying" down the corridor of the Heart Breakfast studios ahead of presenting her radio show with Jamie Theakston. Arriving in a slinky red dress and matching heels, Amanda seamlessly transitioned into her costume – and it was epic.

The faux corseted dress also featured mesh epaulettes for added authenticity, and Amanda finished off the look with a wide-brimmed hat. But it was her boots that really caught our eyes!

World Book Day is an annual charity event that aims to give every child in full-time education in the UK and Ireland access to literature. They are given a voucher to spend on books and encouraged to dress up as their favourite characters.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of World Book Day and the theme is simple - "You are a reader."
