TV star Amanda Holden sparked a major fan reaction on Sunday when she shared a striking bikini photo in honour of her 54th birthday.
In a post shared to Instagram, the Britain's Got Talent judge uploaded a glamorous picture of herself soaking up the sun's rays while running her hands through her hair. Embracing the luminous sunlight, Amanda could be seen rocking a stylish black string bikini complete with gold hardware.

In her caption, she simply penned "54" followed by a red heart emoji.

Fellow TV star Davina McCall penned: "This is how you celebrate a birthday you absolute rock star. Congratulations on being so totally boss," while a second follower noted: "YES my girl," and a third chimed in: "54 never looked better. Happy Birthday gorgeous."
The mother-of-two is unapologetic when it comes to her sartorial choices and public image. The refreshingly candid star previously told Women's Health magazine: "I hate it when there's an age put on fashion – the idea that you can't get your knees or your arms out if you're a certain age," Amanda told the publication.
"I don't think like that. I dress for myself and other women, and I really try to encourage self-confidence. You can often change how you feel by feeling good in what you're wearing – it's like armour, isn't it?"

When she's not busy presenting on the TV and radio, Amanda unwinds with her record producer husband Chris Hughes and their two daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13. The family-of-four live in a sprawling home in Surrey which they've recently upgraded with stunning interiors.
