Amanda Holden looks incredible in a plunging swimsuit as she larks around with Alan Carr in Corfu
Amanda Holden put her incredible figure on display in a plunging swimsuit on Tuesday as she enjoyed her time in Corfu with Alan Carr. The duo have been living it up in Greece while filming their BBC renovation series, which has been renamed Amanda and Alan's Greek Job following their similar shows in Spain and Italy. Yet the pair managed to squeeze in time between building work to hit the pool, with the pair filming a funny video lip-syching to Jhené Aiko's song, Sing To Me. In the clip, Amanda, 54, wowed in a zip up tangerine one-piece as she cradled Alan, who was wrapped in a towel, 49. She also slipped into a white broderie anglaise summer dress as she headed out for walk with her co-star. Alan also took to Instagram, sharing a selfie as he celebrated his 49th birthday. He looked unrecognsiable in the snap, with his signature smile replaced and with jet black hair. Yet he admitted he had Photoshopped the image, then sharing another picture of the face superimposed over a nude image of Elizabeth Hurley. He captioned the post: 'For those saying the last photo was photoshopped - here's a full body one!' Amanda and Alan have been jetting back and forth to Greece to film their series, after the Heart Radio host criticised the series' name, their travel arrangements and suggested their next show should be shown on Netflix instead. The mother-of-two no doubt shocked bosses as she took a cheeky swipe at her show with the BBC and complained about 'urine soaked dressing room floors'. As they discussed the show on Alan's travel podcast, Alan recalled: 'Do you remember we had to wee in behind bins and sh*** like that? I'm dreading it.' Amanda recalled: 'I have a pile of clothes on me at the back. I've got all of Alan's shirts, like 15 dresses I'll change into, three hats lined up on the back.' She continued: 'And then we get out and I get changed in loos where there's like wee on the floor, beach huts. That's behind the scenes.' Alan added: 'But the thing is people don't understand there's no... The toilets aren't working when we get have to go and use someone's toilet or a portaloo.' Amanda agreed: 'We have to beg for... I mean, how many umbrellas have you put up over various countries when I've had to wee behind them? 'You'll notice that there's hundreds of costume changes for us as well. So we travel, for some reason, the company that we do it with, always hire the smallest cars. 'And I'm in the back with Christian, who does our hair and make up. You're in the front doing the music selection.' After admitted they didn't like the name of their new series either, Alan suggested it should be called My Big Fat Greek Renovation. While Amanda confessed: 'It's not good. Well, we should argue with the BBC about that.' 'But I've always wanted to visit Japan. It's like the place to go. I want to go in the spring,' she added. 'And I just think maybe Alan, we should just go to Netflix with our next show, Big in Japan with Amanda and Alan. Yeah. Love it. That idea is with them.'

'You know how you always get one kid that's like, and he was like bouncing and shoving, and anyway, Holly was scared because he was all over the place with no parents. And I went, she said, Mommy, I'm getting off. 'I said, "Holly, wait for Mommy. Wait for Mommy". She jumped off. And as I jumped off, I twisted my ankle and I did a double break. 'And I swam back to shore, and Chris was on the shore, and I was going like that. And he was going, "did you have a lovely time?" 'And I was going, "I think I broke my leg." It was flapping around. That hotel got me out sharpish in a taxi. Because I had broken my leg on their property, basically. 'They wanted me to Keep stum. Anyway, that's another there's claim there's a blame.'
