They have been touring the country holding auditions for the next season of Britain’s Got Talent

And Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon continued their style parade as they marked their first day of auditions in Manchester, hitting the red carpet alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell and David Walliams, as well as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. 

Amanda, 48, looked sensational as she stepped out in a vibrant Victoriana style gown that sheathed her lithe figure, while Alesha, 41, oozed sartorial chic in a loose blue suit.

The eye-catching garment featured a high neckline adorned with ruffles, and cinched in at her tiny waist to highlight her hourglass physique. 

Flaring out into a calf length skirt with a peplum hem, the gown offered a glimpse at her tanned and toned pins, which had been boosted with a pair of patent white heels. 

Amanda completed the look by donning pair of oversized square rimmed sunglasses, whilst her glossy golden locks were swept back into a chic high ponytail.

This marked the first day the BGT auditions headed to Manchester, with further rounds set to take place on Thursday, Friday and Sunday, with the final auditions set to take place on Monday 10th February.

The show will return to screens after BGT: The Champions aired in the autumn, which saw contestants from international versions of the show compete to be crowned the ultimate winner.

It comes after Simon revealed the secret to his 20lb weight loss is cutting out red meat and drinking light beer instead of regular beer.

The music mogul told The Sun: ‘You can drink this light beer but you’ve got to be sensible about quantities. I have loads more energy and feel great. 

‘All I do is avoid just red meat – white meat is fine – and I eat loads of vegetables, salads and drink this great beer.

‘The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think wow. I used to be 36 inch waist and now I’ve lost four inches. I’m really happy now.’
