Amanda Holden beamed from ear to ear as she arrived at the Britain’s Got Talent auditions at the Manchester Lowry on Friday. 

The talent show judge, 52, posed up a storm as in a form-fitting black midi dress, patterned with an array of blue flowers. 

Showcasing her slim physique, she also flaunted her ample cleavage in the plunging gown, while she added a few inches to her height with some simple black heels. 

Wrapping up from the cold, Amanda draped her light blue coat around her shoulders after arriving at the event in her signature sunglasses. 

The star was joined by her fellow judges Alesha Dixon, Simon Cowell and Bruno Tonioli, while host Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly followed close behind.

It comes after Simon was forced to pull out of filming due to illness.

The music mogul was pictured arriving to film a previous round of auditions in Manchester on Tuesday, after a crippling headache left him too unwell to work.

Heading into the The Lowry, Simon flashed a thumbs up while sporting one of his signature all-black ensembles.

While he was previously seen sporting a pair of tinted ‘blue light filter’ glasses, which are believed to help prevent migraines, this time he’d swapped them for a pair of his signature aviators.

After Simon’s health scare, a source close to the star told PEOPLE he’s in ‘fantastic health,’ adding: ‘He’s better than ever and great fitness too, is biking and walking a lot every day and has started reformer Pilates for strengthening his back.

‘All his friends are telling him to bring out a range of his own light-filtering glasses now to help others.’ 

They went onto say that Simon is ‘prone to migraines’ due to being under the ‘bright studio lights’ and his light-filtering glasses can help ease this. 

It was reported on Saturday that Simon was forced to pull out of BGT filming after developing the crippling headache.

A source told the Daily Star: ‘Simon was due to film as normal but he started to feel unwell.

‘After some deliberation, he told everyone he was unable to take part in filming.

‘To say he was frustrated was an understatement. Simon loves making Britain’s Got Talent, so he was annoyed that he had to miss filming.’

Simon missed a small number of evening auditions after his headache came on and he left the tryouts early before returning for the next run in Manchester as planned. 

Simon and his fellow Britain’s Got Talent judges, returned to filming for the upcoming series last month.
