Amanda Holden, 55, commanded attention on Monday as she left the Heart FM studios in Central London.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge stepped out in a daring ensemble, turning the city streets into her runway.

Opting for a black sweater that left little to the imagination, Amanda went braless and paired it with a studded leather mini skirt.

She completed the look with black tights and a striking pair of £700 Christian Louboutin heels, effortlessly exuding glamour.

Shielding her eyes with stylish sunglasses, Amanda draped a long wool coat over her shoulders as she made her way home after her early breakfast show shift.

BGT Faces Record Low Ratings Amid Rumors of Cancellation

While Amanda was making headlines for her style, Britain’s Got Talent itself hit a new low in viewer numbers this past weekend.

Once pulling in massive audiences of around 10 million, the show’s recent launch drew just 3 million viewers, marking the lowest debut in its nearly 20-year history.

Saturday’s second episode continued the downward trend, losing another 100,000 viewers despite featuring KSI awarding the Golden Buzzer to a 16-year-old musical magician.

The decline meant BGT was overtaken in ratings by BBC’s Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, which attracted 3.5 million viewers, while Gladiators also drew 3 million.

ITV Defends the Show’s Digital Performance

ITV responded to the ratings drop by highlighting the show’s online reach.

A spokesperson revealed that by Sunday morning, content from the latest episode had generated 14.5 million views online, with Rafferty Coope alone accounting for 7.8 million.

Despite the digital engagement, bookmakers are starting to factor in the declining audience.

Nicola McGeady from Ladbrokes commented, “Gone are the days when Britain’s Got Talent was raking in mammoth viewing figures.

As the numbers fall, so do the odds, and we are now questioning the show’s future.” The odds of BGT being axed after this season are currently 2/1.

Simon Cowell’s Boyband December 10 Gears Up for First Headline Show

Meanwhile, Simon Cowell’s boyband, December 10, is set to play their biggest show yet.

The seven-piece group, formed on Cowell’s Netflix series last year, will perform at the iconic O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Wednesday, April 8.

Members Cruz Lee-Ojo, Danny Bretherton, Hendrik Christoffersen, John Fadare, Josh Olliver, Nicolas Alves, and Seán Hayden—aged between 17 and 19—play 14 instruments between them.

Their debut single, Run My Way, was released last month.

The band shared their excitement: “It’s a dream come true for us to play O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

We’ve walked past it hundreds of times and always dreamed of performing here.

This is our biggest crowd yet—we can’t wait to share our music!”

Tickets are free for O2 and Virgin Media broadband customers, available through a ballot on Priority from Monday, March 9, until March 23.
