AMANDA Holden was reportedly ‘told off’ by BBC bosses after breaking show guidelines earlier this month.
The 54-year-old is understood to have been “spoken to” by BBC staff after concern was raised about her breaking the broadcaster’s rules as part of a recent sponsored Instagram post.

Fans have been loving seeing the star back in action again on the Beeb with the latest outing of her show with Alan Carr – Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job.
The show is a follow-up to their previous Italian Job series and sees the pair get stuck-in with hands-on DIY jobs in order to turn a crumbling house into a stunning home.
In the series, Amanda has been sporting a personalised boiler suit which has the phrase “Handy Mandy” emblazoned on the back and has become a signature look for the BGT star during the series.
However, the star has now been forced to delete an Instagram post in which she wore the suit after it appeared to breach the Beeb’s guidelines, according to the Mail Online.
In a sponsored clip for her QVC fashion range uploaded on February 3, Amanda could be seen wearing the boiler suit but the BBC later ruled that the post should be removed as it contradicted rules that prevents talent from appearing in ads in connection to their TV roles.
The Sun understands that Amanda purchased and paid for the suit with her own funds and that the item is not owned by the BBC.
A BBC spokesperson said: “Amanda has removed her post and has been reminded of her responsibilities, as a BBC presenter, when using social media.”
Despite the ‘dressing down’, Amanda has had a ball celebrating fifty-four in style this weekend.
The star showed off her fantastic physique in a sizzling hot birthday photoshoot to mark turning 54.
Amanda wore a black bikini for the striking images as she pulled off a series of playful poses for the snaps.
Her gym-honed figure looked fantastic as she posed seductively against the side of the wall.
Amanda is currently busier than ever balancing BGT with her daily Heart Breakfast show as well as her double act with Alan Carr which has seen three series of their Property Job show as well as hosting the Royal Variety Performance together last year.
