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.

Cynthia, who plays Elphaba in the blockbuster adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, looked toned in a white floral dress with a statement chest piece rising to her neck.

She flashed a big smile as she showed off her showstopping outfit while strutting the red carpet in a pair of white strappy stilettos.

The pair looked over the moon to be reunited and were seen warmly embracing each other at The Royal Festival Hall.

They also smiled for a string of photos on the red carpet and posed side-by-side at the champagne reception before the ceremony.

Ariana has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress gong for her role as Glinda in Wicked.

It has received its first award of the night as winners for several categories have been announced already.

Newly-engaed Selena Gomez wowed fans as she rocked up in a dazzling silver and black gown.

The build-up to the glitzy ceremony was drama-filled in the worst possible way.

A huge pre-Baftas bash at the Chiltern Firehouse was cancelled at the last minute after a devastating fire broke out at the venue – a favourite with Hollywood’s elite.

Guests of Netflix, including American A-listers including Selena Gomez, 32, and Zoe Saldana, 46, were thought to have suites booked at the hotel.

Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park, CBE, is also understood to be due to check into the venue ahead of Sunday’s ceremony.

A source said: “This is the ultimate nightmare for Netflix and organisers.

“Every year they spent tens of thousands of pounds to put on the biggest and best BAFTA afterparty around.

“Right now everything hangs in the balance while they get the blaze under control and assess the damage.”

WELL Ruben Amorim wasn’t far wrong when he described his team as ‘probably the worst Manchester United team in history’.

They are certainly the worst of the Premier League era, after defeat in ‘Hell Clasico’ plunged them into the bottom six of the table for the first time at any advanced stage of a season.

This was the first time this competition has seen two of its biggest clubs meeting with both in the bottom half during the second half of a campaign.

And it lived down to expectations – with James Maddison’s early tap-in settling a terrible match between two sides who did little to disguise their harrowing lack of confidence.

For Spurs, it was a second straight league win – although they have been dumped out of both domestic cups since they beat Brentford last time out.

Ange Postecoglou’s prospects are looking a little brighter thanks to the return of Maddison and keeper Guglielmo Vicario, who made several decent saves.

But United, in an injury crisis of their own, continue to flounder – now plummeting to new depths in the modern era.

With Vicario and Maddison back in the starting line-up, while Brennan Johnson and Destiny Udogie were fit enough for places on the bench, Spurs were in the novel position of facing a side more depleted than themselves.

While Postecoglou was without six senior players, Amorim was missing a dozen – Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo the latest casualties.

It meant that eight of United’s nine subs were teenagers who had never previously played for the first team.

Both Vicario and Maddison were straight at it.

Tottenham’s keeper pulled off two decent stops in quick succession to deny Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho before Diogo Dalot had a follow-up effort hacked clear by Ben Davies.

Then Maddison, who’d already lost possession with two back-heels, opened the scoring.

A Son Heung-Min shot was blocked as far as Lucas Bergvall, whose drive was pushed out by Andre Onana for the Spurs playmaker to tap in.

United’s keeper will feel he should have held Bergvall’s effort but Maddison didn’t care, throwing darts and telling people to shush. Don’t mention the league table, kind of thing.

While United were doing much of the attacking, they kept embarrassing themselves.

At one point, Casemiro simply fell over in the centre circle and started pleading to the referee, like an upturned pensioner in the street.

Then Garnacho, fed by Bruno Fernandes, without a Spurs defender in the same postcode, inexplicably propelled his shot into Row Z.

Mathys Tel, who looks very promising, had a shot smartly saved by Onana.

For a while, it descended into the funereal sort of occasion we’d imagined. Casemiro was booked for lacking pace maiming Son. Perhaps the Brazilian could tootle around midfield in a mobility buggy.

“We are the pride of Europe,” sang United’s fans – their exact levels of irony difficult to gauge from the press box.

After the break, Djed Spence darted down the left and centred low but Tel made a hash of his shot.

But United were still on top, Garnacho twice forcing fine saves from Vicario.

Maddison was withdrawn on 63 minutes, having improved Spurs significantly, and was replaced by Pape Matar Sarr as Johnson arrived for his return from injury.

Then, from a Noussair Mazraoui centre, Zirkzee missed a sitter of a header.

Amorim was picked out by TV cameras staring lengthily at the ground, pondering his life choices.

Casemiro had another fall, this time in the Spurs box, but again ref Peter Bankes refused to play the good Samaritan.

Kulusevski shot too close to Onana when he ought to have put the game to bed.

Bentancur was withdrawn and spotted on the bench with an ice pack on his knee – the latest in a long running sick joke being played out against Postecoglou this season.

An unmarked Zirkzee completely missed an attempt at a volley – the Dutchman left looking as if he was playing in clown shoes.

CRISTIANO RONALDO’s partner Georgina Rodriguez was given a special responsibility at Formula E’s latest event.

The motorsport series was in Saudi Arabia on Friday and Saturday for rounds three and four of the championship.

Georgina was given the privilege as a special guest of visiting the pit lane before the race.

Dressed from head to toe in leather, she completed her look with a striking multi-coloured black, white and light blue jacket.

The 31-year-old spoke with Porsche driver Antonio Felix Da Costa about how the sport and cars work.

But her most important role was still to come.

As German DS Penske driver Maximilian Günther crossed the line to win the race, Georgina was given the chance to wave the chequered flag.

Nissan driver Oliver Rowland was leading the field until the final moments, when pole-sitter Gunther lunged down the outside to get ahead.

There was also a third-place podium finish for 20-year-old Brit, Taylor Barnard with NEOM McLaren – in Saturday’s race he became the youngest ever Formula E pole-sitter and came second in a first-ever all-British podium.

Georgina is the mother of Ronaldo’s fourth child Alana and his youngest daughter Bella.

She was born on January 27, 1994, in Jaca, Spain to a Spanish mum and Argentine dad.

Georgina learned dance before changing careers to modelling after studying English in London.

The 30-year-old was first spotted on a string of dates with then-Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo towards the end of 2016.

Georgina has claimed that her first meeting with the football star was “love at first sight.”

“Our first meeting was at Gucci, where I worked as a sales assistant,” she recalled in an interview with The Sun .

“Days later, we saw each other again at another brand’s event.

“It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside my work environment. It was love at first sight for both.”
