Mum-of-two Amanda, 46, has been keeping fans updated whilst on holiday in an idyllic holiday location in Italy, posting photos of the beautiful views, delicious food and her gorgeous daughters.

But there was one photo which left fans with VERY raised eyebrows as she uploaded a rather daring topless picture on Instagram.

Amanda, who has been married to her music producer husband Chris Hughes since 2008, showed off her toned and bronzed bod from the back in a photo of her meditating in front of a swimming pool - wearing just a pair of patterned bikini bottoms and a black sunhat.

Ooh er!

The saucy picture came with the hashtag '#meditationMandy'

Reactions to Amanda's feat of confidence have been VERY mixed, with several fans making sarcastic comments such as: "Shock, you've got your t*ts out again."

Ouch, come on guys!

Others have been celebratory of Amanda's brazen attempt to bare all: "Seriously the hottest mum on this planet."

A few comments have been somewhat racy: "Where's the 360 degree view option...?"

Ew...

Amanda's Instagram name 'noholdenback' certainly reflects her cheeky personality as this is not the first time the Britain's Got Talent judge has caused a flurry of excitement.

The popular ITV1 talent show was cleared in June of breaching rules on nudity after media watchdog Ofcom declared revealing dresses worn by Amanda and fellow host Alesha Dixon, 37, as 'appropriate for television'.

Amanda eats a strictly vegetarian diet and posed naked on a bed of cabbage leaves for a PETA campaign encouraging others to take up vegetarianism. The down-to-earth girl refused to have her pictures photoshopped, claiming she simply had a spray tan and her hair done. She joked: "Oh God, I've finally made it – I must be your oldest page three model!"

Amanda sticks to a strict exercise regime with an hour of Kundalini yoga every morning followed by a four mile run. In 2012 Amanda gave birth to her daughter despite suffering from almost fatal blood loss.

The TV presenter is proud of her body and proud of her own strength. In an interview with Woman magazine Amanda said: "I’m so grateful to my body after what it has been through.

"I got into yoga because after Hollie was born I’d been on a ventilator and I had a lot of lung problems. Kundalini yoga is all about breath work, so I took it on to build my strength.

"A lot of people advised me to do it for calmness, too. I don’t really sit still, I’m always on the go."

Do you think Amanda is a body confidence hero or should consider covering up on camera? Let us know over on Facebook and Twitter.
