Amanda Holden is renowned for her iconic blonde hair, but it's safe to say she suits many different hairstyles! The Britain's Got Talent star looked almost unrecognisable in her latest Instagram photo, which was taken while she was playing Thoroughly Modern Millie in the West End. The talented actress wore a red wig while portraying the iconic character back in 2003, and she looked stunning. Amanda had shared the picture to encourage her fans to help support the arts following the coronavirus pandemic, which has left many actors – who are mainly freelancers - out of work, and the future of the industry is now uncertain.

Just a picture No description. The goal is to flood social media with our profession. Copy this text and post a pic #savethearts."

Amanda has still been working during the lockdown, brightening up people's mornings on the Heart Breakfast radio show alongside co-host Jamie Theakston. The mother-of-two even released a charity single, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, back in May, to raise money for the NHS.

She explained: "Every song on my album has got a story behind it and has something to do with my family. It's been well documented that my husband and I had a child that was born sleeping - our son Theo. Somewhere Over The Rainbow was on the album because my daughter Hollie was born the following year and when you've lost a child, you often call the child that comes next your rainbow baby."
