Amanda Holden, 55, shows off incredible body in tiny bikini as she spends Easter on luxury holiday

AMANDA Holden looked stunning in a tiny mint green bikini as she soaked up the sun on her Easter holidays.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge is on a tropical getaway with her family this Easter and showed off her toned physique in this season’s hottest colour.

Amanda posed by some palm trees in a Melissa Odabash triangle bikini and completed the look with a pair of oversized, gold-framed sunglasses.

She stayed hydrated by sipping on a fresh coconut and posted the photos to Instagram.

“Sunshine, coconuts & family = holiday,” she captioned the post.

Amanda is married to Chris Hughes and they are parents to daughters Alexa, 20, and Hollie, 14.

Amanda’s luxury holiday comes after the good news that she has landed a second series of Celebrity Inner Circle.

Amanda, 55, will be back to host the second series of Celebrity Inner Circle on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Across eight brand‑new episodes, the high‑stakes quiz show will see a contestant pair up with a celebrity with the aim of making it all the way to the final round.

Two players then face the ultimate decision – split the prize money and walk away as equals or attempt to take it all by shafting the other player, leaving them with nothing.

Amanda said: “It’s a joy that The Celebrity Inner Circle returns to BBC primetime for a second series of backstabbing, betrayal and a sprinkle of team play.

“This is not just a quiz show, it’s a real mind game. My jaw was on the floor throughout the first series at the level of deception!

“It’s truly wonderful that I’m left to improvise with my script on this show and I guarantee you a mini skirt, high heels and a lash on top of a brilliant show of trust – with no obligation to tell the truth!

“Only the viewer at home really knows what’s truly going on, so shouting at the telly throughout Series 2 for all the right reasons is guaranteed.”

Elias Koteas plays detective Alvin Olinsky in just over 100 episodes of “Chicago P.D.” This is in addition to a combined eight episodes as the character on “Chicago Justice,” “Chicago Fire,” and “Chicago Med.” Between his debut in the “Chicago P.D.” pilot and his departure in Season 5, Episode 22, Alvin is a core member of the show’s cast and the One Chicago universe at large. In his final appearance, however, Alvin dies, meaning that the episode’s May 2018 air date marks Koteas’ definitive exit from the franchise.

After that final episode of “Chicago P.D.” Season 5 first aired, TVLine interviewed showrunner Rick Eid about the decision to kill off Alvin. “From a creative perspective, it was a decision that evolved organically,” he said, detailing how the series’ writers landed on Alvin’s death as a byproduct of a key storyline.

“From a business perspective, however, this was an extremely difficult decision,” Eid continued. “Elias is a terrific actor and a good person. He’s also been an important part of the show since the very beginning. So this part of the process was really challenging. But Elias handled the news like a true professional and remained committed to the show and his character until the final shot. We will miss him dearly.”

Koteas’ “Chicago P.D.” departure, then, was not the result of an interpersonal conflict or even a desire to move on to other work, but the notion that Alvin’s death was what was best for the series’ story at the time.

The Chicago P.D. writers’ room at one point considered Alvin’s survival

In his TVLine interview, Rick Eid characterized Alvin Olinsky’s death as a plot point the “Chicago P.D.” writers’ room decided would best serve the character’s storyline going into the Season 5 finale. He echoed this sentiment in another interview published around the same time by Entertainment Weekly. That said, during this latter conversation, Eid revealed that Alvin surviving that episode’s events was, at least at one point, something the writers’ room considered. “I think everything was on the table,” he said. “We went through practically every iteration we could think of, and we all just kept coming back to this idea as a really powerful idea. That’s ultimately how it all came about.”

Furthermore, Eid emphasized that accepting the “Chicago P.D.” team’s decision to kill off Elias Koteas’ character wasn’t easy. “Ultimately, the final decision is just really hard because everybody loves Elias, and he’s a great actor and a great person. It’s hard,” he said.

Based on these comments, Alvin’s death was something the “Chicago P.D.” writers decided made so much sense it was worth overcoming what was otherwise an aversion to writing Koteas off of the show.
