Amanda Holden looks unrecognisable with red hair transformation - and fans react

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.

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."
