Amanda Holden has caused a stir online after sharing highlights from her recent luxury getaway to St Tropez. The TV star, known for her sun-soaked trips abroad, posted a video montage on Instagram showcasing champagne breakfasts, gourmet meals, and stunning resort views, complete with her posing in a string bikini while holding an Aperol.

In her caption, Amanda revealed she had enjoyed the trip with friends, flying British Airways and staying at the luxurious Arev St Tropez, as well as bumping into fellow celebrities including Piers Morgan and Celia Walden at Club 55. “Had the most incredible few days in St Tropez… Ate, shopped, drank — and it was just stunning!” she wrote.
