Amanda Holden says 'we're back' after fans do double take in teenage daughter mistake over robe snap

Amanda Holden has fans doing a double take over her latest social media post as she appears to be ageing backwards. The Britain's Got Talent judge has since declared 'we're back' as she confirmed that she and her celebrity pal Alan Carr are filming the second series of their BBC show.

Earlier this year, BBC viewers saw Amanda join forces with the comedian for Amanda and Alan: The Italian Job. The series, filmed last year, saw the duo purchase two dilapidated apartments for one euro each in picture-perfect Salemi in Italy before spending the summer renovating them. Then, at the end of the summer, the property goes on sale and all the profits are donated to charity.

And sharing a video of clips from their Italalian adventure to Instagram, Amanda announced back in May: "Over the moon to let you know that the second series of Amanda and Alan: The Italian Job is in the making. @chattyman and I start filming in a few weeks! Exact destination to be revealed soon!!"

Weeks later and the pair have now touched down in Italy. Taking to the new social media site Threads on Tuesday morning (July 11), Amanda posted a photo of herself and Alan getting into the spirit of their latest Italian adventure by sipping on a couple of Aperol Spritzes.

"We're back!!" the 52-year-old declared alongside the post on the new Meta app, from the company behind Facebook and Instagram, which has a text-style format which encourages users to post updates and join public discourse, similar to Twitter. She added: "Series 2 of Amanda and Alan #TheItalianJob."

It comes after Amanda showed off her early morning view to her social media followers on Monday (July 10) after ditching the UK for Italy. "Early morning coffee with these views…" she captioned the image on Instagram to her two million followers.

The Heart Radio star could be seen perched looking out of the breathtaking, currently undisclosed, location in Italy as she sported a white fluffy robe. She gave a flash of her long, toned legs as she matched her robe with a pair of soft white slippers.

Amanda appeared fresh-faced in the image as she held onto her mug of coffee as her blonde locks had been pushed back away from her face. And Amanda was soon inundated with comments as fans mistook her for her teenage daughter, Lexi.

@junebholly commented: "First glance I thought it was Lexi, she is so much like you!!" @danielajunepinto wrote: "God I thought this was Lexi." Meanwhile, others were simply happy to flood Amanda with compliments.

@grahambean4 said: "Beauty all around." @jenni_jess_sky_reece_ replied: "U look amazing tell me how u do it and want u use." @1sjury commented: "Absolutely stunning." @patrik.ivan gushed: "One of the most incredible women on the Earth." @sarahanneatkins79 added: "So gorgeous hon."
