Amanda Holden to leave her Christmas decorations up until Feb 'like the Queen'

Amanda Holden plans to leave her Christmas decorations up until February - "like the Queen".

Sharing a picture of herself drinking a glass of red perched on the side of hotub in a red swimsuit, Amanda revealed her plan to fans.

The Britain's Got Talent host, 49, explained: "The Queen doesn't take her decorations down until Candlemas.

"After last nights news - I think we may have a huge argument for keeping them up."

In the backdrop of her picture was a large Christmas tree, twinkling with lights and topped with a star.

The Queen traditionally leaves up her decorations - although not her trees - until February 6 at her Scottish estate of Sandringham, where she usually spends the festive period.

The date marks the anniversary of her father's death.

The then Princess Elizabeth became queen when King George VI passed away on 6 February 1952 at Sandringham House.

It is only after marking the day with husband Prince Philip that she leaves for London, and the decorations come down.

This year the Royal couple spent the festive period at Windsor Castle, due to coronavirus considerations.
