Amanda Holden had fans thinking she's completely obsessed with herself as her swimsuit-clad sunbathe went viral in August. Soaking up the sun during her Greece vacation earlier this year, the 53-year-old showed off her incredible figure from a yacht, only to find herself shamed by users on The Daily Mail. In a series of comments calling Amanda an attention seeker, users tormented the Britain's Got Talent judge, with the top reply calling her a bad "example" for her two daughters. Fortunately, feedback was more positive as fans on Instagram reacted to the video.

Amanda Holden Stuns In Tight Swimsuit

Scroll for the video. Compiling a series of sun-soaked snaps into a video collage, Amanda flaunted her sensational figure in a gold swimsuit. Going skintight as she rocked the metallic trend, the blonde highlighted her super-toned legs and killer curves while topping up her tan, posing from the edge of a small yacht as she enjoyed blue ocean views.

Dazzling the camera in her Melissa Odabash one-piece, Amanda gave a nod to her love of high-end brands, something she's continued with bikini-clad shout-outs to model Elizabeth Hurley's swimwear label this summer.

Wearing her light locks down as she struck poses barefoot, Amanda added statement shades for some Hollywood glam, with some images showing her whipping her damp locks around. In a caption, she wrote: "Wearing gold metallic @melissaodabash swimsuit! (unusual for me)." She also threw in a laughing emoji, seemingly poking fun at herself over her regular swimwear displays.

While Instagram went for "obviously wow" and "gorgeous" comments, the vibe was more bitter on The Daily Mail. Over 200 fans have now upvoted a comment reading: "Being so vain and into yourself is one thing, but constantly demonstrating it is another. Not a very good attribute and not setting a good example to her two impressionable teenagers."

Bikini Photos Part Of Her Job

Amanda is a mom to 18-year-old daughter Lexi, plus youngest daughter Hollie Rose, born in 2012. Also shading Amanda was a fan replying: "No-one likes show-off, Mandy." That said, some did defend the TV star. Noting that her job involves staying active on social media, one user replied:

"She earns a living by having - and maintaining - a high media profile. You may not agree with it, but she earns a very good living for her family and I would be hesitant about criticizing the parenting skills of someone I do not actually know."
