Amanda Holden exudes confidence as she poses in a red-hot dress for her new ‘dream’ Netflix series Cheat: Unfinished Business.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 54, is swapping ITV for the global streamer as she presents the brand-new dating show, which launches on April 30.
And Amanda, who appeared as a contestant on Blind Date when she was 19 years old, has gone full circle hosting the series, which follows eight ex-couples whose relationships were torn apart because of infidelity.
Wearing a red dress with high thigh slit and matching stilettos, Amanda commands attention on the set of the show, which was filmed at a 10-bedroom luxury villa in Mallorca.
She will oversee the cast as they reunite in their pairs at the love retreat and are guided through their issues by Married At First Sight UK relationship expert Paul C. Brunson, in the hopes they can put the past behind them.
But emotions are likely to run high with some couples destined to split for good as forgiveness proves too tough for their scorned exes.

Amanda, who shares daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, with husband Chris Hughes, told MailOnline she has always longed to present a dating series.
She said: ‘It is my dream job, if I could have manifested a job… this would have been it. It is the job I have wanted my whole life and it’s finally happening.’
The Heart Breakfast host added: ‘A series about second chances and unfinished business. I can’t wait, along with Paul, to meet and help these couples work out whether they can forgive and forget. I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of it.’
After carving out an acting career in the 90s starring on TV shows such as The Bill, Jonathan Creek and Wild at Heart, Amanda has recently expanded her repertoire to front Sky documentary Sex: A Bonkers History, BBC travel show Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job and now, her very own Netflix series.
Amanda was just 19 when she took part in Blind Date, telling viewers that her ideal man would be film star Jack Nicholson.
She didn’t find her life partner on that occasion, instead waiting 17 years before marrying her second husband, music executive Chris in 2008.
Given her past experience on a dating show, Amanda says she wouldn’t be against her daughters signing up to a reality series, but she draws the line at Love Island.
Speaking in April last year, she added: ‘I wouldn’t let my girls go on Love Island but if they wanted to go on a dating show, I would let them.’

Paul said there was ‘no way’ he could say no to appearing on the Netflix show given Amanda’s involvement, admitting it’s been a ‘dream’ to work with the TV star
Podcaster Paul, who’s originally from the States, has made a name for himself in the UK after appearing as a relationship expert on Celebs Go Dating and Married At First Sight
Joining Amanda on the new series, which follows fan favourite dating shows Love Is Blind UK and Too Hot To Handle, is relationship expert Paul, who’s made a name himself on Celebs Go Dating and Married At First Sight UK.
Paul, who’s been married to childhood sweetheart Jill for 23 years, got his big break after Oprah Winfrey spotted one of his YouTube videos and invited him to co-host a TV show with her.
The Washington-born star has further established his career on UK soil with podcast We Need To Talk, where he has interviewed the likes of comedian Katherine Ryan, former X Factor judge Tulisa, and Love Island contestant Maura Higgins.
He said he’s excited to explore ‘all the grey areas of infidelity’ while working with the contestants on Unfinished Business, adding: ‘Not only that, but to work with Amanda Holden has been a dream of mine, so with her on board there was no way I could say no.’
