Fellow judges Alesha Dixon, 44, and Simon Cowell, 63, also looked surprised at last weekend’s risque routine before voting them through.
But Amanda, Alesha and Simon had a similar reaction when the troupe, then known as Forbidden Nights, first appeared on the show in 2015.
Choreographer Leigh Coda, who also goes by the name of Billy, even danced in both routines.
