And Amanda, 49, has now teased that fans will be able to watch the live semi-final and final action from inside the studio.

She dished on her Heart Breakfast radio show on Thursday: "I spoke to the producers yesterday and we remain hopeful that there’ll be a big family audience for BGT.

"I’m just going to say, we will be leading the way for the future in TV in how people will watch our show live."

Her co-host Jamie Theakston probed further, asking if she was talking about a live studio audience.

Amanda replied: "Yes, we’re going to be leading the way on how our audience sees Britain’s Got Talent this year."

She added: "Watch and learn people. I’m not giving it away because I don’t want all the other shows to nick the idea!"

Jamie then asked, "Do you really understand it yourself?" to which Amanda quipped, laughing: "No!"

The BGT auditions were filmed across the country in January and February and are being aired on television now.

Discussing when the live shows will start, Amanda previously hinted that they'll be held in "early autumn".

She said: “All of the judges have been given a date to hold in early autumn to see if it works live.

"We would never do it without an audience because we’ve always said the British public is the fifth judge. It would be no fun without them!”

The TV personality may have to rein in some of her revealing outfits however, as she admitted her daughter Hollie, eight, gets "embarrassed" by her boob-flashing looks.

She told Jamie Theakston on Thursday: "You know my daughter Hollie is embarrassed I don't really wear anything."

Amanda didn't reveal how her eldest daughter Lexi, 13, or her husband Chris feel about her skimpy wardrobe.

Despite Hollie's discomfort, the presenter threw caution to the wind as she headed out in a low-cut nude dress in London on Thursday.

She made the most of the sunshine in her button-down dress, which she teamed with studded caged heels.

Amanda completed her look with a suede bag and some stylish tortoiseshell sunglasses.
