Amanda Holden reveals she loves dressing up like Khaleesi from Game Of Thrones and wears sexy costumes at home
AMANDA Holden has revealed she loves dressing up like Khaleesi from Game Of Thrones.
The Britain's Got Talent judge admitted she "channels" Daenerys Targaryen by wearing sexy dresses inspired by the feisty character in the hit HBO series.
Her favourite character to emulate is Daenerys - played by Emilia Clarke - and says it's makes her feel empowered to don the sumptuous gowns at home.
She told the : “I love Game of Thrones. I’m such a huge fan of the show. I love the dresses they wear on it. They’re stunning.
“I have a few of my own now. I’m often channelling my inner Khaleesi when I’m at home.”
Amanda is such a fan of the show that she and hubby Chris Hughes have brought their kids to some of the locations where the show has been filmed.
She's been in the showbiz industry for years but the 46-year-old admitted she had a fan-girl moment when she met some of the cast at a recent bash.
"I just about held it together. It was so exciting," she added.
While she's a fan of Khaleesi - which means "empress" - Game Of Thrones fans actually think Amanda looks like Cersei Lannister, played by the actress Lena Headey.
One fan said on Twitter: "Amanda Holden and Cersei Lannister are like long lost twins!”

Another added: "For the last few years my brother has thought that Cersei Lannister was played by Amanda Holden.”
The telly favourite plays Miss Pentangle, the headmistress of the academy of witches who loves to wear pink.
She said: "She’s basically Cher from the movie Clueless in a pointy hat!
"I took the role mainly because the series is one of Lexi and Hollie’s favourites, and I love it when they can see my work.
"I’m really fortunate that most of the jobs I do are completely kid-friendly – nothing naughty! – so I don’t have to stop them watching."
