Amanda Holden remains in character as the Queen of Hearts as she leaves Heart FM on World Book Day

Amanda Holden was in no rush to shed her Queen of Hearts persona on World Book Day as she left her duties at Heart FM.

Exiting the studios on Thursday, the TV and radio presenter, 50, channelled the Alice in Wonderland monarch, but added some showbiz glam to the look with a pair of dark shades. 

Putting on a leggy display, the Britain’s Got Talent judge wore a card-inspired dress, complete with a dramatic collar and dipped hemline.

The mother-of-two boosted her figure in black ankle boots, while a spiked crown served as her key accessory.

Amanda maintained the red theme by sporting classic lipstick and drew a small black heart underneath her left eye.

Clearly having had a fun morning, she was seen strutting out of the Global Studios office, in great spirits.

Co-hosts Ashley Roberts and Jamie Theakston became Alice and The Mad Hatter respectively for the occassion.
