Inside BGT star Amanda Holden’s stunning five-bedroom home complete with huge bathroom and £30,000 painting after she puts it on the market for £5million

She impressed BBC viewers when she completely renovated a dilapidated €1 flat in Sicily with friend Alan Carr on their BBC makeover show. 

And BGT star Amanda Holden’s flair for interior design is evident in her own Surrey home which she put on the market last year for £5million. 

Having initially snapped it up in 2015 for £3.5million, the BGT judge, 52, hopes to see a £1.5million profit on the property after revamping it in her own style. 

Not only does it boast a hot tub, outhouse and 30ft by 27ft living room, it also has several unique touches from a palm tree planted in honour of Sir Captain Tom Moore and a £30,000 drawing by the Connor Brothers. 

The property features a modern garden with a decking area, sprawling lawn, boxwoods and ornamental grasses adding to the luxury feel.

Inside, meanwhile, Amanda hasn’t shied away from colour and bold designs. 

In one of the three bathroom’s the walls are covered with antique framed photographs, while the huge living room is steel blue with a geometric print rug and gold accents and plenty of pineapple props. 

Amanda renovated her kitchen with the company Wilson Fink in lockdown and now has three disco ball-style lights, worth £850 each, hanging over her breakfast bar.

The mansion, which includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study, is located behind two sets of private gates which lead onto a private road towards the house.

She lives there with her husband Chris and two daughters Lexi, 17, and Hollie, 11. 

After buying the home, Amanda admitted to ‘badgering’ its former owner to sell it to them for years until they finally relented.

The couple also own a holiday home in the Cotswolds, which they have been renovating over the past year.

The driveway is big enough to hold several cars, which is convenient when Amanda hosts her showbiz parties.

Speaking about her home to House Beautiful, Amanda revealed it was important their Surrey property didn’t feel like ‘a show home’. 

The en-suite bathroom is just off the master bedroom where Amanda has frequently posted enviable pictures on her socials

She said: ‘We have two little girls and don’t want them feeling that they’re treading on eggshells.’

Amanda admitted herself and husband Chris have so many clothes, they turned a room into a walk-in wardrobe – inspired by her favourite TV show.

She said: ‘I’m a huge Sex And The City fan and Chris did a Mr Big and turned a whole room into my wardrobe.

‘Except, he didn’t leave a pair of Manolos at the end… but he arranged everything else. It’s something I’ve always dreamt of.

‘There’s a remote-controlled mirror that goes up and down and lights up – it’s amazing.’

And the TV favourite also conceded she’s a clean freak, meaning every service on the ground floor can be wiped fresh.

Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: ‘I am house proud, but I’ve got two kids, two dogs and a cat, so it’s a family house. Everything is washable and wipeable.

‘It’s so open plan my littlest can cycle her bike around. ‘I don’t have carpets on the ground floor – and this is disgusting – but I was doing an interview a while ago and my puppy pooed on the floor during the chat.

‘But you don’t worry if you have wooden floors. Two words: wipe clean.’

Amanda, who designed a homeware range for shopping network QVC, is so into interior design she believes it could eventually become a day job – if she ever loses her looks.

She added: ‘I want this to be a legacy. When my face falls off and all the telly work dries up, this is actually where I want to be.’
