The Britain's Got Talent judge looked stunning in a figure-hugging red dress by Fendi and a matching hat of ostrich feathers by young designer Jane Marcantonio.

The five-day Berkshire meet is as much a social occasion as an event for betting punters.

Every year the Queen and members of the Royal Family join the thousands of fans to cheer on the jockeys and horses as they thunder past.

Holden attracted a crowd of race-goers eager for photographs and autographs when she arrived.

The actress said she did not follow the form of horses but used the tried and tested methods of picking a name she liked.

She said: "I go by the name. If I get lucky then I get lucky. If I don't I've still had a good time.

"To be honest I love the social occasion more than anything else. I like a glass of champagne and looking at all the lovely hats and seeing the men in their top hats and tails."

As the actress described her outfit, she added a cheeky joke saying: "My underwear is by Marks & Spencer before you ask."

She added: "I'm coming today because I can't come on Thursday when it's Ladies' Day so it's Ladies' Day for me now."
