Amanda Holden shows her cheeky side as she recreates racy 1970s tennis poster

Updated 21:55pm on 23 Jun 2008



Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden put her cheeky side on display in a recreation of photographer Martins Elliotts' famous 1970s Tennis Girl poster.

The actress flashed her derrière during a promotional shoot, but was thankfully more demure than the original model, who wore no underwear at all.

Iconic: Martins Elliotts' 1976 poster

Amanda is today at Wimbledon challenging members of the public to a game of tennis on the Robinsons court after having intensive training sessions with former Centre Court  darling Tim Henman.

As well as showing off her racket skills, she also entered into the debate on whether women should wear shorts at Wimbledon.

She called on all female players 'to dress like women' following Maria Sharapova's announcement she would be wearing shorts.

Sharapova has sparked outrage by revealing her choice of kit at this year's tournament.

But the 37-year-old said: 'Women should wear feminine clothes. They might play like men  -  but they should dress like ladies.'

A Wimbledon official added: 'It creates a genteel image when you see an attractive lady in a white tennis skirt on the lush green grass.'

What exactly does Amanda Holden do? She's like a reality TV winner trying to get as much publicity for herself before her short career burns out.
