Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli lead the early arrivals at Eventim Apollo as Britain's Got Talent judges prepare for their makeovers ahead of latest live semi-final

Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli were among the early arrivals on Wednesday as Britain's Got Talent geared up for its third semi-final. 

The two judges made their way into Hammersmith's Eventim Apollo ahead of the reality TV juggernaut's latest live show. 

Amanda, 53, whose risky outfits have inevitably wrestled some of the attention away from this year's contenders, looked rather less glamorous in a blue denim jacket and white vest as she prepared for another makeover. 

Meanwhile Bruno, 68, stripped down to a black gym vest before greeting onlookers with a smile as he made his way through the studio doors. 

Amanda in particular will no doubt be hoping for a positive response from fans after the sweeping dress she wore on Tuesday evening divided viewers. 

The presenter and judge received mixed opinions regarding the gown as fans were quick to comment on her unusual ensemble. 

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers wrote: 'Amanda is wearing a slinky. I wonder if she falls down stairs one step at a time. #bgt'

'What the hell is Amanda wearing it’s hideous #BGT." Another viewer added: "Amanda wearing a meringue?'

While other fans were in awe of her dress, penning: 'I do like Amanda's dress. Must be quite hard to manoeuvre through doors though.'

'Amanda’s dress is a work of art…'

During Monday's first live semi-final, Amanda caught the eyes of Britain's Got Talent viewers as she wore a revealing claret red dress.

The garment's material gathered to the front but it was for another reason that fans of the show focussed their attention on the dress - many took to social media to note that they could see her nipples through the material.

They joked it must have been cold at the Apollo, with one writing: 'Live shows baby!!! First live show and Amanda already has her nips out. Fantastic.'

After six weeks of Britain's Got Talent auditions, the live semi-finals kicked off on Monday as eight acts competed with one another in the hope of landing themselves a valuable place in Sunday’s grand finale. 

A further eight entrants will feature each night of the week before the final, with two acts from each evening making it through – one decided from a public vote and the second decided by the judges.

The winner will get a life-changing £250,000 cash prize and a spot on the bill of the Royal Variety Performance.

Britain's Got Talent returns for the second live semi-final on Wednesday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
