Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon end up a bit windswept at BGT pre-final party


That's not the look they were hoping for! Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon end up a bit windswept at BGT pre-final party


Having a night off after a week of semi-finals, you'd expect Britain's Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon to want a cosy night in their pyjamas and slippers.
Instead the judges donned a pair of glamorous gowns to work the red carpet for a special pre-final party.
But their overall pristine look as they arrived at London's Banqueting House was spoiled somewhat by a fierce wind blowing in from the nearby Thames.

New Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha, who was poached from Strictly Come Dancing this year, seemed to be worse off with the silver satin material refusing to stay down around her ankles.
The former Mis-teeq singer, 33, seemed to laugh it off as she fought to control the gown.
    Dixon had teamed the silver dress, with a risqué sheer panel, with a pair of white and bronze high-heeled sandals.

    Meanwhile, her partner-in-crime Amanda, 41, opted for a nude and red corseted J'Aton Couture mullet gown.
    Although the sheer material was lifted up, fortunately the under skirt was fitted enough so Amanda didn't need to worry about revealing too much.
    Like Alesha, the mother-of-two also went up an up do, accessorising with Yves Saint Laurent heels and an Aspinal gold clutch.

    She took hairstylist Ben Cooke as her date, revealing her husband Chris Hughes is 'shy' at public events.
    She tweeted: 'BenCookeHair is my Red Carpet husband tonight!!
    'Chrispy always a bit shy At these things.'

    The Britain's Got Talent final is on ITV1 on Saturday 12 May at 7:30pm.
