Amanda Holden reveals tattoo of Simon Cowell's FACE on her thigh... as she flashes the flesh in revealing lilac gown
Amanda Holden showed off a startling new tattoo while filming an appearance on Graham Norton's chat show on Thursday, to be aired on BBC One on Friday.
The Britain's Got Talent judge pulled up her flowing lilac dress to reveal an inking of her boss Simon Cowell on her left thigh.
However, the 44-year-old star's husband Chris Hughes needn't worry as no doubt it was simply a joke by Amanda.

His biggest fan? Amanda Holden showed off a tattoo of her boss Simon Cowell during the taping of Graham Norton's chat show
As if her tattoo didn't gather enough attention, Amanda's flashed the flesh in a very revealing outfit.
For her turn on the famed red couch, alongside fellow guests Carey Mulligan, Noomi Rapace, and Jessie Ware, Amanda opted for a halterneck lilac dress, which plunged deeply in front.
And despite lots of recent controversy over her tendency to display her nipples in form fitting outfits, it appeared as if, once again, Amanda was not wearing a bra.
Meanwhile, Amanda may be showing her love for Simon with the inking but she wasn't quite as enamoured with him just last week when he pretended to fire her live on radio.
Simon took part in BBC Radio 1's Call or Delete as part of Nick Grimshaw's Breakfast Show and managed to pull off a particularly mean joke as he told Amanda she was being replaced.
And it wasn't just any celeb Simon claimed he was bringing in to sit in Amanda's long-held BGT spot, as he told the TV star that his X Factor favourite Cheryl Fernandez-Versini would be taking her place.
Simon played the prank to perfection, keeping an amazingly straight face as he called Amanda from the Radio 1 studios.
The blonde was immediately suspicious though, as she answered the call with a 'what have I done, why are you ringing me?'

After some small talk, Simon asked if Amanda was alone before telling her to find someone more private. Once the star was safely hidden 'in a cupboard', her boss dropped the bombshell.
Explaining he wanted to 'shake things up a little bit on the live shows' for the new series of BGT, Simon prefaced his statement by reassuring Amanda that 'it doesn't affect you financially and it's something they did in Germany and it worked.'

'Our idea is you do Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, obviously the final and then Tuesday and Thursday we replace you with Cheryl,' he told her.
Amanda seemed genuinely shocked by the news, asking her boss if he was joking.
'Look she's younger and because she's a singer I think what it will do, it'll bring in a different audience and then when you come back it's kind of like they've missed you, if that makes sense,' reasoned Simon.

Amanda, to her credit, took the news pretty well as she told Simon 'if that's what you think's best,' with Simon agreeing, 'all I care about is the show babe,' he insisted.
When Simon suggested she take notes while watching at home, Amanda was adamant she would just 'watch it at home, and cry and then come in and be on it the next day,' but seemed to cotton on when Simon explained another phase of his big plan.

Joke! Amanda appeared upset but told Simon if it was 'for the good of the show' she'd go along with his plan
'I'm thinking that I want to swap David on the semi-final with Jeremy Clarkson which I think will be amazing,' he said much to Amanda's astonishment.
Finally Simon let Amanda off the hook, telling her she was part of Grimmy's Call or Delete.
'My knees have a gone to jelly,' the TV presenter screamed down the phone. 'When you said all you care about is the show, that was the worst bit. I hate you so much. Oh my god, I need a gin,' she added.
His other girl: The music mogul told Amanda his X Factor pal Cheryl would be sitting in for her every other day on the BGT judging panel
Sticking with this: Simon was only joking about the shakeup, with David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda all sitting by his side for the new series which starts this weekend
