Amanda Holden admits she wasn’t naked for Heart FM life drawing class: ‘They ain’t paying me that much!’

She owes it all to Skims, apparently…

| Updated:

Amanda Holden is known for baring her bikini body on Instagram, but she went one step further and stripped down to her birthday suit live on air earlier this month… Or so we thought.

The Heart FM presenter was back on the Breakfast Show with co-host Jamie Theakston on April 8 after a sunshine holiday.

And poor old Jamie appeared to get more than he bargained for when a life drawing class, with Amanda as the subject, took place in the studio.

Heart FM’s life drawing class

Amanda had just got back from a sunshine holiday abroad, and was more than happy to show off her suntan. A video showed her shimmying out of her clothes and posing in a pair of white heels on a stool.

“We’ve transformed the Heart studio into the art studio today,” said Jamie, in a clip posted to social media. “Slightly distracting, Amanda’s in the corner without any clothes on which is a first, not for her, but certainly for most of us,” he added.

I’m not going to lie, it’s slightly distracting.

He then explained that they’d “all been drawing Amanda” before urging the Heart team, and the ladies leading the class, to show Amanda “how the pictures turned out”.

“Oh that’s not bad at all!” Amanda is heard exclaiming in the video, as she casts her eye over their efforts.

Jamie, meanwhile, quipped: “Amanda, can you put a top on? I’m not going to lie, it’s slightly distracting.”

Fans were full of praise for Amanda.

“Amazing! So glad she’s advocating body positivity and nudity! Natural and beautiful everyone!” said one.

“If you got it flaunt it. Go girl,” said another.

“If I had a body like that I wouldn’t wear clothes!!!! Well done Amanda!!!!!” said a third.

Another agreed and said: “GOOD FOR HER … it can’t be easy maintaining her physique. I’d do my weekly shop naked if I looked that good.”

London Drawing Life Drawing, who ran the class, added: “Massive thank you to Heart Breakfast @thisisheart and @jamie.theakston for having us!

“Amanda Holden @noholdenback – you were AMAZING!!

“We are all for Championing all kinds of bodies – as RuPaul @rupaulofficial says: if you can’t love yourself how the hell are you going to love somebody else!? Amen to that.”

Amanda lets slip huge secret

However, appearing on GMB this week, Amanda revealed that all wasn’t quite as it seemed…

She told hosts Kate Garraway and Adil Ray: “Was I in the nude? I might have had a little SKIMS…

“Do you think I would get my kit off with Jamie Theakston in the studio? In all seriousness.”

Adil joked back: “Well, I don’t know the terms of your contract, to be honest!”

Amanda replied: “They ain’t paying me that much! Although, we could discuss it.”

Kate added: “I’ve been in that studio, it’s very chilly in that studio. You wouldn’t want to be naked, would you?”

Amanda answered: “Definitely not, no. It is always flipping cold!”
