Britain’s Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon honour Wicked movie with outfits at auditions
BGT judges Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden had a bright idea – in honour of movie Wicked.
Amanda, 53, dressed in pink like good witch Glinda while Alesha, 46, went for green in a nod to wicked Elphaba’s skin colour.
The pair, who are huge fans of the hit movie, greeted a bumper crowd in the seaside town of Blackpool for a new round of BGT auditions.
They were joined by fellow judges Simon Cowell, 65, Bruno Tonioli , 69, and the show’s 49-year-old hosts Ant and Dec.
A source said the girls were inspired to “wear something colourful in dreary January.”
They added: “Simon thought it was hilarious.”
Last year, The Sun revealed that bosses had pulled a massive U-turn on their plans to host the auditions at the London Palladium — and had moved them all up to Blackpool.
A source revealed that the change was made because the atmosphere in the seaside town was so electric.
The mole said: “BGT is a show that hangs on the audience and how they react — and basically the crowd in Blackpool are absolutely brilliant.
“The Palladium is such an iconic venue but if you compare the shows in Blackpool to the ones they have filmed in London, the audience is way more up for it there.
“The auditions resume in the new year and they’ll all be filmed up in Blackpool.
“Boss Simon Cowell has given the green light to the move and just wants the show to be the best it can be.
“Fellow judge Amanda might not be too impressed though, given she works in London five days a week and the trek to Blackpool is long.
“Fans will be emailed about the changes soon and BGT bosses think it is for the best.”
