Amanda Holden launches largest cake, more fantastically staged pictures
By Naomi Gordon
Amanda Holden was in Westfield today (November 28) for an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the world's largest cake sculpture.
The epic challenge aims to raise money for the charity Make-A-Wish - of which Holden is patron - which grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.
While the above was for charity, we thought that excuse enough to share a few of our favourite staged Amanda Holden pictures from over the years.
There's no promotional photoshoot too cheesy for our Amanda, or so these 13 amazing snaps below would suggest....
Cheeky
Amanda Holden recreates the iconic Tennis Girl poster at the Robinsons pop and play tennis court at Westfield in Stratford City.
And unbelievably, she did it six years prior to that too (kind of), during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
Tasty?
Holden was on the hunt for the UK's tastiest torso (not sure the bloke second from the right has a chance) as she promoted a Greek low fat yoghurt.
Ditto.
Poor deer
Holden holds on to an unhappy-looking reindeer as she attends a celebrity singalong from Frozen at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Nice pair
Amanda Holden returned to the grocery shop where she enjoyed her first ever job as she promoted her most recent autobiography last year. And couldn't resist holding up a pair of big round melons, obviously.
Can't breathe?
She almost gets smothered by a snake as she helps launch the Harry Potter Dark Arts feature as part of the Warner Bros Studio Tour.
Bottoms up
Here she casually launches the All Seasons hotel brand with two creepy-looking male waiters.
What the?
For some reason, Amanda Holden sits on a grand piano as she promotes TrimSole footwear in London.
Caffeine free
Holden poses inside a giant coffee jar to launch Kenco's Eco Refill Waste Less challenge.
Showstopper
Amanda goes all out as a Parisian showgirl to promote her former programme Amanda Holden's Fantasy Lives.
Breezy Holden
Holden's looking a bit windswept as she opens the Gina Hemmings Health & Beauty store in Kew.
