Amanda Holden has taken glam to new heights, as she took on the Three Peaks Challenge for Heart Radio’s charity, Global’s Make Some Noise.
The 51-year-old looked sensational for 24-hour expedition in a Heart Radio red, waterproof puffer jacket, matching beanie and black leggings.
She swapped her stilettos for hiking books, fetching thick socks, and had a rucksack strapped and clipped around her as she set out to raise money for the charity that funds smaller organisations that help disadvantaged people across the UK.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge documented the 10,476 feet climb across the highest mountains in Wales, England and Scotland – Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis – for her 1.8 million followers.
Starting in Wales, Amanda and her team of mountaineers made the steep climb to the top of the misty mountain Snowdon.
On her stories, Amanda was wrapped up in trousers and a red waterproof that was zipped up to her chin, as she was assaulted by the elements, with the thick fog covering the view.

In the compilation video of the first hike, Amanda laughs as she poses for the cameras, and said she felt a bit ‘windswept’ after trekking to the top into the thick fog.
The mother-of-two could be seen in a full face of make-up, which she later reapplied in the middle of the night on the drive between Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis.
Fans flooded her comments of the pictures and videos on the epic journey with messages of support, with many commenting on how ‘glam she was, even when hiking in some pretty grim weather.
One follower wrote: ‘Not fair you look glam halfway up a mountain!’ as another shared: ‘We didn’t look this amazing when we climbed Snowden.’

A third echoed: ‘Looking fabulous, good luck with your walk!’
After she reached the summit of Scafell Pike, she shared the non-existent view with her followers as she celebrated in the pitch black of the night.
In the video, the rain is lashing down and Amanda is dimly lit by her head torch as she cheers and realises she’s stood at the highest point in Great Britain.
She says through the whipping sound of wind: ‘We made it, oh my god. There were some hairy moments, I’m not going to lie. I was a bit terrified for a lot of it, I didn’t think I made it.
‘We made it! God, I feel like crying. Right, I’m definitely going to need some skittles after saying I didn’t need any sweeties.’
She captioned the clip: ‘Well that was horrific! we made it to the top of #scarfellpike in the weather ever. Necked a bag of #skittles Now in car on way to #bennevis link in bio to donate anything you can to @globals_make_some_noise.’
