Amanda Holden has well and truly nailed the work hard/play hard balance.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 52, has been filming the second series of Italian Job, her renovation show with comedian Alan Carr, 47, which proved a major hit earlier this year.
Of course, filming for series 2 has required her to be in Italy – and her whole family tagged along for the holiday.
Amanda has been shooting in Forte dei Marmi and she’s had us all green with envy with her travel snaps, the latest of which captures her dining with her lookalike daughters and sister Debbie.
As their trip came to an end, Amanda revealed that she and her girls had been staying at the newly refurbished La Serena Hotel.
Accompanied by 11-year-old Hollie and big sister Lexi, 17, the TV personality celebrated her final night by being wined and dined at the hotel’s restaurant.

A snap shared to Instagram captured Amanda looking extra glowy in a vibrant strapless dress.
Her caption read: ‘A big GRAZIE to the gorgeous newly refurbished @laserena_fortedeimarmi for hosting a wonderful few days for my girls and sister whilst @chattyman and I filmed series 2 of #ItalianJob .. they made us feel like family.’
Just days ago, Amanda wowed with a bikini snap shared with her two million followers as she took a break from filming to top up her tan and enjoy an Aperol spritz.
Reclining on a sun lounger, the talent show judge showcased her incredible toned figure in an orange two-piece with a crochet cover-up thrown over her shoulders.
Meanwhile, funny man Alan has also been teasing series 2 of Italian Job, which saw the long-time friends breathe new life into an old property that they bought for just €1.

Sporting a loud patterned shirt and an equally as bright pair of red shorts, the comic posed against a wall for Insta, joking that he looked tiny in the shot.
‘It looks like I’ve shrunk (sadly not my waistline😔 – more pasta please 🐷)’, he quipped, adding that the ‘roasting’ town was one of his ‘favourite places ever.’
Fans of Amanda and Alan’s series are eagerly awaiting the announcement of a series 2 launch date.
‘Can’t wait for your new series’, one person commented on an Insta pic of the hilarious duo larking around in a tuk-tuk.
‘When when when when when when when when WHEN ?’, another demanded to know.
