Amanda Holden has said her bottom flash is a "homage" to Lady Gaga.

The Britain's Got Talent judge posted a cheeky photo with a peek of her pert derriere on Twitter, to promote her interview with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga for their new album Cheek To Cheek.

She said on This Morning: "Well, the relevance of that was the fact that I interviewed Lady Gaga at the weekend with Tony Bennett - who I have to say, I was more interested in interviewing because I love him - and one of Lady Gaga's dresses the other week... she had her bum hanging out at the back, so that was my homage!"

The 43-year-old mother-of-two added: "Although the Daily Mail very nicely made me sound much cleverer because they said it was to promote their album Cheek To Cheek. Anyway, the interview will be on telly on November 3 when we come back from half term."

The post, which was posted on October 18, was favourited over 7,000 times and retweeted over 3,000 times. The photo showed Amanda in a purple knee-length dress, zipped up to reveal her bottom, with the caption: "Guess who I interviewed today?! #cheeky"

Her co-presenter Phillip Schofield said: "Well done by the way, it really swept the country," to which Amanda said: "I really wasn't expecting that!"

When Phillip remarked: "And can I just say, nice bum!", a blushing Amanda replied: "Thanks, it's nearly 44-years-old!"

Amanda previously recreated the famous Athena poster of a female tennis player flashing her bare backside, although she kept her underwear on, to launch a pop-up tennis court in London.
