Amanda Holden was left stunned at her very cheeky birthday surprise from friend Simon Cowell.
Though the Britain’s Got Talent judge couldn’t celebrate turning 50 like she would have liked to, the day was still filled with much laughter thanks to Simon’s good humour.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the mum-of-two revealed the hilarious gift she’d received from Simon, which was wrapped up in a yellow bow.
“Dear Amanda, I thought you might need this. Love Simon,” the note wrote, alongside the gift – which was none other than a walking frame.
Finding the gift funny, Amanda wrote: “Thank you to my hilarious friend @simoncowell for my wonderful gift!” alongside laughing and heart emojis.

Earlier in the day, Amanda thanked fans for their birthday wishes as she celebrated the special day with her loved ones.
“How did this happen! Half a century… time flies,” she wrote alongside a snap of herself posing up a storm in a sparkling plunging jumpsuit on top of a huge white cake.
“Thank you for all your kind & loving messages today… my husband Chris and my gorgeous girls have spoiled me rotten and it’s still going.
“My friends have sent the most hilarious messages & presents and made this day extra special… I can’t wait to celebrate in a HUGE way when we can… I’m 50 all year and all year we’re gonna party. Hang on to your loved ones. It’s nearly over.”
It comes as Amanda hit headlines for breaching lockdown rules.
She took a 400-mile round trip to Cornwall from London to visit her parents after receiving a distressing family phone call.
Devon and Cornwall Police have warned visitors they face a fine, however it’s been reported that Amanda will not be getting one.
The star was seen getting out of a Mercedes at the home of her mum Judith, 71, and stepdad, Leslie, 75.
It is believed she had not seen them for a year due to Covid.

“Amanda is aware that all families are going through difficulty during these turbulent times but received a distressing telephone call from her elderly father,” her spokesperson said.
The spokesperson went on: “On balance Amanda felt the round trip necessary to contain the matter at her family home. The situation has now been aided and Amanda is back in London.
“She did not act on a whim and has adhered to Covid rules every step of the way in all lockdowns. Her parents are vaccinated and, with Amanda testing weekly, she felt she was not putting them at risk.
“She did not come into contact with the public.”
