Amanda Holden channelled her inner Barbie as she rollerskated around sunny Spain with her co-host Alan Carr, who posed as Ken. The pair were understood to be there filming the BBC show Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job.
The presenting friends shared footage of themselves to Instagram on a promenade, with Amanda, 53, dressed in a figure-hugging neon lycra set and roller skates – similar to the outfit worn by Margot Robbie in scenes during the film Barbie (2023).
Meanwhile, Alan, 48, matched his co-star as he wore a pink shirt and matching shorts that featured a floral design and flamingos. He also wore rollerskates but appeared less confident in his get-up than Amanda was, as she shared a clip of him awkwardly clinging on to a railing.
In a clip where they seemed to be supporting England in tonight’s Euros game against Switzerland, Amanda couldn’t stop laughing as she teased: “Alan can’t skate.” Alan echoed what she said as he admitted: “I can’t skate,” while laughing.
Amanda captioned the clip: “Skating into the #quarterfinals come on @england #barbie.” Alan wrote similarly in one of his posts: “Skating into the Quarter Finals like … c’mon England. You got this.”
Fans flooded the TV personalities with compliments as they loved the chosen outfits. One wrote: “Ken & Barbie, love it. I bet you could go faster Amanda? More fun and humour the better.”
Another added: “Can’t wait for the next series you both are absolutely nutters.” A third penned: “Amanda what is your secret for looking so good at 53?”
Someone else said: “Now you would have been a better Barbie than Margot Robbie!” Another person added: “Looking fab Mandy, could I have that bumbag please.”
The comedic duo are soon set to be back on screens as Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job was announced by the BBC earlier this year. It follows the launch of Amanda and Alan’s Italian Job last year, which saw the hosts travel around Italy.
The new series will see them renovate a property in Spain and learn new skills along the way as their friendship continues to grow.
BBC described the upcoming show as they shared a synopsis, which read: “Challenging themselves with their biggest house yet to renovate, they’ll be learning new DIY skills, and once again pushing themselves out of their comfort zone as they try to turn their wreck of a house into something magic.”
