She's currently starring as a Fairy Godmother in the Cinderella pantomime.

But Amanda Holden clearly hadn't got the magic abilities memo as she made a dash to a waiting bike clutching a bag of food following the show.

The presenter, 45, looked worlds away from her character as she sported a helmet and biker gear, making a less than fairy-like exit on Thursday night.

Not a fairy-like exit: Amanda Holden clearly hadn't got the magic abilities memo as she made a dash to a waiting bike clutching a bag of food following the Cindarella Panto on Thursday

Still sporting a full face of stage make-up, including heavy blush, bright pink gloss and false lashes, she made her way out of the London Palladium theatre following her performance.

Wearing a biker helmet with a microphone attached, she made her way over to the waiting Virgin media bike.

And bringing a touch of biker glamour, she wore a warm parka jacket, skinny jeans and grey over-the-knee boots.

And it looked as though she had worked up an appetite following her lively stage appearance.

The blonde beauty fondly clutched a Food Hall bag, no doubt eager to get home and enjoy her well-deserved meal.

Slipping into a weather-proof overall, the mother-of-three looked relaxed as she sat back on the bike home.

Amanda is starring as the Fairy Godmother in the beloved pantomime - having taken on the role of Cinderella twenty years ago in one of her first acting jobs.

The Britain's Got Talent judge appears alongside a star-studded cast - including Paul O'Grady as the Wicked Stepmother, Julian Clary as Dandini, as well as Nigel Havers, Paul Zerdin and Lee Mead.

The fun-loving blonde appeared on This Morning to talk about the exciting show, and confessed she will be bringing a saucy twist to the iconic panto role.

Sitting with hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, she said: 'It's an extravaganza, it doesn't feel like a pantomime, it's a musical.

'I did panto when I first left drama school 20 years ago, I was Cinderella, I'm way too old to play that girl now.'

She added that Cher's costume designer has been working on her multiple looks, which will feature heavily throughout:

'I've got loads of costumes. My dress gets ripped off and I do a huge tap dance in the middle of it, it's not your usual fairy godmother - something for the dads!'

The mum of two explained that she wrestled with the idea of working over Christmas when deciding to take the part but ultimately decided it would be a once in a lifetime experience for her whole family.

'Another reason for doing it is my girls, they're still into dolls, fairies and Christmas. My entire dressing room looks like Santa's grotto so they're with me every single day

'I've had to really steel myself to do it. but it's one Christmas and all my family are coming to London to see it so we've booked lots of meals out.'
