Amanda Holden donned a period drama costume as she discussed Queen Charlotte, the wife of George III in the 18th century, and described her as "the Cilla Black of her era".

The Britain's Got Talent judge said: "I love the fact that Queen Charlotte was like the Cilla Black of her era, just trying to keep love going and keep everybody's relationships going. She's just another trailblazer Queen, isn't she?

"Comfortable in her own sexuality and pushing people together to make sure that they can keep their relationships going and love was at the bottom of all of this. That's the thing to remember. She really believed in love."

Amanda, 52, made the comments and discussed Queen Charlotte in greater detail on the second episode of Sky History's new series Sex: A Bonkers History on Monday. She hosts the show with Dan Jones and they use archive footage and drama reconstruction to shed light on history’s best unknown sex stories.
