Amanda Holden is no stranger to a daring ensemble, but her latest 'tenniscore' get-up might just be her most risqué yet. The 54 year old star cheekily bares all in new social media snaps, donning head-to-toe tennis gear and showing off her derriere – a nod to the iconic 1970s Athena 'Tennis Girl' poster, perhaps?

But what's the secret behind Amanda's enviably firm posterior? The answer lies in her recent post promoting her favourite anti-ageing supplement, Revive Collagen's Enhanced Plus - Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Drink.

While the product boasts impressive 'lifting' benefits, we're not sure they had Amanda's bum specifically in mind when detailing its effects. However, given that the collagen-infused gel, which should be taken daily for optimum results, enhances overall skin elasticity, it's safe to say Amanda is reaping the full-body benefits.

You can nab a 14-day subscription of the Marine Collagen Drink for £35.69 or opt for a monthly subscription, which equates to £2.31 per day – less than your morning latte. So, if you've been contemplating starting your collagen journey, let Amanda's pert posterior be your motivation.

If you're on the fence about the real benefits of ingestible collagen for your skin, rest assured there's a growing body of research backing its long-term positive impact. However, it's not to be mistaken for a 'miracle' cure for wrinkles.

Expert clinical facialist Kate Kerr demystifies the process: "Collagen works from the inside out, supporting skin hydration, elasticity and texture, while providing the building blocks your skin needs to regenerate effectively. What makes collagen such a powerful companion skincare and clinic treatment is its ability to 'switch on' fibroblasts-the skin's own collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid factories. When your skin is well-supported internally, it's primed to respond more efficiently to treatments, often leading to stronger results and faster recovery."

Kerr also highlights the additional perks of collagen, saying, "I often describe collagen as a behind-the-scenes booster: not a replacement for skincare or professional treatments, but a potent enhancer that elevates everything else you're doing. Clients frequently notice additional benefits too, like stronger nails and glossier hair, which makes it a brilliant all-rounder."

Experts say the crème de la crème of collagen is hydrolysed collagen peptides, be it bovine or marine. These tiny powerhouses are optimised for your body to soak up more effectively. Truth be told, not every collagen supplement matches up, and some might not make any real difference. Steer clear of the ones with lists of ingredients that leave you guessing, including nebulous terms like "collagen complex" or "beauty matrix". Also dodge those skimpy on quantities – 500mg or less just won't cut it.
