Amanda Holden is "so excited" to have been appointed Christmas Ambassador for Baylis + Harding.

The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge will star the bath and body product company's new festive advert and has also developed her own 'Amanda's A-list' selection, her personally-selected 12 gift sets based on what would bring her and her family joy.

She said in a statement: “Christmas can never come soon enough for me each year and we’re already playing the festive music in our house! I’ve always loved the build up to Christmas, especially hiding gifts and enjoying the magic of spending extra quality time with family, friends and loved ones.

"I’m so excited to be Baylis + Harding’s Christmas Ambassador this year and featuring in their festive advert! I’ve tried all the products and can’t wait to share my A-List, featuring my favourite gifts and beautiful fragrances which are perfect for spreading joy with your loved ones this Christmas and beyond.”

Amanda's A-List includes The Fuzzy Duck Winter Wonderland Gingerbread Ceramic House Gift Set - which features a limited-edition Gingerbread Fudge-scented handwash - as well as the Midnight Fig + Pomegranate Delux Wash Bag, which has a velour finish and features the limited-edition fragrance, and the lavishly-packaged Sweet Mandarin + Grapefruit Pamper Present Gift Set.

The Wellness Luxury Pamper Tin Gift Set - which is exclusive to Sainsbury's and features a ginger, lime and basil leaf fragrance - is also one of the Heart Breakfast host's picks for the festive season.

Tania Slater, co-owner of Baylis + Harding, said: “Christmas at Baylis + Harding is one of our favourite times of year, and we’re excited to work with Amanda as this year’s joy-filled gifting ambassador, who we know shares our passion for all things Christmas.

“It’s this joy, that we wanted to really capture in this year’s gifting range including Amanda’s A-List ensuring that each and every one of our gifts captures everything magical about the festive season and brings a feeling of joy to as many people as possible.

“As our ambassador Amanda embodies the generosity of spirit that’s associated with our brand, and we know she really resonates with our Baylis + Harding consumers. We’re looking forward to working with her on our exciting plans for Christmas and beyond.”
