Amanda Holden has enjoyed a family day out with her mum and daughter after making a subtle dig at Phillip Schofield.
The Britain's Got Talent judge, 52, looked gorgeous as she spent time with her lookalike family.
Amanda's mum Judith and daughter Lexi joined the presenter for a fun-filled lunch as they enjoyed chocolate cigars.
The three generations stunned as they wore classy outfits on their lunch date.
Amanda and Lexi both donned white blazers whilst Judith wore a pink ensemble with a large bow.

One said: "Gorgeous girl gang."
"These times are precious and we don’t realise how important they are until you can no longer experience them," added another.
"Such good jeans from mummy making you all look ridiculously beautiful," said a third, while a fourth fan commented: "Such a beautiful family."
She also posted a cheeky snap as she puffed on a chocolate cigar with her mum.
Amanda's post came just hours after she took to social media in an apparent swipe at Phillip Schofield.
The This Morning host announced on Saturday he had decided to step away from the programme following his ongoing fall-out with former best friend, Holly Willoughby.
Whilst Phil and Amanda previously fell out on the ITV daytime programme with reports suggesting he never wanted her to star alongside him.

In view of her 2 million followers, Amanda took to her Instagram Grid, sharing a bicep curl emoji, which is often used to show support and strength to people.
Her post which has raked up thousands of likes was soon flooded with comments, with former Coronation Street star Charlie Condou penning: "Exactly."
"I know what that's for," joked a second. A third commented: "No Holden back for sure, YES AMANDA!"
"Here's to strong women and men who try and move them on when they try and stand up to them. It’s been along time coming but thanks to karma," added another.
Amanda replaced Holly Willoughby when she was presenting I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! but Phillip had reportedly decided Rochelle Humes was the perfect fit.
But Amanda had already secured the gig, leaving Phillip furious.
At the time, a source told The Sun on Sunday: "Phillip actively campaigned for Rochelle Humes to get the job despite Amanda being more experienced — and having been told privately she'd got the gig.

Phil presented This Morning with Rochelle whilst Holly was in Australia (This Morning)"She feels Phil unfairly used his powers of persuasion. She was told he’d chosen Rochelle because she was easier to “manage” on air – and understandably that incensed her."
Speaking in 2019, Amanda explained to her radio co-host Jamie Theakston: "I've moved on from it, Jamie, you need to move on from it.
"I did offer to meet him for a coffee months ago, he didn't reply to my text. What can I say?"
In a statement, Phillip Schofield said: "I have always been proud to cover fascinating stories on This Morning. But recently, This Morning itself has become the story.
"Throughout my career in TV – including the very difficult last few days – I have always done my best to be honourable and kind. I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love.
"So I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future. I’d like to thank everyone who has supported me – especially This Morning’s amazing viewers – and I’ll see you all for the Soap Awards next month."
