Amanda Holden will strip totally naked for her new TV show.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge gets down to her birthday suit to play the role of Cleopatra in the bath for five-part series 'Sex: A Bonkers History', which she will front alongside Dan Jones in September.
The five-part Sky History show will use archive footage and drama reconstruction to reveal all on the best unknown sex stories of the last 2,500 years, with Amanda, 52, stripping off to enjoy a candlelit bath, sporting Cleopatra's famous dark braids.
In a clip obtained by The Sun online, Amanda said from the bath: "History on the whole has been written by men.
"So sorry Cleopatra, despite all your accomplishments, your savvy political manoeuvring and incredible intellect, you'll forever be remembered as the woman who boked her way to the top."
The show will look at how attitudes towards sex have evolved, from the first contraceptives used in ancient Egypt to the swinging 70s in suburbia, via the sexually-progressive Victorian era and the sexual cravings of the Tudors.
Amanda - who will also dress as Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Charlotte, Queen Victoria, and Marilyn Monroe for the series - teased: “Believe me when I say our generation knows nothing about sex compared to the debauched antics of our ancestors.
“My goodness, I’ve really had my eyes opened, and had a real laugh, during the filming of this brilliant new series.
“I have left it to Dan Jones to get his hands dirty whilst I’ve been on the side-lines as a very entertained voyeur.”
