Amanda Holden and Heart co-stars look terrifyingly incredible in sickening Halloween costumes

The Heart Breakfast Show hosts have an annual tradition of dressing up before Halloween, but this year, Amanda was without her co-host Jamie Theakston, who is taking a break after his cancer diagnosis

Amanda Holden and Heart co-stars looked terrifyingly incredible in their sickening Halloween costumes.

The 53-year-old was joined by her breakfast show co-hosts Ashley Roberts and Jason ‘JK’ King as they transformed into spooky characters inspired by the iconic 1988 movie Beetlejuice. The Tom Burton classic, starring Michael Keaton as the eponymous demon, has been given a new lease of life after the long-awaited sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was released last month.

Amanda and her co-hosts have an annual tradition of dressing up the Friday before Halloween, and this year, they didn’t disappoint. The mum-of-two was dressed as Lydia Deetz, and rocked a racy pair of red fishnet tights and a glamorous black wig as she paid homage to Winona Ryder ’s iconic teenage protagonist. JK was the legendary demon Beetlejuice, and looked incredible in his striped suit and green hair, with gruesome make-up on his face to finish the look.

However, many fans were stunned by Ashley Roberts’ transformation, as she was dressed as the character Miss Argentina, who in the original movie committed suicide after losing out on Miss World and worked on reception in the afterlife, greeting the newly dead. Her whole body was painted blue, and she wore a bright red wig and matching dress, while her make-up made her look as if she had been dead for decades.

“Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!” Amanda captioned the slideshow of snaps on Instagram, as her loyal fans were blown away. “This year you have really gone all out! Definitely one of the best!” one commented, as another added: “This is epic!”

Others were keen to know how early Amanda, JK and Ashley had to be at the Heart studios to have their make-up done, while others simply celebrated their iconic looks. “Happy Halloween looks insanely good,” one wrote, as another chimed in: “Ashley looks EXACTLY like the original actress.”

The Halloween Heart at Breakfast event was missing a special someone this year, as Amanda’s beloved co-host Jamie Theakston was recovering at home following his shock cancer diagnosis in September. Last year, Jamie transformed into Shaggy from Scooby Doo, while Amanda dressed up as Velma and Ashley became Daphne, but on Friday, JK stepped in for the absent host, who vowed to be back on the air soon.

Jamie, 53, was diagnosed with stage 1 laryngeal cancer since September, and revealed the disease was spotted by Heart listeners who noticed a change in his voice. He’s now undergoing treatment, and Amanda sent her love and support in an emotional message after news of his cancer was announced.

“He has told us that we have got to hold the fort and he has told us that the show must go on and absolutely that's what we're going to do,” she told listeners. We're going to do him proud. Him and Sophie and the boys, they're listening at home and I know after this announcement all of those listening are going to be sending your best wishes to our King.”
