Amanda Holden and Alan Carrs Fun Night Out

and her best pal were in a jovial mood as they left The Ivy restaurant in London on Tuesday.

The TV presenter, 55, looked incredible for the night out as she stepped out in a black leather knee-length dress with a scooped neckline.

The garment highlighted the star's incredible figure and she added height to her frame with a pair of heels.

Letting her blonde locks fall loose down her shoulders, Amanda completed her look with a black clutch bag. 

Alan, 49, sported an eye-catching red blazer and trousers which he wore with a black and red polka dot shirt and brown shoes.

He said of the purchase: 'Some men when they have a midlife crisis buy a Lamborghini or grow a ponytail, but me - I want my very own castle. 

'Since I was a boy in Northampton, I've always dreamt big, and have always been enchanted with the history and romance of a stately home.

'As I turn 50, I feel it's time, all I want is a turret to call my own — get me over that drawbridge.'

The renovation series, which has the working title Castle Man, is set to take on a similar set-up to his show with Amanda Holden. 

The show is reportedly being produced by Expectation, the same company responsible for .

He said: 'I'm in my turret era. I want a castle and I'm 50. I'm not going to be around forever. I think 50, I just want to do what I want to do.

'I've always wanted a castle. I'm a baron. I'm going to get my own tartan.'
