Amanda and Alan spoke exclusively to The Sun’s TV Mag
The duo are going to be joined by a whole host of stars from stage, screen and music, including the cast of Starlight Express, Britain’s Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas, Sir Elton John and Ted Lasso’s Ellie Taylor.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun’s TV Mag, Amanda and Alan, 48, shared their excitement over the Royal Variety Performance, but Amanda did admit to a few concerns.
The star – who is known for her glamorous but risque outfits as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent – said: “My outfit is definitely glamorous – hopefully nobody complains to Ofcom!”
It wouldn’t be the first time Amanda’s garments have caused viewers to run raging to Ofcom, as a dress she wore on Britain’s Got Talent in 2017 sparked nearly 700 complaints.
The £11,000 Julien McDonald dress had a deep V neckline showcasing her cleavage, while the back was also completely open.
Alan seemed to reference the outfit as he joked to TV Mag: “Mine’s backless, frontless, tasteless… you can’t be in Uggs when you’re hosting with Amanda!”
In the end, Amanda opted for a stunning metallic strapless gown which featured a statement winged neckline and a column skirt.
But it possibly came with it’s own challenges as the pair discussed their curtsying in front of the Royals.
Amanda said: “We’ll both go low if we get the chance.”
But Alan replied: “You might not be able to in your outfit!
To which Amanda responded: “Can you imagine if I fell out?”
It then prompted an embarrassing memory for Amanda from her time performing the lead in theatre show, Thoroughly Modern Millie.
She recalled a moment where she was speaking to the then leader of the Conservative Party – William Hague – when she had a wardrobe malfunction.
She said: “He was chatting away, looking me straight in the eye, and one of my boobs was hanging out!
“Nothing will be falling out at the Royal Variety!”
What to expect from Royal Variety Performance 2024
By Kate Noble
TV Mag was kindly invited to attend the biggest night on the entertainment calendar by The Royal Variety Charity, and what a night it was.
There is literally something for everyone, from music to comedy, magicians to lavish West End productions.
Stephen Mulhern’s magic act – with plenty of laughs thrown in for good measure – put even Penn & Teller in the shade.
The Comedy About Spies, from the people behind The Play That Goes Wrong, was the comic highlight, closely followed by Larry Dean’s stand-up routine, which had people rolling in the aisles.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor brought the disco, while Marisha Wallace belted out the Dreamgirls classic And I Am Telling You – and held that note to perfection.
If you’re a fan of musical theatre, you’re in for a treat, especially the numbers from the brand new production of Oliver!, which had everyone singing along. The acrobatics displayed by Cirque Du Solieil were jaw-dropping, while The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy from The English National Ballet’s Nutcracker was truly mesmerising.
Of course, the show ended on a high, with Marti Pellow and Lorraine Kelly leading the Change And Check Choir in a rousing rendition of Love Is All Around.
Let Christmas commence!
