Amanda Holden has shocked her followers by recreating an infamous scene from cult favourite thriller and mystery film Basic Instinct.<\/p>\n

The radio presenter and Britain’s Got Talent judge shared a post to her Instagram profile on Thursday (29 October) with her 3.1 million followers.<\/p>\n

In it, there was a side-by-side video of her sitting on a black sofa in a long-sleeved white dress, with a pen prop as a cigar and sporting slick straight hair.<\/p>\n

Along with the caption: “Some Call it Basic instinct, I call it outfit of the day”, Amanda<\/a> is seen crossing her legs to mimic the scene in the film<\/a> involving Catherine, played by Sharon Stone.<\/p>\n

She is then heard saying: “It’s nice?” in time with the original 1992 movie clip.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to respond to the video, which went on to document her time in the Heart radio studio as she complimented the shape of the dress.<\/p>\n

The 1992 thriller centres on author Catherine, played by Stone, who becomes a suspect after the brutal murder of a rock star.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, detective Nick Curran – played by Michael Douglas – is brought in to help the case but ends up getting into an affair with the prime suspect instead.<\/p>\n

The movie was a hit, but certainly didn’t shy away from explicit content.<\/p>\n

This included the scene remade by Holden, in which Catherine is seen crossing her legs with no underwear on while being questioned by detectives.<\/p>\n

At the time of its release, women’s rights groups also protested the film over its negative depiction of women, with a branch of The National Organisation for Women calling the film ‘the most blatantly misogynistic film in recent memory.’<\/p>\n

It was later revealed in 2021 that Stone said she had been tricked<\/a> into removing her underwear by director Paul Verhoeven.<\/p>\n

In a piece for Vanity Fair<\/a> she explained how she became aware of the scene after watching it in a room \u2018full of agents and lawyers, most of whom had nothing to do with the project\u2019.<\/p>\n

She recalled: “That was how I saw my vagina-shot for the first time, long after I\u2019d been told, ‘We can\u2019t see anything – I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on’.”<\/p>\n

She later claimed she had lashed out at Verhoeven by slapping him ‘across the face’ before calling her lawyer.<\/p>\n

Following publication of the article, Verhoeven responded and said his recollection of the incident was different.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Deadline<\/a>, he said: \u201cShe didn\u2019t slap me at all. My memory is that [that scene] is all based on a woman that I met when I was a student in Leiden, at the university.<\/p>\n

“She would do that: she would come up to us and she would open her legs. My friend and I saw her doing that, so went up to her and said something like, \u2018We can see your vagina\u2019. And then she said, \u2018Of course – that\u2019s why I\u2019m doing it!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI told that story to Sharon when we were having dinner together during the shoot, and she thought it would be great idea to do that. So, that\u2019s my memory.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Holden has shocked her followers by recreating an infamous scene from cult favourite thriller and mystery film…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":818302,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[7117,830,96,59,14913,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-818301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-amanda-holden","tag-celebrity","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-tv-and-film","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/818302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
