Amanda said she was 'euphoric' about her return to the judging panel yesterday and the crowd seemed to share her feeling, instantly erasing the memory of unpopular stand-in Carmen Electra.
The 40-year-old looked in great shape courtesy of some well chosen clothes and signed autographs for the crowd outside The Festival Theatre in Scotland.

According to The Sun, audience members started chanting, 'Bring back Amanda!' in front of Carmen.

A source told the Daily Mirror: 'There was a lot of really loud, angry noise directed at Carmen.
'It was getting difficult for the microphones to pick up what was going on between the judges and the acts. Carmen was clearly getting anxious about it, too.
