Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden joked she 'couldn't keep away' from the programme's 2024 winner Sydnie Christmas as they enjoyed lunch in Corfu.
Amanda, 53, and powerhouse singer Sydnie, 29, have both been holidaying with their families on the Greek island, but neither realised the other was there.
In an Instagram video, Sydnie told her over 100,000 followers: 'Got to Corfu. And, she's only gone and followed me,' panning the camera over to an unsuspecting Amanda.
Amanda laughed in surprise and declared: 'Couldn't keep away!' before rushing to put on her sunglasses after insisting she looked 'rank'.
Sydnie jokingly echoed: 'Couldn't keep away!' before she added of Amanda: 'And she's brought her mate,' panning the camera to Alan Carr.

Sydnie captioned the video: 'What are the odd eyy (sic).' And followed the words with the flag of Greece and a white heart.
The musical theatre star captioned the photo of her and Amanda: 'Holiday in Greece. Lunch with the best company @noholdenback.'
On June 2, Sydnie became the seventeenth winner of Britain's Got Talent, scooping the £250,000 prize money and a slot at the Royal Variety Show.
Sydnie and Amanda's meet up comes after Amanda delighted her 2.3million Instagram followers on Thursday as she showed off her impossibly long legs.
The television and radio presenter stunned in a form-fitting orange swimming costume emblazoned with the single word Spritz as she posed for her latest social media content.
She held a glass of Aperol spritz as a nod to her bathing suit and she relaxed beneath black sunglasses as she rested an arm behind her head.
Amanda was joined by close friend Alan Carr, who inadvertently photobombed Amanda by appearing directly behind her as she reclined on the deck of a rented yacht.
The photo with Alan - who hosts Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job with Amanda - was relegated to the second slide of Amanda's post.

But, Alan played his accidental appearance for laughs by sharing the photos with and without him to his Instagram followers, titling them 'Insta!' and 'Reality!'
The post is just the latest in a series of stunning snaps shared by Amanda as she unwinds in Greece with Alan and her daughters Lexi, 18, and Hollie, 12.
Here's a look back at some of Amanda's sexiest swimwear shots so far from her holiday to the Greek island of Corfu.
Day 1: Azure-ing Amanda
Amanda's first post from her luxury break came on July 22 - and she started with a bang.
The radio presenter looked sensational in a floral blue bandeau bikini and a matching cover-up.
She held the brim of a straw cowboy hat and grinned in a pair of black sunglasses.
Amanda sat on the edge of a boat before she naughtily inspected beneath her bikini bottoms.
With her outfit choice, Amanda ensured all eyes were on her much like when she stunned on each night of the Britain's Got Talent live finals in June.
She accesorised with a dainty gold necklace and a number of thin gold braclets.
Amanda captioned her post: 'GR #bikini hat and shirt @melissaodabash #family'.

Day 5: Party Animal
Four days later, Amanda soaked up the sun in a tiny pink bikini for a slew of sizzling snaps draped over the back of a boat.
Her ample assets and toned stomach were on full display as she shielded her eyes from the sun with a pair of oversized sunglasses.
She caressed her hair and treated onlookers to a number of poses as she enjoyed being surrounded by water.
But, Amanda proved she was not just a pretty face when she shared an incredible video of her leaping off the boat she was so demurely posing on just seconds before.
Eagerly waiting for the cameraperson's go-ahead, Amanda ensured she made plenty of eye contact.
When she was ready, Amanda screamed and threw her arms out wide diving feet-first into the cool, welcoming water which lay beneath.

Day 6: Jungle Girl
On Corfu Day 6, Amanda left her fans feeling hot under the collar when she shared a video showing off her sensational physique in a light green bikini covered in palm leaves.
She struck a series of poses as she walked barefoot down a cobbled path whilst holding onto a straw cowboy hat.
As she wound during the stunning getaway, she found a matching kaftan, and promptly threw it off her shoulders
The star wrote over the video: 'If summer doesn't look like this, I don't want it' before captioning the whole post: 'Summertime and litres of #aperol'.
On both wrists, Amanda wore her favourite gold bracelets - including one from Van Cleef & Arpels worth thousands of pounds.
She set the video to viral song The Spark created by Irish and refugee children aged between 9 and 12, the music video for which has received over 10M streams to date.

Day 10: Saving The Best Till Last
Wednesday saw Amanda become the epitome of sophistication in an Elizabeth Hurley Beach black bikini.
The bikini, which had gold detailing, was tiny, giving Amanda the perfect opportunity to display her lithe figure.
She complemented the gold with pendant sun necklace and a choker of the same colour, in addition to her bracelets.
Amanda turned up the heat as she emerged soaking wet from a crystal-clear blue outdoor swimming pool.
She gave a glimpse of her toned bottom as she strutted along the very edge of the pool, surrounded by green foliage.
The icing on the cake of Amanda's sexiest post of the trip so far was a video of her lounging in a hot tub.

As well as Alan, Amanda was joined on the trip by actress Jane Wall, 51, best-known for portraying PC Di Worrell in police procedural The Bill from 1999 to 2002.
The family holiday comes after Lexi, who is signed to Storm Models, was admitted to hospital with life-threatening E. coli amid the latest outbreak.
Lexi was on a ward for five days with her mother and her father Chris, who did not appear to join his family in Corfu, at her bedside.
While discussing the warning signs to look out for amid the latest outbreak, Amanda revealed to The Sun that her daughter Lexi had been suffering from bloating and stomach cramps.
She said: 'For about three weeks, Lexi had been complaining of bloating and stomach cramps. She was not happy at all and in quite a lot of pain with her tummy.
'It was around the time of revision and her A-levels, so I was just putting this down to exam stress.'
However, Amanda admitted that after taking her daughter to her GP, who insisted on her doing some blood and stool samples, the results came back as a bacterial infection.
The star then revealed that while she was filming in Spain, she began to get calls from various government officials asking her to fill out several forms about where her daughter might have eaten and what kind of food they had stored in their home.
The star also confessed that the antibiotics her daughter was given didn't seem to be working and claimed her doctor called her saying 'I don't want to alarm you' before telling her Lexi's bloods were 'through the roof' and she was in danger of 'contracting sepsis'.
Amanda recalled how terrified she was to hear the word 'sepsis'.
She revealed that Lexi's was the 113th case of E. coli in the country in just two weeks - and that the doctor had warned them that this was just the tip of the iceberg
