Amanda Holden is expected to return to the Britain's Got Talent judging panel next week, it has been revealed.
The reality TV judge was only discharged from hospital earlier this week after a life-threatening childbirth with her second daughter Hollie.
However, Holden is apparently feeling "upbeat" and may be back filming the ITV1 talent show as soon as the Edinburgh auditions on February 11.
A friend of the TV star told PA: "It is fantastic how well she is recovering, and she is feeling upbeat and very happy. Amanda is overwhelmed by all the lovely messages she has received."
Holden missed auditions in Manchester, Blackpool and Cardiff following the birth. Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams have carried on with the tryouts without a replacement fourth judge.
Britain's Got Talent airs in the Spring on ITV1.
