Amanda Holden is already in the Christmas spirit, shocking fans on Monday as she revealed she has put her decorations up.
The star, 55, shared a look at the front of her £7million Surrey mansion bedecked with bauble-adorned foliage which flowed down to the driveway.
Inside the grand entrance hall, Amanda revealed she had had matching foliage installed up her sweeping staircase.
Meanwhile, the first of her many trees could be seen in the entranceway, decorated with green velvet bows and a huge golden reindeer.
An unapologetic Amanda told fans she has always loved Christmas and sees no harm in getting festive in November.
'I don’t think I’ll ever be able to explain quite what Christmas means to me,' she wrote in her Instagram caption.

'I was lucky enough to have a childhood full of love. We didn’t have much, but somehow Christmas always felt like we had everything.
'Even now, the decorations going up give me a lump in my throat. I’m straight back to being little, full of excitement and believing anything was possible. And for the record, I still believe in Father Christmas. Always have. Always will.'
Amanda thanked the 'lovely, down-to-earth' team at @kellylouisefloralartistry who spent Sunday 'transforming our home. Warm, funny, hardworking people who were an absolute joy to have around'.
She added: 'I paid for the installation, but I’ll always shout about good people doing brilliant things. And I absolutely love what they’ve created.'
She ended her post by declaring 'consider this fair warning. The Christmas content will be relentless. Feel free to mute me until January, but I’ll be reporting you directly to Santa'.
Hundreds of Amanda's followers gushed about her 'beautiful' decorations and thanked the star for 'setting the bar'.
But others pointed out that it is still 53 days until Christmas, with one commenting: 'Wow already. Its stunning but heck its 2nd Nov.'
'It’s lovely….but FAR TOO EARLY!!!' agreed another.

'It's November. I'm with Jamie,' said one more, referring to the debate Amanda had with her Heart Radio Breakfast co-host Jamie Theakston about her decorations on Monday morning's show.
Jamie told Amanda on air that he wasn't a fan of early decorating, explaining 'I feel we're losing Christmas, we've got to keep it special, no?'
One day before her big Christmas reveal, Amanda was in the Halloween spirit, causing a scare as she dressed up as axe murderer Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquitted of the murder of her own father and stepmother in 1893.
The Britain's Got Talent star donned a period dress covered in fake blood while holding an axe.
She was joined by her Heart Radio co-star Jamie, who was dressed as Lizzie's dad Andrew.
