Amanda Holden, Ashley Roberts, and Jamie Theakston transformed into characters from Mary Poppins as they celebrated World Book Day. As they arrived for their Heart Breakfast show on Thursday, the trio stirred up nostalgia in the hearts of their audience by dressing up as characters from P.L Travers's 1964 film.

The iconic "Jolly Holiday" scene was their chosen backdrop, where Bert (played by Dick Van Dyke) and Mary (portrayed by Julie Andrews) enter a dream-like fantasy world filled with an array of animals, from geese and pigs to a penguin serving as a waiter.

Amanda Holden dazzled in Mary's attire, donning a cream-colored gown with a white and red lace-up corset. She paired the dress with a hat featuring a scarf tie and a lace sun umbrella, completing the look with a touch of elegance. Jamie Theakston embodied Bert in a white and red striped suit with a blue satin bowtie, a boater hat, and a wooden cane. Ashley Roberts went outside the box by dressing as the penguin waiter, wearing a fluffy hooded penguin costume with fuzzy gloves and leg warmers.

The trio was joined by Amanda's dogs Minnie and Rudie, who were also dressed in penguin costumes to complete their look for the day. This celebration came after Amanda Holden's show Britain's Got Talent, which she judges alongside Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and KSI, continued to shed viewers this weekend. The show has hit a new all-time low, amid rumors that the long-running series could even be axed.
