Amanda Holden, Sarah Parish, Lisa Faulkner and Angela Griffin glam up as they celebrate 25 years of friendship during annual Christmas girls’ trip… before enjoying a pyjama party
They often share snaps from their girls’ get togethers after forming a firm friendship on noughties TV sitcom, Cutting It.
And over the weekend, Amanda Holden, Sarah Parish, and Angela Griffin were documenting their latest jaunt as they celebrated 25 years of friendship during an annual Christmas bash at Estelle Manor country club and hotel.
The stars were joined on the trip by Lucy Gaskell, who starred with Amanda, Sarah and Angela in the show, as well as Lisa Faulkner, and Emmerdale star Nicola Stephenson, who played Tess Harris in the soap from 2015 to 2016.
Amanda, 52, was sure to put on a showstopping display in an elegant off-the-shoulder gown while Lisa, 51, wowed in a slinky black number.
Sarah, 55, looked incredible in a dazzling two-piece comprising a skirt and blazer with a cami underneath, however she later transformed the look by slipping into checked pyjamas alongside Amanda, in a hilarious snap from the trip.

The weekends have become a yearly tradition for the longtime group of friends to spend the December weekend together after years of friendship.
Last year, the group enjoyed bespoke cocktails and a dinner cooked by Michelin- trained private chef Euan Peach while the previous year they escaped to a luxury location in West Sussex to enjoy their girls’ trip.
Sarah, 55, later slipped into checked pyjamas alongside Amanda, in a hilarious snap from the trip.
