ALAN Carr and Amanda Holden have been spotted by eagle eyed Olive Press readers filming for an upcoming television series around Andalucia.

As well as filming the Christmas lights in Malaga, the British TV presenters have also been spotted filming in various Granada watering holes and on the famous Sierra Nevada slopes.

Our exclusive photos show them having fun during a visit to the Hannigan and Sons Irish pub in Granada city.

They were in town on various occasions this year, revealed barman Paddy, who served their drinks while filming for their new show Alan & Amanda’s Spanish Job.

Another trip saw them heading up to the Sierra Nevada ski resort in late Spring, organised by Olive Press clients the British Ski Centre.

“We sorted everything out for them and they were really grateful,” explained boss Giles Birch. “They actually sent us a lovely thank-you video for our kids.”

The most recent trip saw them wrap up the show with a big party at a secret inland location, while they were also seen jumping up and down and dancing while enjoying the iconic Christmas lights show on Calle Larios, in Malaga.

Comedian Carr, 48, and Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda, 53, won over viewers yet again this year with the latest season of their hit show Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job.

It was so successful the BBC recommissioned a new season of the show in Spain.

The concept of the show sees them buying a cheap but charming wreck of a home in inland Andalucia and then spending the year doing it up before finally selling it, giving the proceeds to childrens’ charities.
