Amanda Holden was left shaken as she left Britain's Got Talent last night.
An over-zealous fan got "too close" to her as she was leaving the London Palladium following the BGT auditions.
She was bundled into a car by four burly security guards who leapt into action.
The scare comes as security surrounding the latest series of BGT has reportedly been stepped up amid fears of an acid attack.

It's been claimed security guards at the live auditions are on high alert following a spate of horrific acid attacks across London last year.
Security surrounding judges Simon Cowell , David Walliams , Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon as well as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly is also said to have been stepped up, according to the Daily Star.

A BGT fan at a recording this week tweeted that audience members were no longer allowed to take open bottles into the London Palladium.
They tweeted: “London Palladium are stopping people taking opened bottles of water/drink in, then they’re selling 500ml bottles of water to audience members for £2.50.
"Presumably due to risk of acid attacks? They didn’t do this a year ago.
"How sad they’ve decided to profit from the situation!”

A Britain’s Got Talent spokeswoman said: “We take the safety around the show very seriously.
“We continually review security procedures to ensure they meet our needs.”
