Britain's Got Talent judge and Heart Radio's Amanda Holden issued a desperate plea to her go-to electrician, as she relayed the humorous story to listeners
Heart Radio presenter Amanda Holden has told fans about a humorous mix-up that she believes "could potentially be terrible" for her. Live on-air on Wednesday, her co-star Jamie Theakston asked if what she had done was "career-threatening" for her, to which she firmly replied: "Yes!".
Explaining the story, the 54-year-old said she recently had a camera installed in her garden to create a time-lapse of her garden project. Fitted by her trusted electrician Andy, she believed it wasn't going to be switched on until the coming Friday.
‌
After getting him round her house to sort another job however, he informed her that it had been live from the moment he fitted it in. Detailing the awkward moment, she said: "I get him round the other day because I needed something else putting up, and he goes, 'I'll have a look at what we're doing to make sure the angle is alright on that camera', he said, 'It's been going for the last couple of days'.
‌
"I went, 'I beg your pardon?!' He said, 'Oh yeah, I've downloaded the app', he said, 'I just need to make sure the angle is right'."
The Britain's Got Talent judge proceeded to ask Jamie: "Can you imagine what I've got up to in my garden in a couple of days?".
‌
After her co-star speculated about the concerning footage, Amanda confessed that since the camera was fitted, she had mowed the grass naked and had cheekily flashed her husband.
"I'm always naked in my back garden," she continued. "I've definitely been naked, and for a joke the other day, I was sorting something out in the garden and my husband waved at me from the bedroom window, and I flashed my boobs at him, because I thought this is funny and I went 'wahoo' [flashing] like that."
Amanda insisted that she had not only forgot about the camera due to it blending in with her drainpipe, but also didn't realise it was already live.
‌
What's more, is the electrician has access to the camera from his phone, as all footage is automatically downloaded to a file.
"I had no idea it was up, and now Andy is going to be reviewing this footage and I need it all deleted," she shared.
‌
"It exists! Naked lawnmowing and me flashing my boobs to my husband," she continued.
Jamie went on jokingly suggest that her naked antics would be brilliant for a show, to which she humorously agreed.
"I'd go [to] Netflix, Netflix can have it," she joked.
In the hope that her electrician was listening to the show, she issued an urgent plea, adding: "If Andy is listening, get round [to] my house! Delete [the footage from] Monday and Tuesday.
"And I'm not joking Andy, I need that camera turned off because I've got all the school mums coming round, and that is terrible."
