ITV Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden admits 'big lie' she told to secure movie role
Amanda Holden has been a familiar face on British TV screens for nearly three decades, but it turns out that the Britain's Got Talent judge has been bending the truth to bag roles for just as long Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has confessed to telling "a big lie" to land a part in the 2001 film The Hunt. The 54 year old portrayed Sarah Campbell in the movie, which is characterised on YouTube as: "A story of love, sex, seduction and violent death, set against the backdrop of a battle amongst the hunting fraternity." During Wednesday's Heart Radio Breakfast Show, her colleague Jamie Theakston revealed he had bought Amanda's 2013 autobiography, No Holding Back, and quizzed her on how much she recalled from it. As he leafed through the book, he remarked: "You mentioned that you got a job on the show called The Hunt, and that you told a big lie on your CV." Amanda vividly recollected the fib, interjecting: "Yes, that I could horse ride," reports Plymouth Live. Jamie confirmed with: "And that is the right answer." Reflecting on the experience, Amanda recounted having to "canter along the South Downs" despite her lack of equestrian skills, but claimed she's much improved since then. After Jamie playfully pressed the buzzer to suggest she was incorrect, Amanda retorted in jest: "How dare you!" She elaborated: "I can ride a horse now, I had to canter along the South Downs where Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was filmed, I filmed in that village." In No Holding Back, Amanda was candid about her professional journey and personal life, including insights into her first marriage to TV personality Les Dennis. The former pair, who first met in 1993 during a staging of The Sound of Music, wed in Bournemouth two years on. Their marriage ended after eight years when Amanda's affair with Neil Morrissey hit the headlines. The broadcaster has since remarried talent manager Chris Hughes and they have two teenage daughters together. In conversation with Jamie, Amanda expressed her desire to pen another autobiography covering recent events in her life. "I actually wrote that biography myself," she revealed. "Lots of celebrities can't say that and it got to number eight in The Times' bestsellers. "I feel like there's a second part that should be coming," Amanda hinted, prompting Jamie to enquire: "Is there?" She responded: "Well, don't you think? My life from 2013 to now, the stuff I could write Jamie Theakston!" Jamie then joked that the book only cost him £2.50, leading Amanda to quip: "Yeah, probably now, it's in the bargain bucket isn't it?", before encouraging listeners to purchase it. Britain's Got Talent returns tonight (Saturday, May 24) at 7pm on ITV.

Amanda Holden takes brutal swipe at Holly Willoughby live on Heart radio show
Amanda Holden couldn't resist having a cheeky dig at her former This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby while discussing the renewal of her Netflix series Cheat: Unfinished Business on her Heart Radio Breakfast Show. Amanda Holden couldn't help but throw a playful jab at her ex-This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby while discussing the possibility of a second season for her Netflix series Cheat: Unfinished Business on Wednesday. On Heart Radio Breakfast Show, hosted alongside Jamie Theakston, 54-year-old Amanda spoke about rumours circulating of her and Paul C Brunson's show being renewed. She said: "Well, yesterday I read in the paper that we are doing another series, but I don't know for sure." Her sidekick Jamie cheekily fuelled speculation, asking: "What are they suggesting, they getting Holly Willoughby?" Amanda appeared taken aback, retorting: "I... what? !" but then added with a laugh: "No, they want a proper presenter." Jamie replied: "You're going to get in trouble for that!", but Amanda quipped back: "No one's listening." Both presenters have strong connections to ITV's This Morning which Holly was previously the long-standing host of until she left in 2023 after a 14-year run, the Mirror reports. Amanda has also hosted This Morning on various occasions, notably stepping in for Holly during her maternity breaks, often presenting with Phillip Schofield. Referring to his time working with Amanda, Phillip previously told Heat Magazine: "She has a faulty edit button and she forgets she's on the telly, which is enormously endearing and funny, but occasionally quite scary." While Amanda stated she enjoyed her stint on the show but it appears her relationship with Phillip experienced some tension in subsequent years. At the time, there were rumours suggesting Phillip had requested to co-host the show with Rochelle Humes rather than Amanda, though these claims were rebutted by ITV. Back in 2019, Amanda hinted on Heart Radio that her friendship with her fellow presenter had cooled during a light-hearted game when she listed three things she wouldn't want in her house - '"Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield" She also mentioned attempting to reach out to Phillip for a candid chat over a cup of coffee, but he allegedly never got back to her. Jumping to 2023, Amanda faced allegations of snubbing Holly in an Instagram video. After Phillip's scandalous departure, Holly opened her show with a genuine query, asking viewers: "Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so." Shortly afterwards, Amanda posted a video on social media showcasing a sleek white jumpsuit, remarking: "Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?" Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Amanda Holden issued warning as she fires brutal swipe at Holly Willoughby live on air
Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden was previously accused of taking a swipe at Holly Willoughby in 2023, following Phillip Schofield's This Morning departure, but she denied this was the case Amanda Holden couldn't resist taking a swipe at her former This Morning colleague Holly Willoughby, when discussing her Netflix series Cheat: Unfinished Business on Wednesday. On her and Jamie Theakston's Heart Radio Breakfast Show, the 54-year-old addressed reports about her and Paul C Brunson's show being commissioned for a second series. She shared: "Well, yesterday I read in the paper that we are doing another series, but I don't know for sure." Her co-host Jamie cheekily stirred things up, asking: "What are they suggesting, they getting Holly Willoughby?". Caught off guard, Amanda responded incredulously: "I... what?!", quickly followed with a laugh and the comment: "No, they want a proper presenter." Jamie replied: "You're going to get in trouble for that!", to which Amanda said playfully: "No one's listening." Both television personalities have previous ties to ITV's This Morning. Holly, 44, was a staple on the show up until her departure in 2023 after 14 years. Amanda has also fronted the show several times, most notably alongside Phillip Schofield when she filled in for Holly during her maternity leave. Reflecting on their past collaboration, Phillip said of working with Amanda to Heat Magazine: "She has a faulty edit button and she forgets she's on the telly, which is enormously endearing and funny, but occasionally quite scary." Amanda said she enjoyed working on the show, though things between her and Phillip seemed to take a turn a few years later. At the time, it was suggested that Phillip had asked to present the show with Rochelle Humes instead of Amanda, though ITV refuted these claims. Back in 2019, Amanda appeared to confirm that she and her fellow presenter were no longer friends. During a playful game on Heart Radio about three things she didn't want to find in her home, she quipped: "Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield." Later, she said she had reached out to Phillip for a heart-to-heart over coffee, but claimed he didn't respond. Fast forward to 2023, and Amanda was accused of throwing shade at Holly in an Instagram video. Returning to her presenting duties after Phillip's exit, Holly started her broadcast in a heartfelt manner, saying: "Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so." Not long after, Amanda used her social media to flaunt a chic white jumpsuit in a video. She began: "Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?". With a grin, she added: "I'm wearing this gorgeous white jumpsuit. It's been in my wardrobe for ages and I've been dying to wear it because the weather's got better and I can." Amanda later shut down suggestions that she was poking fun at Holly, stating firmly: "Sadly strong and intelligent women have for far too long been pitted against one other when we should all be celebrated in our own right. "Women are still expected to say nothing, suffer silently and just get on with it. And we do... mostly."
