Amanda Holden in shock as she appears completely naked on breakfast show cameras
Amanda Holden questioned if she had 'forgotten her clothes' when she realised she looked completely naked on the breakfast show cameras on Thursday. The Heart Breakfast presenter, 54, joined her co-star Jamie Theakston for their usual weekday spot and had been wearing a peach strapless dress which was not visible in the shot. Welcoming their listeners, Amanda said: 'Good morning Mr Theakston! It is six-thirty, and I've just caught myself on the camera and don't you think I look naked this morning? Sat behind here.' Jamie replied: 'Do you know what? You are wearing clothes, aren't you?' Amanda clarified: 'I just looked and went 'what? Have I forgot to put my clothes on?'' 'It does look like that,' Jamie laughed. Welcoming their listeners, Amanda said: 'Good morning Mr Theakston! It is six-thirty, and I've just caught myself on the camera and don't you think I look naked this morning? Sat behind here' However, it would come as no surprise if Amanda was naked as the star is no stranger to flashing the flesh in the studios. In April 2024, she stripped naked during the Heart Breakfast Show. The confident star put every inch of herself on display as she removed her clothes for a life drawing session, that saw artists, as well as her radio co-hosts Jamie and Ashley Roberts have a go at drawing her. As Amanda dropped trousers on camera, Jamie explained: 'Slightly distracting... Amanda's in the corner of the studio without any clothes on - which is a first not for her of course - but the rest of us.' Ashley interjected: 'She looks amazing!' As Amanda was presented with the images of herself nude, she seemed delighted with the outcomes. Yet Jamie was quick to put an end to the bizarre segment as he called out 'can you put a top on because it's slightly distracting?!' The confident star put every inch of herself on display as she removed her clothes for a life drawing session, that saw artists, as well as her radio co-hosts Jamie and Ashley Roberts have a go at drawing her Amanda's appearance on her Heart Radio show comes after Britain's Got Talent sparked more Ofcom complaints after she and Alesha Dixon opted for 'revealing' dresses to close out the series. Viewers watched the remaining acts battle it out for the top spot and saw magician Harry Moulding win a chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance and £250,000 last Saturday night (31 May 2025). However, what got people talking were judges Amanda and 46-year-old Alesha's outfits. According to The Mirror, telly regulator Ofcom received 72 complaints over their ensembles. The publication was told that they were deemed 'too revealing for a family show'. Amanda looked incredible as she donned a white floor-length gown with a plunging neckline. The star scraped her hair back in an elegant, slick bun and opted for a smoky eye for the final show. Meanwhile, Alesha rocked a sheer glittery shirt dress with a black bra and matching underwear. It comes after Amanda defiantly hit back at Ofcom complaints over her daring outfits. The judge often steals the limelight on the long-running ITV show with her very glamorous outfits. She is known for sporting some bold ensembles while taking to the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Alesha, and Bruno Tonioli. Her looks have raised eyebrows and have sparked more than 1,000 Ofcom complaints over the years, but Amanda has now firmly brushed off the criticism. Amanda said she works closely with her stylist on creating each look and insisted she loves every single outfit she has worn on the show since its launch in 2007. She told Closer magazine: 'What you see on TV, I really love. 'I'm always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I'm never worried. 'I think people should have fun with fashion!' It is not the first time Amanda has defended her fashion choices in the talent competition after coming under fire from some viewers. In 2022, she said: 'Fashion is about taking risks. I encourage everyone to have a little fun and be a little daring. I'd be bored playing it safe.'

Amanda Holden appears NAKED on radio just days after Ofcom complaints over BGT dress
AMANDA Holden has stunned radio fans after appearing to turn up to work completely naked. The star looked totally nude on the live stream of Heart FM's Breakfast Show - and it even left her co-host Jamie Theakston doing a double take. 5 Amanda 's wardrobe faux pas came just 24 hours after it was revealed both hers and Alesha Dixon 's risqué dresses from the Britain's Got Talent Live Final had sparked Ofcom complaints. Sitting in her DJ hot seat on Thursday morning, Amanda looked across at a monitor for the live stream and admitted: "Good morning, Mr Theakston. "It is 6.30am and I've just caught myself on the camera and don't you think I look naked this morning? Sat behind here?" Stuttering, Jamie replied: "Do you know what... You are wearing clothes, aren't you?" Laughing, Amanda told her co-host: "I just looked and went, 'What? Have I forgotten to put my clothes on?'" With her blonde hair loose around her shoulders, it did look as though Amanda, 54, was in the buff. The only thing visible was a chunky string of pearls around her neck featuring a gold heart. But Amanda was in fact wearing clothes. The glam mum-of-two was pictured outside Global's studios in London after the show had finished in a pale pink strapless dress made of suede. Her figure-hugging frock fell at the knee and Amanda had teamed it with nude court shoes and a matching handbag. Britain's Got Talent fans hit out at judge during live final as they rage 'what is he doing-' She also popped on a pair of sunglasses, despite the wet weather in the capital. The Sun revealed on Wednesday how ITV had been hit with a flurry of complaints following the BGT final. Television watchdog Ofcom received 96 complaints in total about the live finale - with 72 relating to Amanda and Alesha's skin-baring dresses. Amanda chose to wear a long, white gown with dramatic cowl neck for the telly extravaganza - and had just a very skimpy bra underneath. Alesha, meanwhile, wore a sheer floor-length dress that gave fans of the show a good look at her underwear. At the time, one viewer had complained on X: "Love the show, but what a shame that Amanda and Alesha have to dress like they are going to some special nightclub." Another fumed: "Catching up on #BGT and what is Amanda wearing? Not really appropriate for a family show." A third compared Amanda's dress to a "tea towel". The remaining complaints were about language used by Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell, the winner of the competition Harry Moulding, and Joseph Charm's act. Amanda is no stranger to baring the flesh and deliberately chooses outfits that show off her incredible figure. Speaking to The Sun at the BGT premiere, she cackled: "I constantly scroll through Instagram when I'm on car journeys and bombard my stylist with loads of ideas. "It's thigh splits and cleavage. "I have a whole 't*t committee' [in the production team] that watches everything [to prevent 'accidents']." 5

Jamie Theakston reveals he told Beyoncé to 'leave him alone' after she tried to set him up with Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland backstage at Top Of The Pops
Jamie Theakston has revealed Beyoncé once tried to set him up with her Destiny's Child bandmate and close friend Kelly Rowland backstage at Top Of The Pops. The British broadcaster, 54, who presented the BBC music show between 1997 and 2003, recalled telling the songstress to 'leave him alone' amid her matchmaking. On Monday, Jamie left co-hosts Amanda Holden and Ashley Roberts ' their 'jaws on the floor' as he reflected on 'how different his life could have been' if he and Kelly had paired up, during his Heart Breakfast Show. While Amanda was blown away by the 'name drop' Ashley was convinced he must be 'joking' before begging for more details. Jamie told said: 'Destiny's Child were on Top of The Pops and I was chatting to Beyoncé and she said 'are you single?'''. 'I can't remember how it came about and she said, 'oh, Kelly's single, you two would make a fantastic…' and I went 'oh stop it!' And I was like 'stop it Beyoncé, leave me alone"'. The British broadcaster recalled telling the songstress to 'leave him alone' as she tried her best at matchmaking (L-R) Michelle Williams, Kelly, Beyoncé on Top Of The Pops in 2002) Despite the Beyoncé best efforts Jamie married Sophie Siegle in 2007 and together the couple share sons Sidney, 17, and Kit, 16. Meanwhile Kelly, 44, wed talent manager Tim Wetherspoon in 2014 and they are also parents to two sons Titan, ten, and four-year-old Noah. MailOnline have contacted Beyoncé's reps for comment. It comes after Jamie revealed he initially kept his possible cancer diagnosis a secret from beloved wife Sophie for weeks as they enjoyed a family holiday to Japan. The TV host, who is now cancer free, said he was so blindsided by the news he worked hard to 'suppress it' in order to enjoy the trip with their sons. Jamie announced he had been diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer in October 2024 after listeners had noticed there was something not right with his voice. It's cancer is a type of cancer that affects the larynx (voice box). Speaking on the latest episode of Davina McCall 's Begin Again podcast, Jamie explained that he had to undergo emergency scans just hours before boarding a plane for their long-awaited family trip. 'I didn't tell anyone. At that stage, I thought, well, it might not be cancer. So there's no point really in saying anything,' he said. 'I just tried to suppress it. All I could think was, it's probably not.' It wasn't until the biopsy results came back that the cancer diagnosis was confirmed. 'I then had to go home and tell my wife,' he said. 'She was distraught.' 'I went on holiday with this in the back of my mind, We had a fantastic time - but obviously, this was there in the background.' Breaking the news to his sons, he said, was the hardest part: 'I had to explain to them that I was going to be fine, but they were too young to understand. When you say you've got cancer to a 14-year-old, they think you're going to die'. 'My youngest son had been with me when I was told my mum had died of cancer, so he knew what it meant.' Jamie lost his mum in late 2022. 'I was so pleased that she had died before I got cancer,' he said. 'I would've hated for her to know. I'm not sure what that would've done to her. During the chat he recalled how listeners noticed his voice had changed: People mentioned my voice wasn't sounding right,' he said. 'And I knew it wasn't right myself, but you just think - sore throat, nothing serious.' But a visit to a throat specialist changed everything. 'He looked at my throat and said, 'Oh yeah, that's probably cancer' I said 'What do you mean?' And he said 'Nine times out of ten, it is cancer and we need to get you scanned now.'' After his initial surgery, doctors feared some cancerous cells may have been left behind, prompting a second, and eventually a third operation. 'We were getting dangerously close to removing so much of the vocal cord that I wouldn't be able to talk again,' he reflected. But the third surgery was successful, and in January this year, Jamie triumphantly returned to Heart Breakfast alongside co-host Amanda Holden - whom he credits with getting him through it. 'Amanda was incredible,' he said. 'She checked in on me nonstop. She kept the show going. She's a force of nature.' The TV host, who is now cancer free, said he was so blindsided by the news he worked hard to 'suppress it' in order to enjoy the trip with their sons (pictured 2018) Now cancer-free, Jamie says his recent health ordeal has dramatically transformed his outlook on life. 'It's been a real gift. Often when bad things happen to us, there are good things to take from it. And I really do feel that I am a better person because of what I've been through. 'I hope it'll make me a better parent. Maybe it might make me a better broadcaster. It certainly feels like it made me a better person.' Indeed, he's not wasting time. 'Before cancer, I was very analogue - I had a Filofax. Now I'm digital. My calendar is packed for weeks ahead. I'll say to people, "Let's book a golf weekend in 2027." I just want to plan everything, because I can.' Though he says he never truly believed he would die, the gravity of what might have been has left a lasting impression. 'I look back and think about when you tell your children you've got cancer, and what that might mean, to then telling them you don't have cancer anymore, and what that might mean, and all of a sudden, you see your future ahead of you.'

Jamie Theakston in tears as he talks of cancer struggle
Jamie Theakston in tears as he talks of cancer struggle Jamie Theakston has emotionally opened up about his battle with laryngeal cancer, as he told Davina McCall of the 'huge shock' he felt upon receiving the diagnosis Jamie Theakston (Image: Alan Chapman/) Jamie Theakston has candidly revealed his struggle with laryngeal cancer in a heartfelt conversation with Davina McCall. The broadcaster from Heart Radio, at 54, was diagnosed with an aggressive variety of the disease last September, having initially thought his persisting sore throat was nothing serious. Miraculously, Jamie has successfully beaten cancer, following multiple operations to extract a malignant growth from his vocal cords. Yet, during a recent episode of the Begin Again podcast, he reflected on how stark and unexpected the diagnosis was amidst plans for a family vacation. Searching for words, he described the moment: "So, when I got my cancer diagnosis, it came as such a huge shock to me because it was so surprising, like there was no... it just came as such a broadside because... so, I'd had this sore throat for a while, and we were about to go on holiday. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . "We're going to, we're off to Japan. In fact, I think we were meant to be flying to Japan that day and my wife said, 'You should go and see someone before we go, just to get some antibiotic to clear up your throat'." In a turn of events, Jamie sought advice from a specialist who, despite being 'lovely', possessed what Jamie felt was the 'worst bedside manner of any doctor' he had encountered. Upon examining Jamie's throat, the doctor instantly suggested cancer as the likely cause, propelling Jamie into a series of tests and scans. A few hours after the examinations, the radio DJ went ahead with his holiday plans while waiting for the results. Despite having a splendid time, he chose not to divulge his situation to his family, bearing the burden in silence for a fortnight. "I didn't tell anyone," he confided."...At that stage, I thought, well, it might not be cancer. So, there's no point really in saying." Article continues below The truth eventually came to light when Jamie received his biopsy results, confirming the presence of early-stage cancer. He returned home to share the grave news with his wife, Sophie Siegle, who was left in deep distress. With emotion clear in his voice, Jamie recounted: "My mum had died of cancer about a year before. And so my youngest son, he was with me when I was told my mum had died from cancer, knew that you could die. And so, I told him that it was going to be fine and that he had nothing to worry about, and that was the hardest part." Post-diagnosis, Jamie had surgery at the Princess Grace Hospital in Central London which was initially deemed successful, but doubts lingered over whether all the cancer had been excised. Now 54, the DJ faced further tribulations with a second operation complicated by scar tissue impacting his vocal cords. A third procedure was contemplated, though doctors warned they were verging on 'dangerously close' to a point where Jamie might lose his ability to speak permanently. He remarked: "And so, that had now gone from being, I've got cancer that I should be able to live with to a situation where they've gone, well, 'We're now dangerously close to you not being able to talk,' which is new. I was like, wow, I hadn't really factored that into the whole equation." Thankfully, Jamie's voice remains unharmed, and he celebrated his return to Heart Radio Breakfast, where he teams up with Amanda Holden, this January. Article continues below Upon his return, he informed his audience: "Today is the four-month anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. So it's been four months, and I'm fed up with hospitals and operations, and it's just wonderful to be back, and I've got some news for you. Because I can tell you that as of today, I'm cancer free."

Jamie Theakston 'so pleased' cancer diagnosis came after his mum died
Jamie Theakston 'so pleased' cancer diagnosis came after his mum died The 54-year-old co-presenter of the Heart Radio breakfast show was diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer (Image: undefined via Getty Images ) Jamie Theakston was "so pleased" his mum had died before he got cancer. The 54-year-old co-presenter of the Heart Radio breakfast show was diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer - which affects the larynx (voice box) that helps people to breathe and speak - in September 2024, and Jamie announced in January that he is "cancer-free" before he headed back to join his co-host Amanda Holden, 54, on the airwaves. Jamie's mum passed away on Christmas Eve in 2022 after she "wasn't strong enough" to deal with the "several different forms of cancer" she was suffering from and he is relieved that he didn't have to tell her of his own battle with the disease. He told television presenter Davina McCall, 57, on the 'Begin Again' podcast: "When I got told I had cancer, all I could think about was my mum. "And, I was so pleased that she had died before I got cancer because I would hate for her to have learned that I had cancer. "Because I'm not sure what that would have done to her, because she was a survivor, she'd lived with cancer for years, had got the all-clear, came back. Article continues below "She had several different forms of cancer in the end, just she couldn't, wasn't strong enough to deal with [it]. "And I can't, I don't know, I'm not even sure I could have ever have told her, because I don't know what that would have done to her." Jamie's dad has Alzheimer's disease - a cognitive condition that affects memory, thinking and other brain functioning abilities - and he said telling him about his cancer diagnosis was "easy" because he wasn't sure if his dad processed the revelation. Admitting to Davina - who underwent surgery last November to remove a benign colloid cyst brain tumour - Jamie said: "It was easy with my dad, in a way, because my dad's been left behind. "He struggles a bit with his memory, and he doesn't have that much clarity in the way that my mum did. "And so, in a way, I could just tell him I was unwell. "And I'm not sure how much he knew or does know now about how unwell I was. But I feel I don't mind that because I don't want to burden him with it. "I often think that Alzheimer's, in many ways, is a very cruel disease. But, in many ways, it means they don't have to really be fully aware of some of the difficult things that they might have to face at that age." And looking ahead to the future now that his cancer ordeal is behind him, Jamie hopes he will be a "better person". Article continues below Asked by Davina what he is "looking forward to", Jamie - who has sons Sidney, 17, and Kit, 16, with his wife Sophie Siegle - candidly admitted: "Just the rest of my life ... "I hope it will make me be a better parent, a better broadcaster. It certainly feels like it makes me a better person."
