To think Amanda Holden is out of control

Am I the only one to think that she's completely over the top in this year's BGT, not being very funny when she thinks she is and I'm wondering if she won't have her contract renewed. Not to mention last night's swearing. I think there are better people. I wonder when Simon will realise it.

I've never warmed to her particularly, but she does seem a bit out there at the minute.
She's been on it for ages hasn't she? Might be time for someone new on it anyway.

She seems to be making too much of an effort. I think this is the only thing she does now. Rumour had it that PS didn't want her anymore on this morning....

Im sure people will get over a little swear word. My language would have turned the air blue.
If we're on about offensive language.
Was what Simon said 'Its like being next door to you on your Honeymoon night not crude. If we've going to use the kids will be watching argument.
Can't be one rule for one and one for the other..
I.did have to laugh, though. When the ghost was frog marching her back up the stairsGrin

ZorbeeAndTheLemur · 28/05/2019 22:09

I'd say David is more out of control tbh

Nearlythere1 · 28/05/2019 22:11

I still can't get my head around why she's famous. She's the biggest, most talentleess nobody on the planet. Literally all she is is les dennis's ex. Definitely a case of simon taking a shine to her for whatever reason, i shall not conjecture why though. In summary, I can't stand her, and I wish she would crawl back into the obscurity she deserves instead of flashing her bits at families every week on tv.

LittleAndOften · 28/05/2019 22:11

Isn't she taking over Emma Bunton's radio show? Someone must like her.

Jodie571 · 28/05/2019 22:13

She’s a desperate woman who is trying so hard to be 30 again. She is riddled with insecurities you can tell it a mile off. I find her pretty pathetic tbh.

Marilynmansonsthermos · 28/05/2019 22:15

Yes, think she is having a meltdown about being less relevant/not on TV as much the older she gets..seems very desperate to get attention!

Frittata · 28/05/2019 22:15

I only watch bits on YouTube but I thought I heard Simon tell her to stop overacting.

lovesawindyday · 28/05/2019 22:15

she's so boring i don't get why she's on tv.

Cherrysherbet · 28/05/2019 22:16

I like her. I think she’s good on bgt.

Bunnybigears · 28/05/2019 22:16

She seems pretty harmless to me.

MamaRaisingBoys · 28/05/2019 22:17

She’s taking on the morning show on Heart radio, it’s changing from locally produced shows to one big broadcast and why they thought of her to take the job I don’t know 😩 I won’t be listening in work any more

bigchris · 28/05/2019 22:18

She was great in Cutting it and that other comedy

DrCristinaYang · 28/05/2019 22:18

I like her.
Last night she cursed because she was terrified, the act wasn't fair having that done to her twice. Apparently it disturbed her so much she had a panic attack during the ad break afterwards.

bigchris · 28/05/2019 22:18

She should have stuck to acting

Ivegotthree · 28/05/2019 22:18

Her Botox is out of control but apart from that I think she's ok

LittleAndOften · 28/05/2019 22:19

I saw her in the play of Stepping Out not so long ago. She was ok but her performance was just a Julie Walters ripoff impression. I find it baffling that she was the lead in Thoroughly Modern Millie. Makes you wonder quite how she climbed the greasy pole...

Howlovely · 28/05/2019 22:19

I think both she and Aleisha are neither use nor ornament. I agree with PP that they are both flirting with desperation and it's becoming a little uncomfortable to watch. I know this thread is about Amanda but I find Aleisha very annoying. I hate the way she turns up the urban when a 'trendy' act comes on. David and Dec are the best things about the show.

anitagreen · 28/05/2019 22:20

There's a post going around on the net about a wrap of paper or something falling out of her dress whilst she was walking on to the show last night....

MyNameIsCharlesII · 28/05/2019 22:21

I don’t particularly like her but she’s not out of control Confused Now David really gives me the creeps. All the looking at the camera sideways when he’s on the edge of a shot. The ott leering over young fit men. The winding up of Simon with gay innuendo and thrusting etc. He makes my skin crawl.

Ohnotanothernamechange · 28/05/2019 22:22

I always thought she treated Les Dennis appallingly. Effectively used him to further own career.

Peakypolly · 28/05/2019 22:24

I know this thread is about Amanda but I find Aleisha very annoying
I have to walk away if I get the self-serve checkout at M&S voiced by Aleisha.
I don’t mind Amanda though.

ChampionThreadKiller · 28/05/2019 22:25

anitagreen we noticed something on her leg when she got up on stage (thought it was a plaster) but then it disappeared. What are people saying it was?

anitagreen · 28/05/2019 22:26

@ChampionThreadKiller cocaine I think obviously no one can possibly know that but it did look weird who has a small white wrap with them on live tv stuck to their leg they didn't know about unless it did literally slip out her clothing and she didn't realise Confused
