She gets such a bad press on here. I think in the scheme of female telly personalities, she's good. And always looks veh nice.

she was in that thing with Caroline Quentin ages ago which I thought was funny... My dp had a thing about her then, but completely admitted it was not for her personality.... She is a pretty good all-rounder as an entertainer, tho, so I guess that qualifies her to be a judge.

HellHathNoFury and notnowbernard - thank you! I'm glad it wasn't just me that noticed. My DH couldn't see what I was talking about either. That old pic of SC is hlarious!

simplesusan · 27/05/2009 10:35

I like her too.
Thought she played a good part in cutting it and she always trys to be constructive and genuine in her comments about the acts on BGT.

I always wonder about the Les Dennis thing. Why did she marry him? How did she meet him?

wotulookinat · 27/05/2009 10:46

I thought her dress was lovely last night. I don't like how she got slated by Piers and Simon the other night for pointing out that they were ogling at girls.

squeaver · 27/05/2009 10:46

She's a fake, adulterous, talentless, brainless bint.

I've met Les Dennis a few times and it would be hard to find a more genuine, funny, decent bloke.

I cannot stand her. Although, tbh, I despise the Osbourne even more. Can't bear the thought of her on Strictly - it'll become Sharon Goes Dancing.

Lizzylou · 27/05/2009 10:47

Cornsilk, I think they were in Panto together or something.

mrsshackleton · 27/05/2009 10:54

I just wish she wasn't messing up her lovely face with all that botox

cornsilk · 27/05/2009 10:55

I liked the way LD took the piss out of himself on Extras. He must be an okay bloke to have agreed to that.

RunningGirl · 27/05/2009 11:04

APparently he was already quite famous when they met (Les Dennis) and she was still trying to make it and was totally star struck by him.

mrsmaidamess · 27/05/2009 11:05

OXYMORON ALERT

'Star Struck by Les Dennis' HA!

I like her on BGT, but I read a mag article where she said something quite insulting about someone she hadn't met...can't quite remember, but it was quite bitchy.

yappybluedog · 27/05/2009 11:15

I sort of like her yet not like her at the same time

I don't think she's a girl's girl

Ineedmorechocolatenow · 27/05/2009 11:20

I think I actually hate her....... urgh....

upagumtree · 27/05/2009 11:24

Undoubtedly she is is very pretty and what I wouldn't give to look like her but I can't stand her double standards. She's forever complaining about how much her co-judges enjoy the scantily clad female contestants on BGT but swoons every time a fit guy takes off his top. Too stereotypical for me. Amanda...you can't have it both ways!

Gillyan · 27/05/2009 11:53

You can like who you like but I think she is ablow up doll who makes erm ropey comments to say the least!

WhiteFish · 27/05/2009 11:56

she is irritating.

namechangerforareason · 27/05/2009 13:14

I cannot stand the bint. Got famous for shagging Neil Morrisey behind Les Dennis' back, talentless botox ridden midden that she is.
Watch her on BGT, she claps like a seal! Feel like throwing he a fish now and again. Plus when she walks down to her chair she marches like she is in the army! FFS she is a horror, has nice hair though.
Cannot stand the woman, never have liked her, never will methinks.

dietstartstomorrow · 27/05/2009 13:23

She didn't get famous for shagging Neil. She was well famous before that.

namechangerforareason · 27/05/2009 13:29

She became a household name for shagging him. The publicity from THAT affair made her! Most people I know had never heard of her before then, other than she was Les Dennis' wife. She is a bint to the highest order. That is my opinion and I am entitled to it.

josette · 27/05/2009 13:39

Wasn't she on Blind Date as one of the three girls to pick ages ago?

reducedfatkettlechip · 27/05/2009 14:12

Didn't she used to have a dreadful reputation for trying to seduce casting directors to get parts in things? (while still married to Les)

I think she has reinvented herself quite well and I do almost like her these days but something about her seems deeply untrustworthy..

reducedfatkettlechip · 27/05/2009 14:13

No pervy pun intended there!

beanieb · 27/05/2009 14:16

I like the interview and pics she's just done in Heat magazine.

pics are here

sorry it's the Daily mail.

HellHathNoFury · 27/05/2009 14:59

If I looked like her at 38 I'd be over the bloody moon

In fact, if I looked like her now, at 30, I'd be over the bloody moon
