To think Amanda Holden is a bitch

She was on Alan Carr tonight and was gratuitously unpleasant and unbelievably bitchy about Susan Boyle.

I didn't watch 'Britain's got Talent' and am not a particular Susan Boyle fan, but it strikes me that someone with Susan's background needs to be treated really sensitively and I couldn't believe what I heard tonight.

Missed it- what did she say?

ideasplz · 17/08/2009 00:12

i didnt watch it but i saw it on newspaper.
i agree, its not nice.

hambler · 17/08/2009 00:13

mummywhereisyourwille I saw that and thought it was dreadful, a real cheap shot.
At least Susan Boyle has a discernable talent. What exactly is AH talented at?

cornsillk · 17/08/2009 00:13

Bitchy about Susan Boyle? In what way?

masonicpixiesreadthedailymail · 17/08/2009 00:18

being on blind date?

marrying the chap off family fortunes?

flicking her hair?

having botox?

making her accent posher by the day?

being able to affect crying like a proper person?

clapping people off in way that could be derisory / sincere

A mine of talent!

hambler · 17/08/2009 00:21

she and Alan Carr put on wigs and moustaches and impersonated her singing

hambler · 17/08/2009 00:22

she also spoke about conversations she had with SB, making out SB was an unsophisticated thicko

hambler · 17/08/2009 00:22

mummy I am glad you brought this up.I am glad I am not the only one who thought this

cornsillk · 17/08/2009 00:24

How nasty of her. Wonder what Simon Cowell will make of that.

masonicpixiesreadthedailymail · 17/08/2009 00:27

cos without AH giving you that inside info it would be terribly difficult to decipher that SB had learning difficulties and looked somewhat badly turned out?

I have always thought AH was fucking offal. Wow - how adept

KissMyAssDailyMailcentreplus · 17/08/2009 00:31

Simon would give her a good cussin

IOnlyReadtheDailyMailinCafes · 17/08/2009 00:39

I saw that, only saw the singing and when she took the monobrow and made a moustache while cackling and thought it was awful. Very very cruel.

cornsillk · 17/08/2009 00:50

Why on Earth did she think that was acceptable considering that BGT has already been accused of exploiting vulnerable people.

hambler · 17/08/2009 00:59

cornsilk, I know. I watched open mouthed. It was not even funny or clever, not even in a cruel way.
Imagine mocking someone with learning difficulties ...for having facial hair?

MrsGladpuss · 17/08/2009 01:02

I saw it and thought it was nasty and a bit rich considering people didn't watch BGT to see Amanda Holden. She is happy to make money out of Susan Boyle but not prepared to treat her with any respect

Vile woman.

LastTrainToNowhere · 17/08/2009 01:09

I missed it but dh saw it and couldn't stop talking about how vile it was. Very little shock him on tv nowadays, so Amanda Holden must have given a helluva performance.

LastTrainToNowhere · 17/08/2009 01:32

shocks even

GothAnneGeddes · 17/08/2009 01:40

Especially considering AH's fivehead is scarier than Susan Boyle any day.

Masonic - You forgot to mention:

Shagging Neil Morrissey. Which catapulted her to notoriety.

I thought it was in very poor taste too.

ninedragons · 17/08/2009 03:51

I didn't know about Neil Morrissey.

Talk about demonstrating a complete lack of judgment.

Urgh. The thought is making me feel quite queasy.

vanimal · 17/08/2009 03:55

Agree - she was totally out of order. Witch.

PM73 · 17/08/2009 07:25

Eurgh,vile woman.

I remmeber reading somewhere that when she left that drama based in South Africa (sorry cant remember what its called) the atmosphere went lovely & everyone got on & had a right laugh.

aGalChangedHerName · 17/08/2009 07:30

Showed her true colours imo. Pathetic waste of space that woman!!

scottishmummyofone · 17/08/2009 08:04

yes I thought it was nasty of her too. Susan Boyle has learning difficulties and needs support and encouragement not ridicule.

MamaLazarou · 17/08/2009 08:35

I thought you would all like to know that I saw Amanda Holden in M&S in Richmond and she looked very haggard, very shabby, and very, very old.

Ninks · 17/08/2009 08:38

There was something "by" A.H in one of the Sunday supplements yesterday, (found at my mum's house natch )

She was saying that she respects and admires Susan Boyle enormously and owes her U.S career to her. Nice way of showing it.

YANBU. She is a bitch.
