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.

YANBU. She always reminds me of that character on Doctor who - cassandra, I think it's called. It's basically a piece of skin pulled so tight that only its lips and eyes can move.

I always thought she played that bitch character in hairdressing thing very well

ipiratechief. I don't know how to link from my laptop - must get DH to show me.

HarryB · 17/08/2009 09:46

Thanks PrincessToadstool!!

I really don't like AH. She comes across as being very false.

Metella · 17/08/2009 09:53

PMSL at Amanda Holden as Cassandra . So true!

ipiratethief · 17/08/2009 09:55

now that is very very funny!!! cassandra thing, it is totally her!!!!

sunfleurs · 17/08/2009 09:56

She is unwatchable for me. If shes in it its bound to be shit so I don't bother.

flamingtoaster · 17/08/2009 10:01

I saw her on Alan Carr and thought it was very cruel and nasty. I was stunned they did it, especially after mentioning the Priory which Amanda put down to being a holiday where she wouldn't be hassled.

Mummywhereisyourwillie · 17/08/2009 10:16

The funny thing was, they showed a clip of Amanda Holden on blind date a few years back and she looked really really rough. Really goofy. Considering her background relative to Susan Boyle's, she came off worse looks wise.

Without a hell of a lot of work she has clearly had done, there wouldn't be much between them looks wise. The only difference being, of course, that Susan Boyle has been stuck at home looking after her mother for many years plus learning difficulties and probably has a bit more of an excuse for being less polished.

I thought it was well out of order too.

ItsAllaBitNoisy · 17/08/2009 10:25

Alan Carr had given her a fake "mono-brow", Amanda Holden stuck it on her lip rather than forehead and said "she has a problem there as well." She also did the skirt lifting thing.

Awful.

(P.S. Don't use her intials, her full name is much more Googleable. )

GirlsAreLoud · 17/08/2009 10:25

Just tried to look for the clip on youtube but it's not on there. There is a link to an anti-bullying campaign she's been a part of though

chegirl · 17/08/2009 10:26

I have always thought of her as one of those 'man's women' IYKWIM. One of those women who do not really get along with other women.

She has a permenant sneer on her little face. I am sure men love her but what a price to pay.

squeaver · 17/08/2009 10:28

Cannot stand her.

She has not one single redeeming feature, imo.

Mummywhereisyourwillie · 17/08/2009 10:28

Yes, put her name in full. She strikes me as the sort of person who would be up early every morning googling herself.

It's her daughter I feel sorry for. Imagine having that as your role model.

She rode Les Dennis like a seaside donkey to get to where she is now. I find her utterly talentless and just really unpleasant.

sunfleurs · 17/08/2009 10:31

I wonder if she comes on MN ?

debs40 · 17/08/2009 10:31

YANBU I thought exactly the same thing. She is vile. Alan Carr handed over the wigs and the furry 'unibrow' and she insisted on using it over her mouth saying 'Suebo' as they called her had problems there too.

Horrible, vain woman with stretched skin and trouty lips.
