Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden has made a startling confession about the domestic fallout from her cheeky on-screen remarks, revealing that her family aren't exactly fans of her witty banter.
The 53-year-old television personality, who serves as a judge on the hit ITV talent show, opened up during her Heart Radio breakfast show about the hilarious tension her comments have caused at home.
The Comments That Caused Chaos
Holden didn't hold back during the latest Britain's Got Talent auditions, particularly when it came to fellow judge Simon Cowell. She boldly declared the music mogul was "getting on a bit" and even suggested he might need an afternoon nap during filming.
But it wasn't just Cowell who felt the sharp edge of Holden's tongue. Comedian Alan Carr, who's been filling in as a guest judge, also found himself in the firing line when Holden remarked he looked like he'd "been inflated."
Family Backlash
"I have to say, at home, they hate me," Holden admitted to her radio co-hosts. "My children and my husband were like, 'How could you be so mean to Simon? And how could you be so mean to Alan?'"
The mother-of-two revealed that her family's disapproval was immediate and vocal, creating some entertaining tension in the Holden household following each episode's broadcast.
Behind the Banter
Despite the family criticism, Holden remains unapologetic about her judging style. The comments, while delivered with perfect comic timing, come from a place of genuine affection for her colleagues.
"It's all done with love," she insisted, explaining that the close relationships between the judging panel allow for such good-natured ribbing. The dynamic between the regular judges and guest stars like Alan Carr has become a highlight of the current season.
Britain's Got Talent continues to delight audiences with its mix of extraordinary talent and judge chemistry, proving that even when Holden's family might disapprove of her comments, viewers can't get enough.
