Amanda Holden says nostril waxing felt like being punched hard
Amanda Holden left Heart Breakfast listeners laughing this morning as she revealed her painful experience of getting her nostrils waxed.
Speaking to co-host Jamie Theakston, Amanda shared how her usual facial appointment took an unexpected turn.
“Yesterday, I went and saw my lovely friend Nilam – she always does all my facials. She said, ‘Let’s wax your nostrils!’ So, you feel this lovely like warm sensation that goes right into your nose, and she sort of left it there. So, I’m then talking to her like that, and she’s chatting away and doing that. And then, all of a sudden, it goes like a wax thing.”
Jamie could only respond with a supportive, “Yeah,” as Amanda continued describing how it felt.
“And she does it, and you sort of go, ‘Oh!’ And it feels like someone’s punched you in the face slightly. Like, if a Barbie got their fist and went right up your nostril!” she said, making Jamie laugh at the unexpected comparison.
Jamie joked, “Sounds like a nasty fight that, yeah.”
Amanda agreed, adding, “A really nasty fight! And then she starts putting it in the other one. Sorry. Everyone’s started laughing at me and I don’t know why! I was tempted to keep them, but no, I didn’t.”
Jamie then asked her whether the waxing was a success, and Amanda confirmed it was worth the temporary pain. “It was a massive success. It just had all these little sort of spikey hairs all over them.”
The conversation was a mix of horror and humour, as Amanda described the experience as both painful and effective with her vivid description comparing it to Barbie punching her in the nose!
