Amanda Holden ‘exposed’ in live lie detector on Heart Breakfast
Amanda Holden faced a very public test this morning on Heart Breakfast.
She agreed to take part in a live lie detector test, with some brutally honest moments revealed in front of listeners as the Examiner put Amanda on the spot about colleagues, co-stars and her own on-screen reactions.
Things began close to home when Amanda was asked whether she genuinely finds her co-host Jamie Theakston funny.
She confidently replied yes, only for the Examiner to pause and suggest a “bit of a deceptive reaction”. Amanda immediately defended herself, insisting she does find Jamie funny, as Jamie laughed along and let the moment hang.
Attention then shifted to one of the biggest names in television, with Amanda questioned about Simon Cowell’s dress sense.
Clearly anticipating the question, she hesitated before trying to qualify her answer, mentioning how he looks during the live finals.
Pressed for a simple yes or no, Amanda said yes, prompting the Examiner to once again flag a deceptive reaction and apologise directly to Simon Cowell on air!
Amanda attempted to recover by praising Simon’s appearance on live shows, adding that he looks very handsome in a shirt and jacket, but the damage had already been done, much to Jamie’s amusement.
Perhaps the most revealing moment came when Amanda was asked whether she had ever pretended to love an act on Britain’s Got Talent while secretly hating it.
She answered no, but the studio reaction said it all. Jamie jumped in, joking that everyone already knew the answer, while the Examiner declared that Amanda was “not doing very well”, confirming another deceptive response.
Laughing but slightly flustered, Amanda begged not to be asked which acts she was referring to!
The test ended on a lighter note after a listener question appeared to suggest Amanda fancied Alan Carr. Amanda began to answer enthusiastically before the Examiner quickly shut it down, confirming the result as truthful and prompting more laughter as Jamie asked for the final verdict.
