Amanda's Got Talent...for shameless attention-seeking as she tries to fight off young rivals at 44: TV-star is famed for her 'look-at-me' moments
- Amanda Holden spends her time praising contestants on Britain's Got Talent but covets a little for herself too
- She's been accused of staging a stunt on Monday as she poured water over Stephen Mulhern to grab headlines
- TV star may be 44 but she's giving younger rivals a run for their money with her sumptuous and revealing outfits
- Over the last year she's grabbed her breasts, lifted her dress and even got her bottom out for a bit of attention
Amanda Holden was said to be livid, while presenter Stephen Mulhern apparently feared for his safety as security guards were called in to restore order after she furiously threw glasses of water over him.
Or so insiders on Britain’s Got Talent’s ITV2 spin-off show claimed on Monday, after Holden was compared with U.S. socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, dubbed ‘the Bride of Wildenstein’ because of her extensive plastic surgery.
Plainly, it was all a stunt that Amanda was in on — but doesn’t that make it all the more pitiful? She may insist she hasn’t had surgery and no longer has Botox, but with a complexion as tight as hers not everyone believes her.

Monday: As the BGT semi-final acts hope to make it to the final, Amanda just wants to make it to the end of the show without falling out of her dress. Later on Britain’s Got More Talent, she soaks host Stephen Mulhern after he ungallantly compares her with the Bride of Wildenstein
Monday: Amanda's motto is simple: If the split in your dress isn't revealing your legs to millions of viewers on TV, simply pull it apart
Now, perhaps, she’s decided that ridiculing her looks on TV is easier than dealing with the doubters who think she’s had the odd nip and tuck.
There’s no denying Amanda is one of our more accomplished female TV presenters. She doesn’t set viewers’ teeth on edge in the way Tess Daly appears to on Strictly; neither does she come across as a bloke’s woman with no time for her own sex as Ulrika Jonsson can.
With Amanda, it’s more a case of putting your head in your hands and wondering what on earth possesses a 44-year-old mother-of-two to behave like she’s the star of her own Carry On movie.
For whether she’s jiggling her boobs or flashing her bottom, Amanda is the most shameless attention-seeker on telly. What makes this so frustrating is that — unlike so many Identikit blonde presenters — she is sharp and witty.
And you have to give her credit for having lasted for all nine seasons of Britain’s Got Talent. Simon Cowell has been merciless when it comes to axing celebrities (women in particular) from his shows — to which Dannii Minogue, Mel B, Kelly Brook and Sharon Osbourne can all attest.
Yet, come tomorrow’s grand final, you just know Ms Holden’s gown will be cut-to-the-navel and slashed-to-the-thigh, while her behaviour will be like that of an attention-seeking toddler.

April 16: Appearing on Graham Norton's TV show, Amanda sported a fake tattoo of Simon Cowell on her right thigh. Well it was never going to be on her arm was it?
April 13: 'How can I accessorise this lady-like polka-dot dress?' wondered Amanda on ITV's This Morning. 'I know, with a pair of Union Jack nipple tassels.'
March 23: Take one celebrity, get her to grab her breasts, and you have the recipe for saucy daytime TV - and a cue for someone to use a pan lid to spare the viewers' blushes.
March 5: ‘A little dirt never hurt’ says the motto on Amanda’s pinny for a gardening item on This Morning, complete with knee pads
February 5: She joked she was getting her nipples insured for £2million to protect her assets. A bra would be a lot cheaper
January 29: Glasses, keys, wallet ... dress to go under coat and over knickers. It's just so hard to remember everything before you leave the house. Why else would Amanda treat fans to a glimpse of her flesh-coloured undies at BGT auditions
January 21: Just like an ordinary person, Amanda likes to use public transport. Unlike ordinary people, she does it in evening dress while posing for a photo
January 6: Amanda Hold-em: ‘Do you think these are a lovely bunch of coconuts?’ asked Amanda when she posted a suggestive snap on Instagram from her holiday
November 24, 2014: A man in a kilt? It was never going to end well. Sure enough, Amanda can't resist having a cheeky grope of actor James Murray at a charity function
October 31: What do you do when you're on the red carpet and there's no wind to blow your dress up? Why you just hoik it up yourself, of course, and flash your pants for the people
October 20, 2014:Unable to resist the latest craze of taking a ‘belfie’ (bottom selfie) Amanda flashes her backside behind the scenes at the This Morning studio. It’s hard to imagine Judy Finnigan doing that
July 19, 2014: Amanda loves to tend her patch in hotpants. She must be kicking herself that she lives in the UK so can't grow any melons
