Amanda - ‘Lockdown is difficult and worrying'

Telly fave and BGT judge Amanda Holden is still flying the flag for the best of British

Britain’s Got Talent is back, my friend – and what a tonic it is!

I think there was an initial debate about putting BGT on, but all of us felt very strongly that everyone needs a bit of cheering up – and sitting down with your family and watching the show might help with that.

How were the BGT auditions?

We all agreed that they felt very much home-grown. It felt like they were all facing an audience and judges for the first time. I call them bedroom rehearsers.

As the longest-serving judge, you’ve seen it all. But every year has its jaw-dropping moments.
