Amanda Holden had a nightmare commute on Monday morning after she was locked in at her Spanish villa while trying to leave for her studio show in the UK. In a video shared on Instagram, Amanda showed herself climbing over a high fence with ladders after being unable to exit through the front gate. Despite the language barrier with the Spanish driver waiting for her outside, she made light of the situation with a humorous caption and soundtrack. Amanda is currently filming the third series of her property makeover show with Alan Carr in Spain, where they will be renovating a run-down property in Andalusia.
The eventful start of filming was revealed live on air on Heart, where Amanda unveiled the location of their latest project. The show will see Amanda and Alan tackle their biggest renovation project yet and venture out of their comfort zone to learn new DIY skills. After the renovations, they will immerse themselves in Spanish traditions by exploring the Sierra Nevada mountains, coastal villages, and historic Moorish towns. Amanda also joked about the “biblical” rain they encountered upon arriving in Spain. Alongside her property makeover show, Amanda is also juggling her commitments with Britain’s Got Talent, which had a successful return with a double bill that garnered strong ratings over the weekend.
One of the acts that caused controversy on Britain’s Got Talent was Sydnie Christmas, a talented singer who received the Golden Buzzer from Amanda for her rendition of “Tomorrow” from the musical Annie. Despite Sydnie’s impressive performance, it was revealed that she was already an experienced musical theatre performer, leading to the show’s first fix row of the year. The launch episode of the latest series received an average of 5 million viewers, peaking at 5.8 million, making it ITV’s biggest overnight audience of the year so far. While it attracted a strong viewership, the ratings were slightly down compared to the previous year’s launch episode.
Amanda’s busy schedule includes jetting between the UK and Spain for filming, making it a challenging time for the TV and radio star. In addition to her work commitments, she is also involved in various projects that demand her attention. Despite the challenges she faces, Amanda manages to maintain a sense of humor and professionalism throughout, as seen in her reaction to being locked in her Spanish villa. Her ability to navigate unexpected situations with grace and humor reflects her resilience and adaptability as a media personality. As she continues to juggle multiple projects and commitments, Amanda remains a versatile and engaging figure in the entertainment industry.
