Amanda Holden experienced a revealing moment on Heart Breakfast this morning when she participated in a live lie detector test. The segment stirred up a mix of humorous and candid exchanges between Amanda and her co-host Jamie Theakston, as well as the show’s Examiner.
The challenge kicked off with a personal question: whether Amanda truly finds Jamie amusing. Initially confident in her response of “yes,” the Examiner paused, indicating a potential deceptive reaction. Amanda quickly defended her answer, asserting that she indeed finds Jamie funny, while he laughed along.
The atmosphere shifted when the conversation turned to Simon Cowell’s fashion sense. Anticipating the question, Amanda hesitated but eventually said yes when pushed for a straightforward answer. The Examiner noted a deceptive reaction again, leaving Amanda to navigate the fallout while trying to compliment Simon’s dapper appearance during live shows, which did not completely assuage the situation.
One of the more provocative questions examined whether Amanda had ever pretended to love a performance on Britain’s Got Talent while secretly disliking it. She replied no, but the studio audience’s reactions told a different story. Jamie humorously remarked that the audience likely knew the truth already, while the Examiner commented on Amanda’s struggles with the test, highlighting another questionable response. Amanda, caught off guard, requested not to reveal which acts she might have had in mind.
The test wrapped up on a lighter note when a listener’s question insinuated that Amanda had a crush on comedian Alan Carr. She started to respond with enthusiasm until the Examiner confirmed the answer as truthful, leading to more laughter in the studio.
