Amanda Holden found herself hilariously “caught out” on a lie detector test during her Heart Radio Breakfast Show after a question about Simon Cowell’s style
Amanda Holden was left squirming after being “caught out” during a lie detector test on her Heart Radio Breakfast Show, when a seemingly innocent question about Simon Cowell ’s style exposed a surprisingly blunt fashion confession about her long-time Britain’s Got Talent co-star.
The 53-year-old presenter and judge took part in the light-hearted segment on air, answering a series of questions while hooked up to a lie detector, with results revealed in real time. Things began smoothly when Amanda was asked whether she would ever take part in The Masked Singer.
“Would you ever do The Masked Singer, Amanda?” she was asked.
“No,” Amanda replied confidently.
“And again, we’re off to a good start. She’s telling the truth,” the presenter confirmed, as the lie detector backed her up.
Amanda was quick to clarify that her refusal had nothing to do with the format of the show itself. “I love watching it, by the way, but I just wouldn’t do it. No. Be too sweaty in there. I’d do it for the weight loss,” she joked.
However, the mood shifted when a listener called Michelle texted in with a question that brought Simon Cowell firmly into the spotlight. “Do you think Simon Cowell’s dress sense is good?” Amanda was asked — prompting immediate suspicion from the lie detector.
“I knew his name would come up,” Amanda laughed, before answering carefully. “Dress sense? When he wears a suit in the live finals, I think he looks really handsome, yes.”
But the lie detector appeared unconvinced. “Oh, I’m seeing a bit of deceptive reaction, Amanda. I’m sorry, Simon,” the presenter announced, much to Amanda’s embarrassment.
Attempting to clarify her answer — and inadvertently revealing the “brutal” truth — Amanda doubled down. “He does look very handsome on the live shows in a shirt and jacket. Well, I don’t mind his compression tops. It’s the tracksuit bottoms for me.”
She went on to defend Cowell on one particular style rumour, adding: “He doesn’t wear a Cuban heel — I’m going to stick up for him — but I’m not a fan of a tracksuit bottom on a man on live television.”
Amanda has previously poked fun at Simon Cowell’s fashion choices during an appearance on This Morning last year. During her interview with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, the judge took a moment to reference Simon — and fellow BGT panellist Bruno Tonioli — following their appearance on the ITV daytime show the previous week.
Amanda’s comments were sparked by Simon’s relaxed attire when he appeared on This Morning with Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond. With spring sunshine visible outside the studio, the music mogul opted for a pair of grey shorts, a look that did not go unnoticed by viewers — or by Amanda.
“I know he came on your show last week, but can we discuss Simon Cowell’s trousers that he had on?” Amanda said, prompting laughter from the studio.
She continued: “What was he wearing? Did he cycle in? He’s got a good knee,” she added, delivering the remark with her trademark dry humour.
