Britain's Got Talent 2018: Amanda Holden branded OLD by comedian Robert White
Amanda Holden joined her fellow judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, and Alesha Dixon on the panel for last night’s live semi-final. However, the 47-year-old faced a very surprising remark while watching comedian Robert’s performance. It came as the funny man launched into a song as part of his set. Roasting the presenter, he crooned: “Amanda Holden is obsessed with trying to look young…” The surprise swipe saw the Britain’s Got Talent judge fling her arms out beside her.

Jumping to her feet, Amanda looked very shocked, before laughing at the remark. Appearing to backtrack on what he had said, the star went on: “No, like she used to. “No, it’s not the truth, it’s just in that chair as I find you. “That chair is sort of reflects your younger years, it’s behind you.” During his performance, the comedian also hit out at Alesha as he made a light-hearted joke. “Gordon Ramsay is obsessed with swearing at his cooker... Alesha is obsessed with dressing like a hook... no!”

The risqué set saw him poke fun at Simon Cowell, as well as teasing he hoped to date David Walliams. “The one thing Simon Cowell likes the most is the sound of his own voice,” he sung. “David will be my next boyfriend.” And, after making a number of quips at the judging panel, Richard secured his place in the final on Sunday. Elsewhere during Britain’s Got Talent last night, Amanda faced backlash on Twitter after her choice of words while talking to a Manchester bombing victim. It came as dance group Rise Group had received a standing ovation after they wowed with their performance. The all-female group took to the stage to show off their best dance moves to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s Can’t Hold Us.
