Amanda Holden has slammed the Strictly Come Dancing presenter frontrunners as "boring".
Ms Holden is known for starring as a judge on Britain's Got Talent as well as presenting other shows, such as Cheat: Unfinished Business.
A household name across the UK, she lives in a four-bedroom thatched cottage near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire.
The 54-year-old shares two daughters, 20-year-old Lexi and 14-year-old Hollie, with her husband Chris Hughes.

It was recently revealed that Ms Holden and her frequent collaborator and real-life friend Alan Carr were offered the Strictly Come Dancing hosting job.
This came after current presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman confirmed their exits back in October 2025.
Appearing together on Jessie Ware’s podcast Table Manners, the pair were asked: "Can I ask a burning question? You two aren't going to present Strictly together?"
Mr Carr shocked Strictly fans as he replied: "No, we said no ages ago."

Now, Ms Holden has taken a swipe at the frontrunners for the Strictly presenting gig whilst speaking to Metro.
"Often when I see lots of names attached to it, I’m like, boring, boring…" said the TV personality on a call with the national newspaper.
"All brilliant people, but you just go, come on! Think outside the box here.
"I think it’s a really amazing job to break two people that we might not know or don’t know that well and push them up into the spotlight.
"There are so many women in our industry like that – without getting too political – who’ve put all the work in, all the hours, who deserve a bloody break."
