IN its triumphant return on Saturday, Britain’s Got Talent showcased some
of our greatest unsung entertainers – including whoever messes around with
Amanda Holden’s face.
Her bizarrely over-sculpted look caused a Twitter frenzy and makes her an
apparent victim of the “Too Far Face”, a term for those who no longer look
remotely natural.
The show judge, 45, is now a far cry from the rosy-cheeked, mousey
girl-next-door who joined the ITV series in 2007.

Holden and Alesha Dixon would ‘never make it’ in America says Simon Cowell
This is despite Amanda insisting she that she stopped having Botox back in
2012, and that has never had any other cosmetic work.
But stars are notoriously prone to going overboard. Cosmetic surgeon Dr
Michael Prager said: “Celebrities can request too much work and their
doctors can’t say no.
“That’s why stars tend to fall victim to the Too Far Face more than most. But
it doesn’t make them look younger, just weirder.”
Here we round up more Too Far Faces.
Amanda Holden, 45
One Twitter user joked: “If Amanda Holden’s face gets any tighter you could
run a bow across it and play a tune.”
The mum of two admits she used to be a Botox fan but insists she gave up jabs
in early 2012.
She explained later: “For the last three years I haven’t bothered with Botox
and have instead been having collagen wave facials. It’s done amazing things
to my face.”
Her old, very natural look has certainly been replaced by a supersmooth face
that bounces light away like a mirror.
Amanda also credits “yoga and a bit of running” for the changes,
But her unusually smooth forehead and exaggerated nose-to-mouth lines could be
down to too much filler, according to cosmetic surgeon Dr Prager.
Carla Bruni, 48
The wife of the ex-French President Nicolas Sarkozy shows “all the classic
signs of a devotion to Botox and fillers”, says Dr Alex Karidis. Carla has
declined to comment.
Lara Flynn Boyle, 46
Twin Peaks star won’t admit to work but surgeon Dr Anthony Youn said: “Her
face looks like it’s melting, like it’s deflated. I suspect she’s either
undergone corrective surgery or has allowed the fillers to dissipate.”
Tulisa, 27
Former X Factor judge says: “Yes, I’ve had my lips done, and I’m happy with my
lips. I also had a tiny bit of filler in my cheeks.” Claims her smooth
forehead is down to collagen wave therapy.
Lindsay Lohan, 29
Actress now has puffy cheeks and lips. Plastic surgeon Dr Garth Fisher said:
“It looks like she has had an excessive amount of filler injected in her
face. I’m not a fan.”
Courteney Cox, 51
The Friends actress’s unusually full face may be due to fillers to prevent her
skinniness looking haggard. Cosmetic surgeon Dr Alex Karidis said: “She’s
very trim and I’d say her face could suffer if she didn’t use fillers.”
