Amanda Holden lands huge new TV show in role to rival BGT

AMANDA Holden is one of the most in-demand TV personalities currently working in British broadcasting.

The star has multiple gigs across several high-profile projects, which includes her long-running role on Britain's Got Talent.

Amanda, 53, has been a judge on the ITV variety talent competition since its inception in 2007.

Aside from music mogul Simon Cowell is the last remaining original panellist to sit on the panel and is the only judge to remain with the show constantly.

The star has also appeared on the BBC for her holiday home makeover show with Alan Carr.

Together, they attempt to renovate a dilapidated Italian property on Amanda & Alan's Italian Job.

She also currently serves as the breakfast presenter on Heart FM alongside Jamie Theakston.

But it seems that Amanda is embarking on a rival judging role away from ITV.

It has been reported that the star has signed up to be a guest panellist on RuPaul's Drag Race UK on BBC Three.

An insider told : "Amanda is perfect for the show because she’s glamorous and has a brilliant sense of humour.

"And of course she’s got plenty of experience because she’s been a judge on Britain’s Got Talent for years.";

It's also been reported that she has already filmed the spot with legendary queen RuPaul, 63, as well as former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Michelle Visage, 55.

She will appear on the BBC series later in the year, and producers are thrilled with the signing, although there are worries due to her connection to ITV.

An industry source told the outlet: "Amanda had a good giggle on set, it was a dream for her.

"Amanda has been one of ITV’s biggest stars for years as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent. So bosses at the network will be nervous about her doing so much stuff with the BBC."

The former This Morning personality is in good company as many A-lister stars have also served as guest judges on the panel.

Viewers have seen the likes of Andrew Garfield, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan and Dame Joanna Lumley give critiques to the top drag queens in the UK.

Boy George, Jourdan Dunn, Hannah Waddingham, Lorraine Kelly, Cheryl, Sheridan Smith, Dawn French, Alison Hammond have also taken up the role.

From Little Mix both Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have also sat alongside the likes of Alan Carr and Graham Norton.
