Amanda Holden Sparks Controversy Bathing with Dog, Experts Warn of Risks

Amanda Holden caused quite a stir on Heart Radio by revealing that she bathed with her dog, Minnie, after a trip to the beach. The 54-year-old presenter explained that Minnie was covered in sand, so she decided to share her bath with the pup, using only dog shampoo to ensure safety. While Holden found the experience delightful, her show’s producer was visibly shocked, putting his head in his hands at the revelation. Co-host Jamie Theakston opened a discussion on whether it's appropriate to bathe with pets, highlighting the mixed reactions from their audience. Experts, however, cautioned against such practices, noting the potential health risks associated with bacteria and parasites that dogs may carry. Despite the controversy, Holden's light-hearted approach has sparked a playful debate among listeners.
