Amanda Holden Booed Over Semi-Final Comments on Britain's Got Talent

Amanda Holden has sparked controversy and boos from the live audience during Britain's Got Talent's third semi-final by delivering a critical assessment of dance duo Harry and Lewis's performance. While fellow judges Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon praised the duo's hard work and choreography, Holden expressed disappointment, emphasizing the production value but stating the performance was not a sufficient improvement over their previous audition. Her comments, including the remark, "thank god for the production," were met with audible boos and accusations of rudeness from viewers and fans. Simon Cowell also questioned the duo's passion for winning, adding to the tense atmosphere. Meanwhile, Amanda Holden has a rumored longstanding feud with former This Morning host Holly Willoughby, highlighted by a recent on-air dig questioning Holly's presenting skills. This feud reportedly dates back to 2014 when Amanda temporarily replaced Holly during maternity leave on This Morning.
