Apparently Amanda Holden has said there will be no more falling for sob stories on BGT. No more "oh my mum died last week and she wanted me to be on this so much...."


Erm, not her show........


So I think - bollocks

What ****ed me off is she related it to her stillbirth. I'm devastated for her but you don't even compare nor relate that to a TV show!!!!!!!!

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has promised that the show's new-look panel will no longer be taken in by contestants' 'sob stories'.

The Big Top actress, who is joined by David Hasselhoff and Michael McIntyre on the forthcoming fifth series, claimed that she attempted to avoid being swayed by those who "milked" personal tragedies to improve their chances of success.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Holden admitted that her change of attitude had been partially motivated by her own devastating stillbirth during filming of the contest in February.

"We saw in the auditions that people were telling you their tragedy before they even started singing. They were milking it, doing the "My mother died last week and this is for her" thing, trying to get the audience on their side.

Stupid ****ing bint

Well, she shouldn't open up the conversation to that very point of hearing sob stories, once you say to someone 'what made you apply for the show' you then open the door to those very sob stories, such as 'my Father was very ill he wanted me to do it' etc,.

Ask them by all means what they do,their age, where they are from and then have them get on with the performance. No need to expand the converstaion to bring in these sob stories as she calls them.

I hope because she is the only remaining judge now of the original 3 that she hasn't developed delusions of grandeur that it is now actually her show.
