Amanda Holden says she’s a ‘gay man in a woman’s body’

Amanda Holden has described herself as a gay man trapped inside a woman’s body.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge made the revelation during an interview with the Radio Times, saying: “I shriek like a witch. My mum and grandmother, who, bless her heart, is 93, also have hideous laughs.

“It’s deep and dirty. People say I missed my time and should have been in Carry On films. I’m a gay man in a straight woman’s body.”

Holden took Attitude‘s legendary ‘How Gay Are You?’ test a couple of years ago – and scored a very impressive 92%.

During her interview with the Radio Times, Holden also discussed her relationship with former Britain’s Got Talent co-star Piers Morgan, who was responsible when he was editor of the Daily Mirror for revealing Holden’s affair with actor Neil Morrissey.

“Of course I hated him. When I saw him in a restaurant I called him a jumped-up, bloated s**t bag,” Holden recalled.

“So what changed? I met him and although he’s incorrigible, he’s very loving and a family man. If we both lost everything we’d still be friends, although he’s a git and can be a pompous pain the arse.”

Britain’s Got Talent returns tonight (April 12) at 7.15pm on ITV.
