Several Mumsnet users have revealed what Amanda Holden is really like away from all the cameras and glitz and glamour.

The TV personality, 54, is best known for serving as a judge on ITV‘s Britain’s Got Talent since 2007.

Now, several people on the global online network have admitted that they may have misjudged her.

One user wrote: ‘I served her a few times years ago when I worked in hospitality – she was honestly just the loveliest person.’;

Another chimed in: ‘My mate works in showbiz and moves in her circle – has always said she’s got time for everyone and isn’t actually a diva at all. When I met her I totally saw it.’

Others who were yet to meet the star were equally as complimentary.

One admitted: ‘I don’t know her personally but I’ve never really liked her. She always seemed full of herself. Just finished watching Amanda and Alan’s Italian Job and I’ve really warmed to her she’s actually very funny and self deprecating. She’s very sweet to Alan too.’;

‘I happened across her as a contestant on Cilla’s ‘Blind Date’ a day or so ago (on YouTube). She was – at the time – a drama student, and so very very young! Rather sweet 🙂 Girl done good.’;

‘I have never met her so this is 3rd hand but on of my friends deals with lots of celebs professionally and has nothing but nice things to say about her, says she is genuinely lovely.’;

‘I like her; she doesn’t take herself seriously and seems like a laugh.’; ‘I’ve never watched BGT but I’ve always liked her, I remember her as Miss Titley on The Grimleys.’

It comes after Amanda’s Netflix show Cheat: Unfinished Business has reportedly been axed after just one series. 

The nine-part series, co-presented by Amanda and relationship expert Paul Carrick Brunson, saw eight ex-couples who broke up because of infidelity head to a Spanish retreat to work out their differences.

It proved a massive hit when it hit the streamer on April 30 and reached Netflix’s top 10 most-watched programmes in 22 countries, including the UK and the US.

But despite the show’s successful ratings, The Sun on Sunday claim the show has been given the boot and won’t be returning for a second series.

A source told the publication: ‘Despite Cheat being popular with audiences, Netflix has decided to pursue new show formats. Bosses love Amanda and are in talks with her on three different show ideas, so it’s likely fans will see A lot more of her on the platform in the future.

Paul, who’s been married to childhood sweetheart Jill for 23 years, got his big break after Oprah Winfrey spotted one of his YouTube videos and invited him to co-host a TV show with her.

The Washington-born star has further established his career on UK soil with podcast We Need To Talk, where he has interviewed the likes of comedian Katherine Ryan, former X Factor judge Tulisa, and Love Island contestant Maura Higgins.

At the time, he said he was excited to explore ‘all the grey areas of infidelity’ while working with the contestants on Unfinished Business, adding: ‘Not only that, but to work with Amanda Holden has been a dream of mine, so with her on board, there was no way I could say no.’

Amanda, who shares daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 12, with husband Chris Hughes, told Daily Mail earlier this year that she has always longed to present a dating series.

She said: ‘It is my dream job, if I could have manifested a job… this would have been it. It is the job I have wanted my whole life, and it’s finally happening.’

The Heart Breakfast host added: ‘A series about second chances and unfinished business. I can’t wait, along with Paul, to meet and help these couples work out whether they can forgive and forget. I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of it.’
