BGT’s Amanda Holden makes a slipup about disabled contender.
Amanda Holden, a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, was left red-faced on Sunday night after making a mistake about a disabled contestant.
After performing her set during the semi-final show, the TV star provided feedback to young comedian Eva Abley.
In the third round of semi-finals, the schoolgirl performed a comedy skit for the audience at London’s Hammersmith Apollo.
Eva, 14, made everyone laugh when she made fun of head judge Simon Cowell’s use of Botox and his motorcycle accident.
Amanda, 51, laughed at the jokes and complimented Eva as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly arrived.
“Oh my goodness, every single joke was a knockout,” Amanda exclaimed. “There’s nothing else to say; you’re hilarious.
“You know what I mean, that wasn’t a joke,” she continued, her face flushed. “You’ve got it in your blood, you’re naturally funny.” Every joke was a winner, darling, and every moment was hilarious.
“You’re incredible, you’re so refreshing and genuine.”
Despite Amanda’s efforts to correct the error, viewers at home took to social media to express their displeasure.
“Amanda has had a nightmare there,” one commented, while another added, “Amanda really does say the wrong things all the time.””
