Heart FM and Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden has expressed her frustration after being labelled "difficult" by her husband and colleagues.

The comment came to light when Ashley Roberts, Amanda's co-host on the radio show, revealed Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce is planning a grand birthday celebration for the pop star.


This led their fellow presenter Jason King (also known as JK) to ponder what one would do if they had to buy both a birthday and Christmas gift for someone like Swift.

Amanda interjected, saying: "Oh, I know and there's my husband saying, 'You're so difficult to buy for'. It's like an insult. He told me I was having a go at him last night because I kept saying, 'Why do you keep saying I'm difficult to buy for? It's like an insult'."

She added: "I'm not difficult to buy for", to which Ashley responded: "No; actually, I feel like you're quite fun to buy for." However, JK hinted that whoever drew Amanda for Secret Santa might have said the same thing.


The Britain's Got Talent judge, who is married to record producer Chris Hughes, recently confessed that her busy schedule over the festive period means she will miss their 16th wedding anniversary.

She admitted on air that she's "literally got nothing [free] between now and Christmas", with plans to spend the day with school mums.

The couple, who share daughters Lexi and Hollie, tied the knot at Babington House in Somerset on December 10, 2008. But in a September reveal, Amanda let slip that her hubby reckons she'd be hitched again "within the year" if they ever split.

Chatting about Davina McCall's dating show 'My Mum, Your Dad', Amanda was shocked to hear some participants had been single for ten years, confessing: "Oh my gosh; I can't imagine. I mean, this is going to make me sound shallow, but my husband always says I'll probably be married within the year if he left me."

In November, Amanda dished out that she once fancied former football boss Jurgen Klopp, leaving her hubby baffled – especially since she's a die-hard Everton fan.

When Alex Horne mentioned wanting Klopp on Channel 4's Taskmaster, Amanda gushed: "Amazing! I used to have a bit of a crush on Jurgen Klopp, my husband never understood it, especially because I'm an Evertonian."

She also spilled that her man "doesn't get it because of his teeth", and can't fathom her liking a "man with that smile". Yet, Amanda admitted there's just "something about him".
