Amanda has been involved in Britain’s Got Talent ever since the ITV programme began over a decade ago, and has become synonymous with the reality competition alongside music mogul Simon Cowell.
Giving her own personal brand of comedy and input about the varied contestants, Amanda has become a favourite on the panel.
Yet tonight the judge made a surprising move when she got up on stage at the request of one hopeful - 34-year-old magician and entertainer Graeme Mathews.
Amanda was open to whatever tricks and comedy the hopeful was set to throw at her, but there was one moment the actress nearly put her foot down.
The Essex-born contestant was grinning away as he announced: “Now I need a glamorous assistant.
“Amanda could you join me on the stage?”
The magician managed to prompt various outbursts of laughter from children’s author David Walliams, and singer Alesha Dixon seemed to be enjoying the act almost as much.
Yet Amanda furrowed her brow at many of Graeme’s jokes, particularly as they were almost all a fraud.
