Britain’s Got Talent 2019 judge Amanda Holden, 48, has been on the judging panel since the show’s inception in 2007, but admitted she still finds it difficult to send contestants home. Speaking to Zoe Ball, 48, on her Radio 2 Breakfast Show about eliminating acts, she said: “This is the worst part of it. So every single person we put through all come back down to London and they stand in front of us and we have to tell them yes or no. We absolutely hate it and you also have to sort of let them think it’s a no when it’s a yes, and a yes could be a no… it’s just horrendous.

“It’s my worst part of the job,” she added. “I hate breaking people’s hearts.”
Zoe then told Amanda she had “got better” at being “tough” prompting the judge to reply: “I’ve left it to Alesha [Dixon] now.”
She added: “I think when you have children, I mean I’m a wreck anyway, I’m always on the edge, I cry through adverts and everything and when Alesha had her little girl…
“She was hard as nails when she joined and now she weeps everywhere.”
She jokingly added: “It’s like a competition to see whose tear can drop first, I’m like, you go for it.”
