Amanda Holden , the Britain’s Got Talent judge has filmed a comedy scene which sees her impersonating former contestant Susan Boyle.

According to the newpaper The Sun, 38 year old Amanda transformed herself into Susan Boyle by donning a fuzzy wig, gold-coloured dress and facial hair for her appearance on Alan Carr‘s Chatty Man show.

Amanda then added more insult to inury by joking further about Susan Boyle’s appearance by saying that she looks like a man.

She is quoted as saying: “I think Susan looks a bit like Eddie Large facially, or Piers Morgan with a wig.

“That’s obviously why she loved him, because they always say you fall in love with someone you end up looking like.”

In April this year, Amanda Holden defended Susna Boyle’s image by insisting that she doesn’t need to be a “glamourpuss” to be successful.

Personally I find the hole thing out of taste

Dermot O’Leary has said that Susan Boyle will appear on the next series of The X Factor.

According to The Sun, programme bosses want the Britain’s Got Talent runner-up to mentor finalists in the over-25 group and perform alongside the singers.

O’Leary said: “Who she’s going to duet with – that’s the fun part.”

Regarding Boyle’s appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, he continued: “She was brilliant. I think finishing second was probably the best thing that could have happened to her.”

O’Leary added that The X Factor would have to improve if it is to beat the 19.2 million viewers recorded during the final of its reality talent competitor.

“We peaked at 13 million last year so we’ve got to get our act together. I’m sure that I will bump into Piers Morgan who is bound to remind me about it,” he said.

Simon Cowell insists Britain’s Got Talent acts are a surprise

Piers Morgan has said that Britain’s Got Talent judges are not given any prior information about auditionees on the show.

During the last series, critics had suggested that some elements of the programme had been scripted or pre-planned, a claim denied by contestants and producers.

Morgan told The Futon Critic: “Simon Cowell, the creator of the Got Talent format, he’s absolutely adamant we should never have any warning from the producers about what is going to come on stage in terms of their ability because, you know, sometimes we might get told their name and that’s about it.

“What Simon believes and I think he’s absolutely right is that if you have prior warning that someone’s going to be great then you don’t act surprised. I mean, why would you, you know?”

He added: “If we knew Susan Boyle had a voice like an angel we wouldn’t have been pulling all those faces and being rather condescending towards her.

“We would have been thinking, well let’s give her a couple of seconds to sing and then we’ll all know she’s great.”

Simon Cowell Boyle could not cope with losing

Simon Cowell want to work with Susan Boyle

Simon Cowell has admitted that he made errors in judgement over his handling of Susan Boyle.

The Britain’s Got Talent singer was admitted into the Priory clinic earlier this month after suffering from exhaustion following losing out to Diversity in the talent show’s final.

He told The Mirror: “I suddenly realised she didn’t know how to cope with losing. We didn’t handle it well.

“At the crucial point in the final, I looked at her face and thought, ‘Christ, she doesn’t know how to deal with not winning’. It was a bad moment.”

Boyle cancelled a fourth performance of the reality series’s live concerts in Cardiff last night.

Earlier this week, Cowell’s fellow judge Piers Morgan said that she was “mentally fine” and further accused the media of hypocrisy.

Susan Boyle has been offered the opportunity to perform on America’s Got Talent.

The 48-year-old Scottish singer will appear on the US version of the talent show as long as she is “well enough”, according to judge Piers Morgan.

“If she’s up for it and she is well enough, our feeling is she probably will [appear],” he said. “Absolutely!”

America’s Got Talent, which is judged by Morgan, David Hasselhoff and Sharon Osbourne, begins on NBC on June 23.

“Susan singing live to 25 million Americans? That would be great!” added Morgan.

Boyle’s brother John has previously revealed that 95% of the reality TV star’s fan-mail comes from America.

Piers Morgan: ‘Susan Boyle is fine’

Susan Boyle Biggest star on planet

Piers Morgan has said that Susan Boyle is “mentally fine” and will play a number of dates on the ongoing Britain’s Got Talent live tour.

Ahead of Boyle’s performance last night in Glasgow, Morgan told BBC HARDtalk that it was the attention of the media and not the reality talent show that had resulted in the singer’s admission to The Priory.

Morgan said: “She did three great shows and is now having a rest and she’ll be back for a few more shows. Susan’s fine.

“Susan Boyle’s fine. She has always been, in my view, mentally fine. The problems she found difficult as anybody would was this incredible worldwide attention.”

He added: “What I find even more hypocritical is that the broadcast media, and broadsheet media as well, they want to cover this story and the best way of covering it and to get the acres of publicity that you want for ratings is to somehow try and turn it into something more sinister than it was.”
