Simon Cowell was all praises for fellow ‘BGT’ judge, Amanda Holden

After nearly two decades of unforgettable performances, outrageous auditions, and emotional golden buzzers, Britain’s Got Talent has finally declared its true royalty — and it’s none other than Amanda Holden.
In a heartwarming and headline-making moment, Simon Cowell himself dubbed Amanda the “Queen of Britain’s Got Talent,” cementing her legacy on the show that has become a staple of British television. The comment came after a particularly electric night during the Blackpool auditions, where Amanda’s dazzling appearance, emotional insights, and unwavering support for the acts left even Cowell speechless.
“Amanda isn’t just part of this show — she is the show,” Simon said, turning to the crowd and the cameras with the kind of firm conviction that only he can deliver. “She’s the queen of BGT and has been since day one.”
Holden, visibly moved by the declaration, responded with a heartfelt smile: “I’m so lucky to be part of this incredible family. Simon has always believed in me, and we’ve grown this show together. To hear those words from him… I’ll treasure it forever.”
Amanda Holden joined the panel in the very first season in 2007 and has been a constant presence through every evolution of the series. Known for her glamour, fearless fashion, quick wit, and fierce defense of her favorite acts, she’s become a fan favorite — and now, officially crowned royalty.
Cowell’s public praise comes at a time when BGT is once again revamping its format, adding unexpected twists and high-stakes drama to keep the competition fresh. And through it all, Amanda has remained the show’s emotional core — connecting with contestants, fighting for underdogs, and never backing down when it counts.
Fans have long referred to her as BGT’s queen, but now it’s official. Social media erupted with support after Cowell’s statement aired, with hashtags like #QueenAmanda and #BGTROYALTY trending across the UK.
Whether she’s dazzling in couture or tearing up at a touching performance, Amanda Holden continues to reign supreme — and with Simon Cowell’s seal of approval, her crown just got a little shinier.
All hail Amanda Holden, the undisputed Queen of Britain’s Got Talent. 👑
