BRITAIN’S Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell reunited over the Easter weekend in matching loungewear.
The pals huddled together when the show returned to screens this weekend, enjoying a last-minute dinner with pal Joan Collins.
At the last meeting, Amanda looked stunning in a blue set of loungewear, while Simon, 62, who sat on a cream couch with a giant TV remote next to him, wore a similar gray outfit.
Amanda, 51, who was sitting on the coffee table petting one of Simon’s dogs, joked that they looked like they were prisoners.
She captioned the picture:#PrisonChic Easter break 🐣 Hope you all enjoyed your return @BGT ?”
But fans were quick to say the same in the comments section as they weighed in on their disappointment with the latest episodes.
Many expressed their fury at the “fix” that has dominated social media in recent days.
One viewer commented on singer Lauren Allred, who received a Golden Buzzer on Saturday’s episode despite already appearing on The Greatest Showman.
They were indignant: “I can’t cope with such obvious settings! The American was really undeniably amazing, but he was too tuned in for me!!”
Another echoed the sentiment, noting, “Don’t like it when professionals are allowed, this should be an amateur platform.”
The third answered Amanda’s question: “You mean the falsified version?”
The fourth said, “Now this is too staged.”
A fifth said: “It’s a pity that this is not a British show, demonstrating the talents of the British public. American singer educated in Hollywood.
The Sun reveals how Lauren Allred hit the big time in the US after singing the Never Enough anthem in the world-famous film The Greatest Showman.
But Lauren has since defended her background in the music industry, insisting, “I’m an unsigned, independent artist who’s still trying to make a name for herself.”
Lauren said, “Even though I’ve spent many years in the music industry, people don’t know who I am. All these years I have fought for my chance to be famous and to do it.
“The opportunity to sing Never Enough came about because she was a session singer in a choir, and although the song was a big success, people still think it was an actress who sang it.
“I never had the opportunity to tell my story. This has never happened to me.”
Lauren wasn’t the only controversy plaguing the show this weekend.
Fans called the show “fake” after nervous father Nick Edwards took the stage, saying he had no idea his two young daughters had secretly set up an audition for him.
Nick looked shocked as he was dragged from the audience, but many in the audience didn’t believe it, as they noticed that he was already wearing a microphone.
A BGT spokesperson was forced to come out and deny the allegations of the fix, insisting that Nick only had a microphone as he was told he was part of the Gogglebox show audience being filmed for their reaction.
