Britain's Got Talent in chaos as Amanda Holden sets her sights on move to LA

Amanda Holden has set her sights on LA as she plans to quit the UK and move stateside.

The long-standing Britain's Got Talent judge has appeared on the show since it premiered in 2007, and may have to step down from the show if her move goes ahead. Amanda, 52, has reportedly put her London home on the market and has been in numerous meetings with TV executives and producers in Los Angeles.

Amanda is reportedly keen to move the entire family across to the US as her eldest model daughter Lexi is said to be looking at universities abroad in LA, Boston and New York. Amanda, who is also mum to daughter Hollie, 11, visited the set of Simon Cowell's America's Got Talent alongside her producer husband Chris Hughes.

An insider told The Sun: “Amanda is seriously contemplating a move to the States. It feels like the time is now. She spent the school hols in LA with the whole family, and had a wonderful time.

“She’s been hanging out with Simon and his fiancee, Lauren, who have been encouraging her to make the move, and enjoy the sunshine and blue skies permanently.

“She even visited the set of America’s Got Talent, and sat alongside judges Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara. The producers absolutely loved her," the source added.

“She fitted in really well; the dynamic with the three women worked, and producers traditionally always have a Brit on the panel.

“Amanda’s had interest from a couple of top agents too, and it just feels like now could be the time to make the leap. Some exciting conversations are being had.”

Britain's Got Talent returned to screens last weekend as new judge Bruno Tonioli made his debut alongside Amanda, Simon and Alesha Dixon. BGT returns to screens on Saturday night on ITV and ITVX.
