Eamonn Holmes reveals brutally honest opinion of Amanda Holden’s singing

Eamonn Holmes didn’t hold back when he offered his opinion on Amanda Holden’s singing voice following the release of her charity single.

During an interview on Friday’s episode of this morning, the TV presenter, 60, revealed he was concerned about her taking on a song with such a big reputation.

Amanda, 49, has released her own version of Over The Rainbow to raise funds for the National Health Service amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Eamon admitted he was ‘surprised’ that Amanda has a ‘beautiful’ singing voice, after listening to her track for the first time.

He told her: ‘I have to say it was very brave of you to [tackle a song] associated with Judy Garland and Eva Cassidy…’I was so surprised that you have a beautiful voice!’

Amanda couldn’t hide her surprise at Eamonn’s comments, but added that that she appreciated that he enjoyed her song.  

She said: ‘I like surprising people. I’m thrilled you like it. It’s a really nerve-wracking thing -especially being a judge on Britain’s Got Talent and now I’m being judged.’

After offering his opinion on her singing, Eamonn then admitted he thought Amanda was ‘bonkers’ while asking her how she was finding lockdown.  

He asked her: ‘What are you like to like with? You’re a lovely woman, but I sort of think is she slightly bonkers.’

Amanda replied: ‘I’m nice enough. It’s a terribly difficult time for everyone, it’s different for everyone.’ 

Detailing her experience with isolation, Amanda admitted that she is enjoying spending time at home with her family. 

She said: ‘I’ve enjoyed being with my man being with my girls, enjoying the downtime.

‘I’ve really relished being a wife and a mummy, I’ve been cooking from scratch.

‘I’ve really appreciated everything. I have time to stop and smell the roses, and remember what’s really important.’
