How driven Amanda Holden's lucrative Netflix 'dream job' is a final triumph over showbiz enemies who branded her a 'bimbo' - after clawing her career back from THAT Les Dennis cheating scandal to become one of TV's top power players

MailOnline exclusively revealed the Britain's Got Talent judge, 53, has signed a lucrative deal with Netflix to front a new dating show called Cheaters: Unfinished Business, which she's dubbed her 'dream job.' Securing the sought-after gig is the latest life goal to fall into place for Amanda, who recently moved into her forever home, a mansion in the Cotswolds she has transformed into her own 'Beverly Hills hotel', which makes the struggle, pain and sacrifices she made throughout her three decades in showbiz all worth it. But Amanda's success has been no fluke, she's not become one of the biggest stars on TV just because of her model looks, dirty laugh and wicked sense of humour. She's a steely-eyed, super ambitious power player and is certainly no push over as the enemies she's made over the years, namely Phillip Schofield and Sharon Osbourne , will testify.

For a news anchor generally regarded as the pre-eminent talent of his generation, it was a brutal 55-word goodbye from his employers. 'Huw Edwards has today resigned and left the BBC . After 40 years of service, Huw has explained that his decision was made on the basis of medical advice from his doctors. 'The BBC has accepted his resignation which it believes will allow all parties to move forward. We don't believe it appropriate to comment further.' And that was it.

'If you crossed him, you were done for': After her toxic fall-out with Phillip Schofield, how Fern Britton is having the last laugh, reveals KATIE HIND, with a very surprising new comeback...

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 9, 2024
When Fern Britton made her return to the This Morning studios at the end of March, it was an emotional moment. While the location was different - ITV have moved buildings since her departure in 2009 - it brought back some memories for the star. Not all of them good. Mostly, say friends of Fern, because of how her exit, back in 2009, was mired in such bitter acrimony following a fall out with her co-host Phillip Schofield. So powerful was he at the time that their feud meant there could only be one winner, and Fern quickly found herself pushed aside to make way for the much younger Holly Willoughby - Schofield's then best friend. But once again on the sofa, those who know Fern say that she was 'thrilled' to be back as she was interviewed by new hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley about her three-week stint on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother. 'Fern felt right at home,' says a friend. 'It was quite something for her to return to the show after what went on with her and Phillip but she loved it.'
