Amanda Holden gave her Heart Radio co-presenters, Ashley Roberts and Jason King, a good chuckle on Thursday’s show, after making a confession about her intense pregnancy cravings.
The 53-year-old television star admitted that while carrying her second daughter Hollie, now 12, she had a strong craving for cold watermelon and even had the peculiar urge to lick cold glasses.
Quizzed on her cravings, she shared: “I craved cold melon, like cold watermelon, the red melon.
“At the time I was pregnant with Hollie, I was doing the musical Shrek and I used to come into town and I, this is really bad, I used to see people outside with their pints of beer with the sort of condensation on, you know, super chilled.”
She candidly added: “I literally had to stop myself from getting out of the car and licking their glasses,” reports the Mirror.
As her stunned co-stars laughed at her admission, she added: “It was just cold, I just wanted cold stuff.”
Visualising the scenario, JK humorously remarked: “Can you imagine though if you’re just having a drink, ‘I think that was Amanda Holden who just licked my corona bottle’.”
Ashley responded with a laugh, saying: “What a sight!”.
Amanda, who is mum to two daughters with her husband Chris Hughes, shared her cravings upon finding out about Line Of Duty star Anna Maxwell Martin’s sandwich and mayonnaise phobia.
In a recent candid revelation on the Dish podcast, she disclosed: “If I’m on a set and sandwiches are brought on – it’s hard for me to even say that word – I’d have to say, ‘Get that out’.
“‘Sorry other actors, you’re not eating. Or if you want to eat, step outside. But not in here’.
“I think there is a trauma. It’s not about sandwiches, but I was sick all through my pregnancies. Sick, sick, sick as a dog. Sick, sick, sick. So now I also have a problem with fridges as well.”
Following her admission, Amanda suggested that Anna should perhaps seek assistance from the Speakmans, known for their two-decade track record of helping individuals with various disorders.
