Amanda Holden reportedly has the same request every time she gets on a Ryanair flight according to her pal Alan Carr.

The 53-year-old was on flights to Italy with comedian Alan Carr when they filmed their Italian Job TV show, which is set to become the Spanish job when the show moves to Spain in the next season.

While flying to Italy on a Ryanair flight, Alan revealed that his travel companion was partial to a glass of rosé on the plane, but wasn’t able to enjoy it in the exact fashion that she prefers.

On the Saving Grace podcast with GK Barry, Alan revealed: ‘When we did the first series we flew with Ryanair and Amanda every time asking “Can I have ice with my rose”. I said “Love there is no ice,”

Unfortunately for Amanda, the airline couldn’t help her with this request: ‘Every time it’s like, “No.” Unless they scrape it off the wings love there’s not gonna be any ice on this flight.’

‘She thinks it’s the Ivy with wings.’

The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 53, and the Chatty Man, 47, purchased a dilapidated Tuscan home for 85p under Italy’s €1 home scheme, in the second season of the hit BBC show, Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job.

The scheme aimed to combat depopulation in rural towns by enticing new inhabitants.

In April it was reported that the friends’ efforts have paid off to the tune of a whopping £187,777 after they accepted an offer on the home two months after it was listed, according to The Mirror.

In the podcast, the former talk show host lifted the lid on several other celebrities, discussing some of the A-listers that previously appeared on his show.

He revealed in one edition of the show Lady Gaga was forced to urinate in a bin after her elaborate costume meant that she couldn’t get changed.

‘She was wearing a dress that was a massive bow and she had a big long fringe down [her face] and she couldn’t get out of it so she p****d in a bin.’ Alan said.

He also revealed that he would frequently get ‘really p****d’ on the show. He told Grace that on one occasion he got so drunk he brought up a guest’s lazy eye.

‘You got one on dim, you got one on dazzle. One eye looking at you one eye looking for you. But the thing is they kept topping up that bloody globe thing,’ he said.

He also reflected on a live TV mistake early in his career: ‘I did Crufts live and I had a seven-minute item about a dog and the dog slipped its lead and ran off.’
