Amanda Holden has caused embarrassment to her Heart Breakfast producer by discussing her intention to clear her daughter’s phone completely. This declaration was made during a conversation on air with her colleague Jamie Theakston regarding children’s use of social media and her skepticism towards Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
During their discussion on the show dated June 12, Jamie brought up Starmer’s rumored proposal to implement a social media curfew for 16 and 17-year-olds, possibly to be announced as early as next Monday.
Amanda, who is a mother to daughters Lexi and Hollie with her husband Chris Hughes, expressed support for the concept but questioned the Prime Minister’s motives and the feasibility of enforcing such a measure.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge remarked that increasing the age restriction on social media is a widely favored idea in the country and criticized Starmer for potentially using it as a political maneuver to boost his leadership standing.
Amanda also raised concerns about the practicality of regulating age verification on social media platforms, particularly emphasizing her plan to clear all content from her daughter’s phone, despite the anticipated resistance from her child.
Furthermore, Amanda shared insights about her marriage during a previous broadcast, disclosing that she and her husband prioritize frequent kissing based on research suggesting a minimum of 10 kisses per week for a happy marriage.
In a lighter moment on the show, Amanda joked about her kissing habits with her husband, prompting friendly banter with Jamie and providing a glimpse into her personal life.
As the conversation veered towards personal matters, Amanda noticed her producer’s reaction and humorously acknowledged the shift from political discourse to more intimate topics, showcasing a moment of lightheartedness on the show.
