4 weeks agoNew York StateComments Off on Amanda Holden rates her fave BGT looks including a dress so revealing it ‘almost won most Ofcom complaints of the year’
AMANDA Holden is well-known for wowing Britain’s Got Talent viewers with her stylish statement outfits.
Admitting she tends “to go all out,” she’s rated her most iconic looks over the years – including a cheeky low cut black dress that she says nearly won her the most “Ofcom complaints of the year” award.

Groaning in laughter, she looked at an extremely revealing Julian McDonald dress, which she says was “held together with a piece of fish wire” across her chest.
The flashy number had caused quite a stir when she wore it for the series 11 semi-final in 2017.
“I stand by that dress, I still would wear it to this day – although I doubt I’d get into it,” Amanda laughed.
Lady in red
Beaming at one of her “favourite looks ever,” Amanda looked back at a gorgeous red gown she donned for the series 3 final in 2009.
The stunning dress was designed by Australian designer Tamara Ralph of Ralph and Russo and featured a slinky fitted body, fishtail hem and statement diamante bow.

Amanda laughed as she admitted she felt like a “giant sweetie.”
She said she’d been stitched directly into the dress, which left her unable to sit down all evening and perched on the edge of her seat during judging.
“But I didn’t care, because I looked snatched,” she joked.
Skintight
Another outfit that left viewers breathless was the jaw-dropping pink latex dress she wore for the series 15 auditions, which she paired with a glam pair of pink stilettos.
Amanda joked that she reckons the skin-tight dress caused her to “lose half a stone in sweat that day,” but said that she “loved it.”

The TV personality told viewers about a seamstress who works behind-the-scenes on BGT, who takes care of any alterations needed by the star-studded judging panel.
She said the seamstress had painstakingly hand-stitched every single jewel into the dress, for her to wear for the season 15 semi final in 2022.

Describing the dress as both “epic” and “heavy,” Amanda said she also “loved” this one too.
Amanda’s Madonna moment
Revealing her favourite outfit of all time which emphasised her “muscley arms like Madonna,” Amanda gushed over her outfit for the series 17 final in 2024.
The gorgeous statement dress featured a black bodice with a racy low-cut neckline and mesh skirt.

Also in her throwback looks were her series 2 finals Union Jack dress, which Amanda said was “obviously trying to emulate” Ginger Spice and her gorgeous series 5 live performance outfit honouring her role of Princess Fiona in the West End production of Shrek.

And in a moment that she said was even “more terrifying” than performing live as Princess Fiona, Amanda recalled the time she sang her own song ‘Not While I’m Around’ live on the Britain’s Got Talent stage.
For her performance, she donned a stunning long-sleeve white gown, which she said made her look “very innocent and angelic.”

4 weeks agoNew York StateComments Off on ‘Save money AND stay comfortable’ – Driving pro reveals 20p hack to banish mould from your car in damp winter months
A DRIVING pro has revealed a 20p hack to banish mould from your car in the damp winter months.
The pro revealed this unlikely pet product acts as a dehumidifier.
Mould can build up in damp, unclean areasGetty Images To prevent mould it is important to regularly clean your carGetty Images
Drivers wanting to prevent the mould from forming in the first place should consider this hack, Darren Miller, from the vehicle buying service BigWantsYourCar.com, suggests.
The trick is to place a full sock of cat litter on the car windscreen and allow it to soak up the moisture in the air.
By soaking up the moisture it will prevent mould from forming as once it appears, it can be difficult to get rid of.
Cat litter can be bought from Amazon for as little as £3.19 for a 4L bag.
Add a small scoop to a sock and it could cost you just 20p.
AIR CONDITIONING
Darren also recommends regularly running the air conditioning system to prevent mould.
He explained: “Effective use of your vehicle’s heating and air conditioning systems is a strategic approach to controlling interior moisture levels.
“These systems are not merely for comfort; they are important for maintaining a dry and mould-free environment.”
For those already experiencing minor instances of mould using cleaning cloths can be surprisingly effective.
So long as the driver and/or passengers can face the winter chill outside.
AVOID EATING AND DRINKING
Another hack the driving pro revealed is to minimise eating and drinking in your car.
He said: “Minimising eating and drinking inside vehicles significantly reduces the likelihood of mould.
“Even minor spills and crumbs can create an environment for mould growth.
“This is because organic materials and liquids provide the perfect breeding ground for mould. In the event of spills, immediate cleanup is important.”
WATER DAMAGE
Another issue, repeatedly overlooked is dealing with water damage quickly.
The key problem area is he scuttle panel below the windscreen wipers, Darren explained.
This area is important for water drainage but can often get clogged up with leaves, flower petals, and other debris, causing water to back up, which can then enter the air conditioning and heating systems,” he said.
“Water damage can quickly escalate into a mould problem if not addressed, emphasising the importance of monitoring for leaks and ensuring proper vehicle maintenance.”
The expert listed signs of water damage, including damp carpets, a musty smell, or water stains.
“These can also often be the first sign of a more serious issue, such as a leaky sunroof or door seal, which requires immediate repair to prevent mould,” Darren added.
He advised regular checks and drainage of these areas.
Visible mould growth on upholstery, carpets or other interior surfaces
Increased allergy symptoms
Mould spores can be potentially hazardous, causing or worsening respiratory issues and allergic reactions.
“It’s important to be aware of the dangers that mould can pose to your health and keep an eye out for any signs of it in your vehicle,” said Darren.
“Checking your car regularly for signs of moisture or mould, even in places you can’t easily see, like under the seats or carpets, is key to maintaining a healthy environment inside your car and avoiding expensive cleaning fees.”

SURPRISE, surprise Manchester United are the Premier League’s worst spenders – and the club have absolutely nothing to show for it.
In fact, United’s horrendous recruitment decisions are one of the main reasons that the club—who sit 15th in the Prem—is going through their worst period since the 1973-74 relegation campaign.

Prem leaders Liverpool are 10th on the spending list after clever transfer movements
To make matters worse, the Red Devils have spent FOUR TIMES more than Prem leaders Liverpool – who are running away with the title.
United’s hierarchy, both before and afterIneos came on board a year ago, have spent recklessly and without direction.
Put into numbers, United have spent, since 2019, a net amount of £810m – compared to Liverpool’s £212m.
Old Trafford chiefs meanwhile can boast one Carabao Cup and one FA Cup, but a closer look will tell you those successes covered for some dire Prem campaigns – including a record low of eighth last season.
The once-feared Manchester outfit have actually spent more than £1 billion since 2019, with only £285m raised in departures.
That period has seen several different managers take the helm and includes some of the worst transfer business ever.
Jadon Sancho was a £72m capture from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, but will permanently join Chelseathis summer for around £25m having massively underwhelmed in M16.
United madeHarry Maguirethe most expensive centre-half in theworldwhilst Erik ten Hag spent a combined £140m to sign Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund in successive summers.
Ten Hag pushed to splash millions on former Ajax players and even handed over £60m to Chelsea for Mason Mount, whose injury record has seen him play just 32 games for United since June 2023.
The truth is, the net spend is the worst in the league because United are struggling to flog players.
Ironically, the money banked for Mason Greenwood (£26.6m) and Scott McTominay (£25m) in the summer are among the biggest United sales of all time.
Gary Nevillepreviously declared Old Trafford a “graveyard” for players with so many of their big name signings failing to deliver while others have been moved on for huge losses.
That takes into consideration £884m spent on new signings and £308m in sales, but Spurs have gone trophy-less for 17 years.
Fans will also look back on the club-record fee received forHarry Kaneand wonder how it was, once again, so poorly invested.
Ange Postecoglou‘s lack of squad depth is currently front and centre as the lack of quality beyond the starting XI is evident as they’re working towards solving a hefty injury list.
Spurs’ rivals and title challengers Arsenal are fourth on the ‘worst spent’ list, with £563m in the red.
David Raya (£27m), Riccardo Calafiori (£42m), and Mikel Merino (£31m) were the major arrivals but Emile Smith Rowe (£27m), Aaron Ramsdale (£18m) and Eddie Nketiah (£25m) all departed.
Newcastle, West Ham and Newcastle make up fifth through to seventh respectively.
Arsenal’s total is £563m in the red
Seven-time champions Manchester City being down in ninth on the list would be a surprise to some.
In total, the Etihad giants are third for outlays on around £986m.
Omar Marmoush’s arrival is fourth in their all-time list, just behind Ruben Dias and then a way off Josko Gvardiol (£77m) and record-signing Jack Grealish who cost £100m.
As with Chelsea, though, City fetch huge sales for selling off a wave of youngsters good enough for many teams but just not quite at Pep Guardiola’s required elite level.
The Julian Alvarez deal could rise to £81.5m while the money for Taylor Harwood-Bellis (£20m), Liam Delap (£15m), Sergio Gomez (£8.4m) and Tommy Doyle (£4.3m) racks up.
Top City striker Julian Alvarez was sold to Atletico Madrid in the summer
After Alvarez, City’s other biggest sales in the period are Raheem Sterling, Ferran Torres, Gabriel Jesus, Leroy Sane and Cole Palmer (all between £47.5m and £40m).
Nottingham Forest even crept above City on the spending chart because their net spend is marginally higher.
Last summer, Forest went all out with their signings in an effort to ensure that they remained in the top-flight at the first time of asking, bringing in dozens of new players.
Sales have been much harder to come by though, with their most notable departure being that of Matty Cash to Aston Villa in 2020.
But it’s paid off as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are enjoying a breakthrough season as the club sit third in the table.
Lastly, Liverpool’s brilliantly astute and clever recruitment practices speak for themselves.
Perhaps it is no surprise to see Liverpool with the best net spend of the ‘Big Six’ on a mere £282m over the past nine seasons.
In fact, the Reds have actually made a profit in the 2024-25 campaign by only buying Federico Chiesa for £10m and raising £50m in sales from Fabio Carvalho (£20m), Sepp van den Berg (£20m) and Bobby Clark (£10m).
It continued a wise – and successful – transfer strategy that has seen Liverpool sell big and then wait to find the right players at the right time for the right price.
Man Utd ratings v Spurs
MANCHESTER UNITED slipped to a 12th defeat in the Premier League with Rasmus Hojlund coming under fire again.
Here’s how SunSport’s Katherine Walsh rated the Manchester United players against an underachieving Spurs side – who are now three places above them in 12th – in North London.
Andre Onana – 3
United can’t do anything with him between the sticks. Can’t be trusted to collect anything.
His opposite number Vicario showed him a thing or two after returning for the first time since Spurs thrashed Man City in November.
At fault for the first goal when he palmed out a relatively weak bouncing shot into Maddison’s path in the 13th minute.
Noussair Mazraoui – 5
An OK performance. Clever link-up play with Zirkzee but couldn’t get hold of Spence down the left-hand side.
Pulled out an excellent cross for the Dutchman’s headed chance late-on.
Matthijs de Ligt – 6
His clearance stopped an obvious 2-0 before the half-an-hour mark.
Harry Maguire – 5
A mixed bag. Long ball over the top for Hojlund’s chance in opening 10 minutes and went on a few attacking runs himself in the first half.
Did well to stop Dejan Kulusevski from having a go at the edge of the box. But bizarrely stopped in his tracks when a cross came flying into Son later on.
Diogo Dalot – 6
A difficult afternoon for the Portugal international as Son and Djed Spence left him for dead a few times.
Hesitated when asked to shoot from five yards to make it 1-0 but helped Onana out with some clearances too.
Patrick Dorgu – 4
A Prem debut to forget. He was almost invisible from the left-hand side. And lacked quality when asked to get involved more in the second half.
Was stupidly caught offside with Bruno Fernandes offloading a stunning cross pitch pass and booked late-on.
Casemiro – 5
Looked every bit a player that hasn’t played Premier League football for two months. Unsurprisingly booked for a late one on Son.
Bizarrely dropped to the turf asking for a free-kick when nobody touched him. Was forced to play 89 minutes with eight teenagers on the bench. A difficult afternoon, indeed.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Interceptions and breaking up play is not a part of the captain’s game. An uncharacteristically poor cross left United open on the counter.
Did get back to stop Son from having a shot at Onana on the hour mark and started ticking in attack in the final 20 minutes.
Alejandro Garnacho – 4
Looked shaky and cut a frustrated figure after blazing over an absolute SITTER from 10 yards to level the scores.
A bit of a shocker and looked a completely different player to the one who got United into the fifth-round of the FA Cup last week.
Woke up a bit in the second half as Vicario kept him at bay with several superb stops. But the 20-year-old is clearly better off the bench.
Joshua Zirkzee – 6
The best of a desperately poor front three. There’s a street player in there and he’s great with his touches at times.
But curled wide from 23 yards, stuck a header wide in the 70th minute and kicked an air shot in the final five minutes.
Rasmus Hojlund – 3
Is Hojlund the worst No 9 in United’s recent history?
The young Dane, who was unlucky to have a chance saved by Vicario, was second best in every loose ball and kept losing possession.
He was even caught offside after a pass from an Onana goal-kick in the first half – how often do you see that happen?
