Amanda Holden dazzles at Crufts
“How gorgeous is this? Thank you so much @bethwilsonembroidery @barkingandmeowingheads,” Amanda Holden exclaimed as she showcased her custom-made jacket at Crufts. The jacket, designed by Beth Wilson Embroidery, features embroidered portraits of Holden’s two dogs, Rudie and Buddy, along with blue hearts, making it a personal and stylish statement.
Holden, who is a brand ambassador for Barking Heads, shared the jacket with her 2.8 million Instagram followers, highlighting the unique craftsmanship of Beth Wilson, the owner and lead designer at Beth Wilson Embroidery. Wilson’s work has garnered attention from high-profile clients, including Charlotte Tilbury and Victoria’s Secret, and she was recognized as Small Business of the Year at the Tees Businesswomen Awards in 2025.
The event comes at a time when Holden is also in the spotlight for her role on Britain’s Got Talent. The show has recently faced challenges, with the first episode of its 19th series attracting just 3 million viewers, marking the lowest viewership ever. The second episode saw a further decline, with 100,000 fewer viewers tuning in.
Despite these setbacks, Holden remains optimistic about the show’s format. “I think it’s because it is a strong format, and it brings different things,” she stated, emphasizing the chemistry of the judging panel as a key strength. This season has seen the introduction of KSI as a new judge, following Bruno Tonioli’s exit.
Holden’s remarks reflect a broader sentiment among the show’s fans and producers, as they navigate the evolving landscape of television viewership. Bookmakers currently place the odds of this being Britain’s Got Talent’s final series at 7/4, indicating a growing concern about the show’s future.
As the series progresses, viewers will be watching closely to see if the show’s dynamics can attract a larger audience and if Holden’s vibrant presence, both on and off the stage, can help rejuvenate interest in the beloved talent competition.
