Amanda Holden Reportedly Torn About Next Career Move

Amanda Holden has an enormous career decision to make!

The media personality reportedly needs help choosing between staying in the United Kingdom and following through on her plans to move to the United States to explore new opportunities. The update comes amid Holden potentially landing a role in a yet-to-be-disclosed Hollywood project. 

From addressing the speculation of a feud between her and television presenter Holly Willoughby to her ex-husband Les Dennis disclosing he has forgiven her for cheating on him during their marriage, the last few weeks have seen Holden's name splashed across multiple headlines.

New reports claim that the "Britain's Got Talent" judge has had a tough time deciding between remaining in the UK and relocating to the US. According to a source who spoke to Closer, the 52-year-old "is feeling really torn right now about her future," especially since she has "people in her ear encouraging her to strike while the iron is hot to cover for Holly on 'This Morning.'"

"While on the other [hand], she's got her dream of working in America lined up with job offers in place working on the current affairs show Inside Edition. She just wants to make sure she plays her cards right over the next few weeks, but right now, she's not sure what move she should make," the insider added. 

The source also noted that while Holden would "take great delight in accepting a role on the This Morning sofa," she has been informed that "ITV bosses may call her up at any moment and give her an offer to come back, but she's already got dates in the diary with a lot of other offers going on, so it's a really tricky time for her."

They then expressed that the Portsmouth-born beauty wished "she could get someone else to make the decision for her as she doesn't want to make the wrong one." Ultimately, the "Wild at Heart" star has hopes of leaving it "to fate but she's being pressured by her team to come to a decision."

This is not the first time that Holden's internal struggles would be publicized. Back in April, The Blast reported that the "I Can See Your Voice" alum was seriously considering moving to the States with her daughter, Alexa Louise Florence Hughes, reportedly looking at three universities there.

At the time, another insider had stated that the "Big Top" actress "spent the school hols in LA with the whole family and had a wonderful time." She also hung out with her boss, Simon Cowell, and his fiancee, Lauren Silverman, and they encouraged her to "make a move and enjoy the sunshine and blue skies permanently."

If the singer decides to follow through and move to the US, it is uncertain if she will quit "Britain's Got Talent" or fly back every week to film it.

It was announced last year that Holden would be hosting a racy docuseries on Sky titled "Horrible Histories for grown-ups." The WhatsOnStage Award winner's involvement was teased on Instagram with pictures that showed her dressed as Cleopatra and Marilyn Monroe. 

She subsequently spoke on the project when sharing her reason for skipping the National Television Awards in October 2022 even though "BGT" had been nominated in a major category. In her words:

"I've just started filming a brand new series for Sky, which is going to be a lot of fun, and it may be slightly controversial. It's going to be a programme where you're going to learn something as well, a proper history lesson."

She added that the exciting project is a "factual programme about a taboo subject" that will allow fans to see her "getting her hands dirty." A source reiterated that even though the docuseries was filled with "facts, information and educational moments," Holden ensured she included her "own style to it." Elaborating more on the production's objective, the insider explained:

"This generation thinks it's at the forefront of sexual exploration, but we really know nothing compared to the Romans or even the Regency period."

They further shared that the "As If We Never Said Goodbye" singer would wear befitting costumes to imitate several historical figures on screen.
