Amanda Holden has been announced as co-host of the new nationwide ‘Heart Breakfast’ show.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge is "thrilled" to have landed the role alongside Jamie Theakston but admitted she will need to adjust for the new early starts on the radio show, which will launch on June 3rd.
Amanda said: "I’m thrilled to be hosting the brand-new national ‘Heart Breakfast’ show from June 3rd with the fab Jamie Theakston.
