We’ve spent lots of special moments together this year.” In an ITV interview for the show, she divulged: “As Sydnie was my golden buzzer and won the show, I’ve actually asked Simon Cowell for a holiday in the Maldives and a renewal of contract as a bonus!

He said he’s thinking about the first one!” Amanda, 53, has been a judge on Britain’s Got Talent since its launch in 2007 and clearly isn’t shy about jokingly making the most of her successes on the show to negotiate a few extra perks.The Royal Variety Performance, airing on ITV on Sunday, marks another milestone in Amanda’s career as she takes the stage to host the show alongside her close friend Alan Carr.
