Kirstie Allsopp praises ‘loyal’ Amanda Holden for defending her amid BGT 'trust fund' jibe
Kirstie Allsopp stood by Amanda Holden today after the Britain’s Got Talent star defended her during the live show. Amanda claimed she “loved” the Location, Location, Location star after impressionist comedian Suzi Wild made a joke about Kirstie relying on a “trust fund”.Kirstie, 50, said she “adores” Amanda in view of her 427,800 Twitter followers.The Channel 4 star was the subject of a few jokes earlier this evening when Britain’s Got Talent’s Suzi did a comedic impression of her during the show. Following the impression, that included references to a “trust fund” and the idea of Kirstie “throwing away diamonds”, Amanda defended her friend live on TV.Much to fellow judge Simon Cowell’s shock, Amanda insisted she “loved” Kirstie while she was giving feedback to Suzi. “I adore @AmandaHolden always have, she’s gusty, funny and, it turns out loyal,” Kirstie penned.“I gather some of the silly lies printed, but then deleted, by the ST & @thetimes are perhaps being repeated by a @BGT act? “I will look into this tomorrow,” she concluded firmly, referencing an earlier public disagreement she’d had with the aforementioned publications.The piece in question claimed Kirstie was enraged by young people saying they could not afford to buy a home, despite the presenter coming from a middle class background herself.  However, Kirstie subsequently received an apology from the paper for misquoting her about young people being able to get on the property ladder.Nevertheless, it appears the story stuck in the mind of comedian Suzi, who joked about Kirstie’s “privileged” outlook on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent this evening. Pretending to be Lorraine Kelly, Suzi began: “Oh this is a good one, right.

Simon Cowell touched by girlfriend Lauren Silverman's heartfelt gesture to his late father
Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell, 62, might have been known as Mr Nasty during his X-Factor reign, but he demonstrated his softer side when he spoke of how emotional Lauren Silverman's gesture had made him."Even though Lauren had never met my dad, she knew my relationship with him," he revealed."[She] felt quite passionately that he should be named after my dad. I thought that was sweet," he told The Mirror.He also admitted that while the arrival of a new child turned the lives of some parents "upside down", he was loving it.Simon's father, Eric Phillip Cowell, was a record label director, but he sadly died more than 20 years ago in 1999.He had been born in 1918 in London's East End to a family of rope-makers.After bucking the trend in his family and opting to become a chartered surveyor instead, Eric then sold off the business in his 60s.He had also been heavily involved in the music industry and was responsible for Simon's first step to fame.Ultimately becoming the director of the record label EMI, it was Eric who arranged for his son to work at the company.He became an A&R rep - and the rest is history.Tragically, however, his beloved dad never lived to see the biggest heights of his career, as he died the day that Westlife made it to the top of the charts.The Irish boyband had been under Simon's wing at the time.He has since described his father's death as "the worst day of my life"."I phoned him to tell him about [Westlife's] Number One, because that's what I did — when something good happened, I called my dad," he later explained to the Daily Mail."It was the ultimate irony.The worst thing that could happen and the best — all in one day."It just shocked me to the core.
