Amanda Holden says it's 'in my will' as she shares unusual final wish for her funeral
TV favourite Amanda Holden has left fans stunned with the revelation of a quirky request she's included in her will.
During an on-air chat with Jason King, covering Jamie Theakston's slot on Heart Breakfast this Wednesday, September 4th, the Britain's Got Talent judge shared her peculiar preference.
The duo of Amanda and JK reminisced about feeling "starstruck" over a surprise visit from a music legend to their studio, leaving listeners hanging on their every word.
The celeb presenter gushed: "Well, I am one of the biggest fan... I mean all of us are a fan. There is no doubt. I don't know anyone that does not like Abba, and Bjorn (Ulvaeus) was here. I mean, I could barely speak; he just casually walked in."

', because - and I genuinely meant that."
Amanda jovially replied: "Just put the bit in where I said I've got Dancing Queen in my will where I'm lowered into the ground because that's the truth. That is in my will."
Amanda Holden flaunted her undying fandom for the Swedish pop group on social media in 2023, sharing snaps outside an arena where she had been experiencing the magic of ABBA live in concert.
