Amanda HoldenAmanda Holden has reportedly been offered a hosting job in the US on the strength of her Britain’s Got Talent success.

The former actress has been offered the chance to present The Early Show in June, with the possibility of the job becoming hers permanently.

A source told the Mirror: “It is widely being seen as a live screen test and Amanda is being lined up as a long-term host.

“Network executives [have been] blown away by Amanda’s cut-glass British accent and warm personality.

“But she has never presented any kind of hard news before so it is quite a challenge. She has a lot of live TV experience under her belt, and has presented before - but she is understandably pretty nervous.”

A spokesperson for the actress confirmed the news: “It is true. Amanda is thrilled.”
