Amanda Holden, renowned Britain’s Got Talent judge and Heart Radio presenter, has unveiled exciting details about an upcoming live broadcast with Prince William. On Tuesday, May 19, Amanda and her co-host Jamie Theakston announced that the future King will join them for a special live programme from the beautiful Isles of Scilly in Cornwall.
Prince William will visit the island group on Friday, May 22, to officially open a new healthcare facility. This development, funded by the Duchy of Cornwall, is designed to enhance medical services and accessibility for the island’s remote population. By integrating NHS and social care services, the redevelopment aims to build a stronger, sustainable healthcare system for the community.
During the live show, Prince William will tour the new facility and explore other ongoing community projects on the islands. The announcement sparked excitement among listeners, many eager to see the royal guest in action.

When asked about her outfit for the day, Amanda, 55, shared a candid response: “We’re going to keep it quite casual since we’re by the sea. I might even wear trainers instead of heels in case I need to run around.”
Adding a surprising twist, Amanda revealed her plan to get Prince William into the kitchen during the broadcast. “I feel like I might need to have a pinny”—an apron—“all kinds of things are going through my head. The poor man doesn’t know what he’s let himself in for,” she joked.
Ahead of the live event, Amanda also issued a playful caution to the future King about his language. “I literally cannot wait to make a bacon sarnie with him, although I’ll be having a vegetarian sausage,” she said, before warning, “So, no swearing, Your Royal Highness.”
This marks yet another memorable interaction between Amanda and the Royal Family. Earlier in 2024, she shared moments with King Charles at The Royal Variety Performance, offering heartfelt advice to the monarch amidst his recent cancer treatment. Amanda’s caring nature and warm humor have clearly endeared her to the royal circle.
Listeners can catch the live broadcast via Global Player, Amanda and Jamie’s new YouTube channel, and Instagram, promising a unique blend of royal engagement and down-to-earth fun from the Isles of Scilly.
