Amanda Holden ready to crack America

Talent show judge Amanda Holden has admitted that she is keen to crack America.

Holden has begged her Britain's Got Talent co-star Simon Cowell to give her a job on a US show.

"I'd love to be a judge or do the links on a show out there," Holden is quoted by The Mirror as saying.

Amanda and her fiancé Chris Hughes will soon fly to Los Angeles to visit the American Idol studios for a live show.

The 37-year-old recently revealed that her ex-husband Les Dennis would seduce her with his impression of classic Coronation Street character Mavis Riley.
