Amanda Holden has spoken out about an embarrassing moment from the new series of Britain's Got Talent.
The 41-year-old actress revealed that fellow panellist Simon Cowell deceived her into thinking an auditioning contestant was pregnant.
"Simon's always playing pranks on me but the most memorable one involved a contestant," she recalled to the official Got Talent website.
"Just before she came on stage, Simon whispered in my ear that she was pregnant.
"Naturally, I congratulated her and it turned out she wasn't and it was one of Simon's fibs. I was so embarrassed."
Holden also stated that she is now a harder judge to please, adding: "There probably hasn't been any hard 'No's.
"I think each year I get tougher, because the show is bigger and better. 2012 is a massive year for Great Britain, you just think, 'I need to find the best. It's a no'."
Series six of Britain's Got Talent launches on Saturday, March 24 at 8pm on ITV1.
