Amanda Holden admits she struggled ‘not to judge’ the cast of Cheat: Unfinished Business
Despite her own marriage ending after she had an affair with Neil Morrissey
Amanda Holden has opened up about one of the aspects she struggled with in her role of presenting Cheat: Unfinished Business on Netflix, alongside MAFS UK icon Paul Brunson.
The host opened up about her own experiences with cheating after her marriage to Les Dennis ended after an affair with Neil Morrissey.
Amanda Holden admitted that it was “very hard” for her to try and be neutral towards all of the couples on Cheat: Unfinished Business.
She revealed to The Mirror: “Oh my God it was very hard for me to sit on the fence. I would be the auntie and pop in and out.
“Trying to be sort of, not judging, because we all make mistakes and there are good people that have made bad choices.”
During an appearance on The One Show, Amanda also opened up about her co-host, Paul Brunson, explaining his innate ability to “dig in and get the truth out.”
She said: “It was an extraordinary thing to be part of because it really digs in. Paul C Brunson is the therapist, guru and all-round god, and is just extraordinary in it.
“He sort of digs and gets peoples truth out, making them confess to each other and giving them all some sort of closure.
“There’s so many stories in there that some of the girls don’t know their partners were definitely cheating and then there’s scales of what you think cheating is.”
She added: “The end result is that you have 16 people leave there that are so different to how they went in. That’s what I find so heart-warming and brilliant about it.
“Yes you are watch it to get the gossip and the salaciousness and the juicy factor. But every single person who went in has learnt something.”
Amanda shared: “Cheating is a sensitive topic and I think it’s a topic everyone can understand. It’s about good people who have made bad choices.
“Some of those people haven’t had the answer for 10 years. So, it was amazing to be part of that process and to witness the truth coming out.”
