SHE is used to pressing her red buzzer on Britain’s Got Talent but for her new TV show, Amanda Holden is preparing to push her fans’ buttons in another way.
The Heart FM DJ, who wore a skin-tight pink dress in my exclusive snap, is hosting Sex: A Bonkers History.
Britain’s Got Talent’s Amanda Holden has just landed a new TV show – and it’s surprising
Amanda will be fronting a new raunchy TV show all about the history of sex
Amanda, 52 will help uncover the saucy secrets of the last 2,500 years with historian Dan Jones in the Sky History series which will begin in September.
The series will use archive footage and drama reconstruction, with Amanda and Dan taking the leading roles to shed light on history’s best unknown sex stories.
Amanda and Dan will explore how attitudes towards sex and sexuality have evolved throughout the ages, from the origination of the first contraceptive in ancient Egypt to swinging in 70’s suburban Britain.
Along the way, they’ll learn how Tudor sexual cravings altered the path of British history, and they’ll dig into Georgian Britain to discover that its prim and proper façade couldn’t be more deceptive.
The pair will also reveal how the Victorian era was secretly one of the most sexually progressive in the world.
Lastly, they’ll discover that sexual attitudes in the 20th century have changed more than in any other period in history and that this
rate of change only continues to accelerate.
According to the synopsis, viewers can “expect saucy surprises” and “forget what you thought you knew”, as Amanda and Dan will throw themselves into immersive history and bring us some unique and intriguing insights in Sex: A Bonkers History.
Speaking about her involvement in the new show, Amanda said: “Believe me when I say our generation knows nothing about sex compared to the debauched antics of our ancestors.
“My goodness, I’ve really had my eyes opened, and had a real laugh, during the filming of this brilliant new series.
“I have left it to Dan Jones to get his hands dirty whilst I’ve been on the side-lines as a very entertained voyeur.”
I can’t think of a better job, to be honest.
Owen Gay, Creative Director at One Tribe TV said: “One Tribe TV is excited to be working with Amanda Holden and Dan Jones, two people who have the sensitivity, knowledge, and fun to make this series the history extravaganza it should be as we tackle the universal but often taboo subject of sex through the ages.”
Sex: A Bonkers History premieres on Sky HISTORY in September 2023.
