Hannah Waddingham pokes fun at Amanda Holden in Eurovision put down

Benidorm actress Hannah Waddington apparently couldn't resist a cheeky dig at Amanda Holden as she explained the voting rules in the first of the Eurovision's two semi-finals last night.

The 48-year-old actress joined Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina on stage last night for the show, and detailed the rules in French, prompting viewers to look back to last year's contest, which saw Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda present the votes for the UK via video link to Italy.

Hannah said: "You see Europe, some of us Brits do bother to learn another language," which sparked discussions on social media about whether Hannah was having a dig at Amanda and poking fun at the awkward 2022 moment, when she said: "Bon soir. Goedenavond. That is 'good evening' in French and Dutch although I've got absolutely no idea which is which."
