Amanda Holden drops huge Strictly hint despite Britain's Got Talent rivalry

Amanda Holden has dropped a huge hint she will appear on Strictly Come Dancing despite her job as a judge on rival show Britain's Got Talent.

The full line-up for this year's Strictly has already been revealed.

However the actress and singer, 49, suggested she will make a surprise appearance in the Christmas special later this year.

The telly star says the main show would be too much to put her body through as it involves eight hours of vigorous training per day, but she loves the idea of starring in the Christmas special - which is yet to be filmed.

Amanda told Huff Post : "I would 100 per cent do the Christmas special and would 100 per cent go and sing on there but I love watching it."

She admitted it's "too much hard work" to commit to the main show, adding that Simon Cowell would not be pleased with her choice to go on the rival BBC programme.

Amanda continued: "Also, I think Simon… no. Even though we all love it and watch it, including Simon, it's our biggest rival show."

The star revealed she would happily sign up for the special and hopes to be a part of the Sunday night results show by performing in front of the audience.

Amanda is gearing up to release her album Songs From The Heart next week, so it'd be no surprise if she appeared on the show to sing songs from her new record.

The star also shared her excitement for former co-star Caroline Quentin to perform on the show.

Amanda says she's "thrilled" that her Kiss Me Kate pal is competing and wants the public to be "reminded" of what an "epic, powerful, fun woman" she is.

She admitted her friend has a "winning personality" that Strictly viewers will love.

*Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One in October.
