Royal Variety Performance viewers furiously branded new hosts Amanda Holden and Alan Carr 'dreadful' after they made their debut as hosts on Sunday evening. The TV personality, 53, and comedian, 48, opened the show with a string of woke jokes, which many branded 'awkward' as they demanded the return of Bradley Walsh, 64, who presented the show in 2023.

The annual fundraising event saw a string of famous faces including Sir Elton John, Ted Lasso's Ellie Taylor, and Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas perform in front of King Charles. Alan began the Royal Albert Hall show, which was filmed back in November, by poking fun Amanda's racy gown and declared it was 'just on the right side of an Ofcom complaint'.

He continued: 'I feel a great sense of comfort and security sharing a stage with you, well it's a high profile event and if Just Stop Oil come at the stage, I can use you as my human shield.'. While Amanda quipped: 'Well, good luck to them because I will end up being their first victim who ends up less orange.'.
