Ever wondered what happens when celebrity expectations meet budget airline reality? Amanda Holden’s quest for rosé on Ryanair had her co-star Alan Carr in stitches! Their hilarious travel anecdotes from ‘Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job’ reveal a side to the stars you won’t want to miss. What do you think she truly expected?
In a delightful revelation that has captured the attention of entertainment enthusiasts, acclaimed television personality Amanda Holden found herself at the center of a playful jest from her BBC co-star, Alan Carr, concerning her rather particular requests aboard budget airline Ryanair.
The amusing anecdote revolves around Holden’s apparent dismay over the absence of a seemingly coveted item during their flights: ice for her cherished rosé. This seemingly minor detail became a source of much amusement for Carr, who couldn’t resist playfully mocking his close friend’s expectations.
The duo’s frequent airborne escapades with Ryanair have been a regular occurrence as they travel to various picturesque locations for their popular BBC television series, “Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job,” and its subsequent iterations. It’s clear that the TV star appreciates a sophisticated beverage, even when soaring through the skies.
Alan Carr vividly recounted one such instance during a past television appearance, humorously describing Amanda’s persistent inquiries for ice. He jested that she held expectations more akin to a high-end establishment than a budget carrier, playfully suggesting she believed it to be “The Ivy with wings.”
While Holden maintained her preference for rosé, Carr humorously disclosed his own choice, an Aperol Spritz, and shared his reasons for no longer frequenting the Greek island of Mykonos due to what he described as exorbitant drink prices—a stark contrast to earlier, more affordable times.
This isn’t the first time Holden’s spirited approach to beverages has garnered public attention. Earlier in the year, she lightheartedly remarked that her husband, Chris Hughes, “judges” her drinking habits, a quip made during a discussion about her strong bond and playful rivalry with Alan Carr.
The successful “Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job,” which premiered in 2023, captivated audiences with its blend of renovation challenges and celebrity camaraderie. Its popularity swiftly led to a second series, “Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job,” further solidifying their on-screen dynamic.
Currently, the beloved pair is immersed in creating their third installment, “Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job,” filmed against the stunning backdrop of Corfu. Despite a recent setback with the cancellation of another program, Holden expressed immense excitement for this new venture, a testament to the enduring appeal of their collaborative efforts and the strong support from their extensive viewership.
