Amanda Holden has hit back at Andrew Tate with a savage one-liner, after the controversial media personality and self proclaimed 'misogynist' criticized a photo of her wearing a black string bikini last month.
The Britain's Got Talent judge has never been shy about showing her off her body, regularly taking to Instagram to share snaps of her bathing suits and figure-hugging outfits. Her updates receive mostly positive responses, many of which come from her wide net of celebrity chums.
Unfortunately, Amanda has also had to endure trolling comments from a handful of problematic individuals - including the infamous Andrew Tate.
"You are a wife and a mother and you’re far past a teenager," the 36-year-old tweeted in response to her post, before adding that there is "no need" for her to share a picture of her in her bikini.
Amanda refused to take the comment lying down, however, and has responded to Andrew's absurd criticism with a sharp comeback.
Amanda Holden among stars fronting Comic Relief as Red Nose has 'makeover'"Honestly, I had another shot of me in a bikini with just a close-up of my bum and I was tempted to post it with the caption: 'Kiss my 52-year-old a**e,'" she told the The Telegraph. She resisted the urge to upload it, however, after realizing it would only give the former professional boxer more exposure.
"But you just know something like that’s going to go on and on – and in the end, why give him the oxygen?" she said.
Andrew Tate was arrested in Romania in December 2022, alongside his brother Tristan and two women, on suspicion of human trafficking and creating an organized crime group to sexually exploit women. After three months in jail, the four were moved to house arrest in Bucharest while the investigation into their alleged crimes continued. In June, they were charged with a number of serious offences, including rape.
Tate and his brother have denied all charges. As of August 4, the four are permitted to leave their house but not the surrounding county.
Andrew first rose to public prominence in 2016 on the 17th series of of Big Brother. He was removed from the Channel 5 show after just six days, however, after a video of him beating a woman leaked online. Andrew has also been banned from a number of social media platforms for making misogynistic and racist statements over the past few years.
