Amanda Holden shares surprising final funeral wish and says 'it's in my will'

Amanda Holden has disclosed a quirky musical request to be enacted from her will when she passes away. Speaking on Heart Breakfast with stand-in co-host Jason King, also known as JK, who is replacing Jamie Theakston, Amanda made the eccentric revelation on Wednesday, September 4.

During the show, an enthusiastic Amanda and JK both confessed to being mesmerised by star guests. The pair shared their thrill over a surprise visit from a celebrity singer who popped in for not just a chat but also for a "cuddle". Expressing her excitement, Amanda gushed: "Well, I am one of the biggest fan... I mean all of us are a fan.

"There is no doubt. I don't know anyone that does not like Abba, and Bjorn (Ulvaeus) was here. I mean, I could barely speak; he just casually walked in."

Following his unexpected appearance, Amanda detailed how Bjorn "dropped in" for some conversation, a picture and a warm "cuddle," humorously suggesting they should all "put the band back together". After leaving, Amanda referred to Bjorn as a "charming, gorgeous man", reports the Mirror.

JK said: "The bit of the video that you may see later, please don't put the cheesy line where I say, 'Can we thank you for the music? ', because - and I genuinely meant that."

To which Amanda jokingly responded: "Just put the bit in where I said I've got Dancing Queen in my will where I'm lowered into the ground because that's the truth. That is in my will."

In 2023, the adored broadcaster again showcased her adoration for ABBA, sharing photos from outside the venue where she was seen savouring an ABBA concert.

ABBA made a sensational comeback with their ninth studio album, 'ABBA Voyage', released in 2021 after a 40-year hiatus since their previous record. The album was an instant hit, selling over a million copies in the first week.

The iconic Swedish quartet Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, and Anni-Frid also took to the stage as holograms, thrilling fans with their timeless classics, including superfan Amanda who gushed on Instagram: "Well. You don't need me to say this is BLOODY BRILLIANT BUT IT IS BLOODY BRILLIANT @abbavoyage I wept with joy."

Meanwhile, the ABBA-inspired universe could be expanding with whispers of 'Mamma Mia! 3' potentially getting the green light. The beloved musical films, which weave together ABBA's hits, feature a star-studded cast including Meryl Streep, Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, Colin Firth, Amanda Seyfried, and Lily James.
