The listing for The Holden Girls: Mandy & Myrtle reads: “Spoof documentary following actress and broadcaster Amanda Holden and her grandmother Myrtle, played by Leigh Francis.
“A concerned Amanda persuades her lonely nan to relocate from Doncaster to live with her in her swanky London house.
“Following a chaotic settling-in period, it isn’t long before tempers fray and Amanda is forced to choose between her husband and her awkward elder relative.”
A rep for Channel 4 added: “Amanda is one of the UK’s most well-known stars and we are thrilled to get insight into her life with her nan.”

Viewers called it
Brits have been calling Leigh Francis as Amanda’s nan since the Britain’s Got Talent judge posted a teaser clip of the show to social media.
One said: “Amanda Holden’s “Nan” is 100% Keith Lemon aka Leigh Francis. Just looks like a slightly more modern version of his Bo Selecta characters.”
Another added: “Kept seeing ads for that Mandy & Myrtle thing. Amanda Holden with her ‘nan’ that looks just like Leigh Francis and sure enough it is.”
