Was Amanda Holden in Neighbours and who did she play?

Amanda Holden used her acting skills to star in a guest appearance in Neighbours.

However, some fans were left confused by Amanda’s accent.

One person tweeted: “Is that Amanda Holden in Neighbours with a strange accent #Neighbours.”

While another said: “Why is it both Denise van Outen and Amanda Holden sound(ed) like they’re doing fake British accents on #neighbours despite both being British?”

The first of the scenes aired on Monday, 28 March, 2022.
