London — Amanda Holden has reportedly snapped up a £3million deal to take over from Emma Bunton as a Heart radio breakfast presenter.

The sum — more than double Radio 2 rival Zoe Ball’s reported £1.2m salary — will make Holden Britain’s best-paid female showbiz host.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 48, is estimated to be worth £6million and had also bagged deals with Marks & Spencer and TV shopping network QVC, as well as carrying out presenting roles.

Amanda will team up with Jamie Theakston, 48, on the show from June 3. — Agencies
