Amanda goes from BGT to the hex factor

AMANDA HOLDEN will be hoping she hasn’t lost her magic touch as she makes her acting comeback.

Here is a sneak peek at the Britain’s Got Talent favourite as she swaps her buzzer for a broomstick in children’s series The Worst Witch.

The mum-of-three is set to cast a spell as glamorous headmistress Miss Pentangle.

It is her first TV acting role since the Beeb’s 2009 sitcom Big Top. ‘I’m sure there will be some jokes from my family about me playing a witch,’ quipped Amanda, 46.

In a trailer released yesterday, her character makes cats materialise out of thin air. The Worst Witch begins on CBBC on March 8.
