Amanda Holden got the shock of her life this morning as her Heart Breakfast co-host Jamie Theakston FaceTimed her first boyfriend live on air.
And, after setting eyes on her childhood sweetheart, the Britain’s Got Talent judge swooned: “He is handsome!”
After reminiscing with Jamie about “lovely” Clifford Culver, who she shared a dance with when she was nine years old, a listener got in touch to say they had dated Clifford a couple of years ago.
“I’ve got a mobile number,” teased Jamie. “We are now going to try it.”
As the phone rang, Amanda admitted: “Oh my god. My tummy is turning over!”

Playful Jamie teased: “Can you imagine how romantic this is going to be, you two meeting again.”
After a few rings the call was answered by a smiling bearded man, who was indeed Clifford.
