Amanda Holden: 'I want to look like Joan Rivers'

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has said she would like to age like Joan Rivers. The 38-year-old actress, who has had Botox, said that she did not see the point in growing old gracefully. Amanda told Heat magazine: "I agree with Simon Cowell; it's like cleaning your teeth - maintenance." She continued: "It's like getting your roots done. I think as long as you don't go stupidly over the top... I can move my face." Denying she has had further surgery, Amanda insisted: "I've never had my lips done, and it really p****s me off that everyone thinks I have. My lips are thinner now than they were when I was younger." She added: "I've had Botox, which I'm happy to admit. It's running out now, though - I need to go again." She told the magazine: "I've never had fillers either. My family all have very rounded faces, a bit chubby even. So I'm lucky that it's natural. "I think everything starts drooping around 45, so I know I'll succumb. I want to look like Joan Rivers." She added: "I don't see the point in growing old gracefully."
