Amanda Holden has poked fun at her I Can See Your Voice co-star Jimmy Carr’s ‘new hair and teeth’.
Discussing their new show – in which players compete for a cash prize by guessing whether mystery singers can or can’t sing without hearing them perform a single note – Amanda, 50, revealed she and Jimmy, 48, have ‘a little bit of rivalry going on’.
She then joked: ‘Despite his new hair and teeth, Jimmy will never be able to compete with the glamour and laughter that [Alison Hammond] and I bring to the show.’

Of their rivalry, Jimmy said: ‘Both Amanda and I are quite divaish and glamorous, so we compete,’ according to The Sun.
Amanda also quipped that herself and Jimmy were determined to be centre of attention on the show.
She was also quick to gush about her other co-star Alison Hammond, saying: ‘I adore Alison and it’s well overdue that she’s been given the chance to shine so brightly on prime-time television.’
Amanda’s cheeky comment comes weeks after fans were left shocked by Jimmy’s appearance on the new programme.

Taking to the stage for the show’s inaugural episode earlier in April, Jimmy showed off his sparkling new teeth, fuller locks and more defined facial features, leaving fans wondering: ‘Why does Jimmy Carr look so strange and different, what’s he done?’
As the show progressed, more viewers took to Twitter to express their confusion over Jimmy’s new look.
Another wrote: ‘Jimmy Carr’s face is so distracting,’ while a third quipped: ‘Surely the biggest thing to guess on #caniseeyourvoice is who’s had more work done? Amanda or Jimmy Carr.’
Jimmy has spoken candidly about the full extent of his makeover in the past.
Talking on Gabby Logan’s Midpoint podcast, Jimmy said he decided to make some tweaks to his appearance after feeling disappointed that he doesn’t look as good in real life as he does on television.
He said: ‘I got my teeth done, that’s the first thing I had done, they’re more than veneers. I got every tooth in my head done in one sitting.

‘I did 12 hours in the chair the first day, then 12 hours the second, it was like a three day thing where you’ve got temporary things on, it’s pretty full on.
‘I think they gave me Rohypnol intravenously into the vein and you’re kind of out of it and they do everything and you’re fine. It’s a dream-like haze, you’re in a weird space.’
Jimmy said he wants to maintain his looks rather than change them too much.
He said: ‘I think that thing of age is that people don’t really see what’s there, people are good at pattern recognition, that’s all they do, teeth and hair.
New look: In June Jimmy surprised viewers by unveiling the results of his hair transplant (left) after his hair began to ‘socially distance from his forehead’ (right before the transplant in 2018)
‘Maintaining is the thing, I don’t think there’s anything you can do plastic surgery wise, or augmentation wise, that makes you look better, you can just sort it stay the same, that’s what you can hope for.’
The TV personality said as well as these physical changes, he’s also been exercising lots and taking lots of protein pills and vitamins.
In October, the comedian addressed the topic again during an appearance on the Just For Laughs podcast.
Jimmy said: ‘I’ve had a lot of work done. I got my teeth knocked out and put back in.
‘And then I had a hair transplant in the lockdown, which I didn’t particularly need, but what else are you going to do in lockdown?’
Discussing his decision to undergo Botox, he said: ‘I was seeing a guy, getting a bit of Botox, and I was chatting to him and he said, ”Oh I do Simon Cowell”, and I went, ”Yeah I think I better leave”. ”What have you done… he looks like a melted candle”.’
