Amanda Holden has dished the dirt on a cheeky mishap that left her with “one boob bigger than the other” after a wasp stung her on the chest during an alfresco shower.
The Heart FM radio star, 53, was chatting with co-hosts Jamie Theakston and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 42, on this morning’s Heart Breakfast when they got onto the topic of insect stings, thanks to Matthew McConaughey’s recent bee sting snap on Instagram.
McConaughey, 54, had his followers buzzing with a selfie unveiling his swollen eye, captioning it “bee swell”. This led Ashley to quiz Amanda and Jamie about their own sting stories.
Amanda spilled the beans: “I got stung by a wasp on my boob, and I did have one boob bigger than the other for some time. It was right there. It was in a … I was in an outdoor shower, and it got me.”

She then shared her secret tip for keeping the pesky insects at bay: “So the trick is… they have them; they’re horrible. But I erm… I burn coffee. They hate the smell of coffee, wasps do. So I make a little tin foil ashtray, and I put fresh ground coffee in, and I set fire to it.”, reports the Express.
“And then the smoke puts the wasps off so you can have breakfast outside and you don’t have to worry about it. And actually, burning coffee smells quite pleasant… but there’s your tip for the summer – if we ever get one!”.
Ashley chimed in with her own painful tale, revealing a horsefly once gave her a sting that caused her arm to balloon up like “Hercules”, which she branded “outrageous”.
Jamie also shed light on a painful incident where he got stung by a wasp, causing such severe swelling under his wedding ring that he had to cut the band off his finger.

Amanda and Ashley are no strangers to making headlines together thanks to their escapades on Heart FM.
This past April, Amanda found herself on the receiving end of a snap from Ashley after she took part in a nude drawing session with London Drawing.
The popular Britain’s Got Talent judge shocked her listeners by posing in the buff live on the Heart FM Breakfast show, earning praise for championing body positivity.
On the other hand, Ashley observed that the judge appeared quite “comfortable” in her birthday suit, to which Jamie chimed in: “Erm, we’ve all been drawing Amanda.”
