Amanda Holden's Fantasy Lives ITV1, 9pm

AMANDA Holden is in America's heartland on a mission to live a dream life as a country singer – sitting in a rocking chair twanging a guitar and rattling on about divorce.

Amanda, below, arrives in Nashville, epicentre of this billion dollar business, and reportedly home to more musicians per square inch than anywhere else in the world, even Grimsby.

She is invited to perform at the Bluebird Café, one of Nashville's most prestigious venues – although I expect you'd be lucky to get a toasted teacake – but doesn't feel she's ready.

So, to prepare, she turns to none other than Kenny Rogers. "If you really, truly want to do this," he says, "find a song that says something you would like to say." But is there a country song called Everybody Look At Me?

Eventually, Amanda turns to a ditty entitled Ladders And Windows, about a man pining after his favourite chamois leather.

"I love this," says Amanda, "I could cry immediately." What she'd be like if she ever heard George Formby's When I'm Cleaning Windows is anyone's guess.

The Bluebird Cafe gig is a warm-up for Amanda's main event at the Broken Spoke, a former bike shop in Texas.

"It feels like I'm in a dream," says Amanda, as the morning of the concert arrives, "and I've been asked to sing a song and don't know the words and everyone's going to be there."

For those who face having to listen to Holden, her forgetting the words is pretty much the dream scenario.
