Amanda Holden and Ashley Roberts, popular hosts at Heart Radio, recently embraced the Halloween spirit in a grand fashion, dazzling fans and listeners with a bold Beetlejuice-inspired makeover. Their costumes, showcased at Heart Radio’s annual Halloween event, have quickly become the talk of social media, with fans applauding the hosts for their commitment to character. Joined by Jason King (known as JK) who played the role of Beetlejuice himself, Amanda and Ashley transformed into iconic characters from the classic 1988 film, Beetlejuice, each adding a unique twist to their looks.
Amanda Holden Channels Beetlejuice’s Lydia Deetz in Red Gothic Dress
Amanda Holden, the celebrated television star and longtime Heart Radio host, channeled the gothic spirit of Lydia Deetz, famously portrayed by Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice. Embracing the dark, quirky style that made Lydia an unforgettable character, Amanda donned a striking red dress as a nod to the character’s dramatic style. Amanda completed her look with a classic gothic makeup palette and added accessories, giving a modern and sultry twist to the goth aesthetic that Lydia Deetz represents in Tim Burton’s film.
Holden’s costume sparked immediate excitement on social media, where she shared behind-the-scenes photos and videos with her co-hosts. Fans flooded her Instagram with admiration for her dedication to Halloween. “This year you have really gone all out! Definitely one of the best,” one fan wrote, while another chimed in, calling her costume “epic.” Amanda’s Lydia Deetz look was part of Heart Radio’s special Halloween Breakfast event, which has become a highly anticipated annual celebration for listeners, offering a blend of spooky fun, exclusive giveaways, and festive surprises.
Ashley Roberts Transforms into Beetlejuice’s Miss Argentina
Not to be outdone, Pussycat Dolls singer and fellow Heart Radio host Ashley Roberts fully embraced her role as Miss Argentina, the deceased pageant queen from Beetlejuice. Roberts committed to the character by painting her skin a vibrant blue, mimicking the otherworldly look of Miss Argentina, whose story in the film includes her tragic demise following her loss at a beauty pageant. Complete with a bright red wig, a cape, and a bold red strapless dress, Ashley’s costume was a show-stopper, complete with a “Miss Receptionist” sash—a clever nod to her character’s role in the film as the afterlife’s receptionist.
Ashley’s elaborate costume earned admiration both from fans and her co-hosts. In true Halloween spirit, Roberts went all out, saying that she was excited to bring the character to life and to join the Heart Halloween tradition, which has become a staple event for the station’s audience.
Heart Radio’s Halloween Tradition: A Fan-Favorite Event
Heart Radio’s Halloween Breakfast event has become a fan-favorite tradition. Hosted every year on the Friday before Halloween, the event invites listeners into a fun, costume-filled broadcast complete with feel-good Halloween hits, lively banter, and a chance to win exciting prizes. Over the years, Amanda Holden and her co-hosts have delighted listeners with their playful, creative costumes, making the show’s Halloween edition a much-loved addition to the Heart Radio calendar.
Last Halloween, the team delighted audiences with Scooby-Doo-themed costumes. Amanda took on the role of Velma, sporting the character’s classic orange wig and infamous glasses, while Ashley transformed into Daphne with a purple dress and ginger wig. Jamie Theakston joined the fun as Shaggy, and Amanda’s pet dog even got in on the action, dressed as Scooby-Doo.
Supporting Co-Host Jamie Theakston Amid Cancer Battle
While Halloween celebrations were in full swing, Heart Radio’s festivities were bittersweet as co-host Jamie Theakston remains on a medical break following his recent cancer diagnosis. Jamie, who has been with Heart Radio’s Breakfast Show alongside Amanda Holden since 2005, announced in September that he had been diagnosed with stage 1 laryngeal cancer. The news came after attentive radio listeners noticed subtle changes in his voice, prompting him to seek medical advice that led to the discovery.
In recent weeks, Jamie has undergone surgery to his vocal cords as part of his treatment, and he is currently on a break from the radio show as he focuses on recovery. Amanda Holden, deeply moved by her colleague’s situation, has been a pillar of support for Jamie during this challenging time. She has assured fans that they will “hold the fort” while Jamie recuperates, dedicating their Halloween event to their friend and co-host.
“Jamie has told us that we have got to hold the fort, and he has said the show must go on,” Amanda shared on air, reflecting on Jamie’s determination and positive spirit. “We’re going to do him proud. Him, Sophie, and the boys, they’re listening at home, and I know after this announcement all of those listening are going to be sending your best wishes to our King,” she added with emotion. The team and their listeners have been sharing well-wishes for Jamie, hoping for his swift recovery and return to the show.
Amanda and Ashley Celebrate Jamie’s Legacy at Heart Radio
Heart Radio’s Halloween celebration this year was especially meaningful as Amanda and Ashley took the opportunity to celebrate the longstanding friendship and professional partnership they share with Jamie. As they donned their Beetlejuice-inspired costumes, the Halloween event was dedicated to the spirit of resilience, underscoring the importance of friendship and support in times of need.
Amanda took to social media to share her well-wishes for Jamie, resharing his post and expressing her heartfelt support. “We love you @jamie_theakston,” she wrote, along with messages of encouragement for his family.
As the Heart Radio hosts continue to bring joy and light-hearted entertainment to listeners, their Halloween transformation into Beetlejuice characters reflects both their commitment to their craft and their dedication to creating memorable, engaging moments for their audience. Fans and listeners have responded with gratitude, cheering on the Heart Radio team for their creativity and their compassion in honoring Jamie’s legacy during this season of fun and festivity.
