Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda was opening up about her own creepy encounter as she said: "I've had a massive ghost experience.

"When I was in Shrek: The Musical on Drury Lane, obviously as Princess Fiona…"Ben then butted in: "Not as an ogre?"

Amanda immediately hit back as she said: "Shut up!"

She continued: "To turn in an ogre, I had to leg it off stage, and put my mask on and be sprayed green."

Again, Ben interrupted her adding: "Sorry – put the mask on?";

Amanda then slapped her co-host and told him to "shut it".

She continued to explain how the one of the infamous 'ghosts of Drury Lane' got in her way when she was busy doing her ogre transformation scene.

Thinking the 'ghost' was just a member of the crew, Amanda moved out of the way and continued with her work.

But was then told afterwards that no one else had been there with her.

As she finally came to the end of the her tale she apologised to producers for "going over" by telling her stories.

She joked: "I've bored the bottoms off you."
