Carmen Electra didn’t get the warmest reception at the Britain’s Got Talent auditions in London yesterday, it has been reported.
The former Baywatch actress was drafted in to replace Amanda Holden for the day, after she gave birth to her new baby daughter Hollie Rose two weeks ago and was left seriously ill following the labour.
