La! Amanda Holden pays tribute to AIDS drama It’s A Sin by wearing a charity T-shirt emblazoned with its famous catchphrase
Amanda Holden paid tribute to Channel 4 drama It’s A Sin on Wednesday by wearing a T-shirt adorned with its famous one syllable exclamation.
The show has won universal accolades for shining a spotlight on the AIDS crisis and its devastating impact on the gay community during the 1980’s and early ’90s, when treatment and social understanding of the illness were limited.
And Amanda, who recently interviewed show star Olly Alexander for Heart Breakfast, referenced the six-part series by stepping out in a white top decorated with the single word ‘La.’

The phrase was used repeatedly by housemates Richie, Roscoe and Jill as a flippant greeting throughout the show, and has since been transposed onto charitable T-shirts designed by Brixton shop owner Phillip Normal.
The tops have so far raised more than £300,000 for HIV and AIDS charity Terence Higgins Trust in their quest to reduce infection rates, and Amanda, 50, was happy to raise awareness for the cause in her latest Instagram post.
Taking to the social media platform, the presenter modelled her T-shirt after reporting for her latest shift at Global Radio studios in London’s Leicester Square.

Captioning her post, she wrote: ‘#morning #la tee @philipnormal all proceeds to @thtorguk #itsasin.’
Amanda’s post comes after she hit out at the government following the announcement that frontline nurses would received a one per cent pay rise amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The TV and radio personality shared a series of old photographs of herself in scrubs as she shared a supportive message to frontline medical workers.
Amanda wrote: ‘We clapped them, we praised them, we thanked them. Now let’s bloody show them… the money! B******s to a 1% pay rise!’
Her comments come amid mounting fury over the announcement, with many suggesting the pay rise is an insult to those who have risked their lives throughout the Covid pandemic.
