Resplendent in Sicilian lemons with the corresponding backdrop, Amanda Holden\u2019s recent TikTok video<\/a><\/span> was supposed to offer some humorous, deadpan sartorial advice<\/strong> while keeping the freebies \u2013 in this case from LK Bennett \u2013 flowing in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The video quickly started trending on Twitter, going viral for all the wrong reasons. People\u2019s reactions were as frothy as the Sicilian cappuccino Holden said she was searching for.<\/p>\n Many people missed the apparent joke and commented that it was all in bad taste given the cost of living crisis. Holden says she was parodying the cult content creator from Australia, Patti Pink Cake<\/a><\/span>, who, with over 23K followers on Instagram, always has a scarf and matching bag to finesse her outfits of the day while looking for her next caffeine fix.<\/p>\n Amanda\u2019s yellow confection with a clashing black Gucci bag was taken as a tone-deaf response to the current mood of the country<\/strong> and something brands would distance themselves from regardless of its humorous merits.<\/p>\n
