You might have thought Amanda Holden has enough drama in her working day.
But the actress stumbled across a real life grizzly scene yesterday.
The Wild At Heart star was jogging in South London with her personal trainer when she made a dark discovery.
She found the body of a man beside a canal near Richmond, with a cord around his neck.
While her trainer stayed with the body, Amanda ran off to get help from a canal worker who called 999.
A source told The Sun: "Adrenaline kicked in and Amanda just did what she had to do, calmly.
"She was surprised by how well she dealt with it and didn't panic at all.
"But reality hit home and she realised what an awful thing she witnessed.
"It was a cold morning and the man had been dead some time."
It later emerged that the man had hanged himself from a tree before falling.
Amanda said: "My overriding feeling is of sadness for him and his family. I just feel so sorry this happened."
