Amanda Holden never fails to turn heads with her fabulous wardrobe, and we're huge fans of her style. One of her recent outfits, a blue maxi number, was an extremely elegant choice.
The Heart FM radio host's dress was the Karen Millen Techno Cotton Woven Maxi, which would usually set shoppers back £139, but its price has been reduced to £83.40 on Debenhams.
Customers who snap up Amanda's outfit from debenhams.com will save a whopping 40%, but sizes for the dress are getting snapped up fast, with 16 now sold out. The Karen Millen style is still available to buy in sizes 6-14.
When Amanda wore the blue maxi for a day in the Heart FM offices, she completed the look with a pair of pointed white heels. If you ask us, the dress would look equally as stunning with some gold stilettos, like this £27.99 pair from Stradivarius. These striking shoes have criss-cross straps on the instep.

Ending at a maxi length, this chic Karen Millen dress is designed in a straight fit, but slightly cinches at the waist. Whether dressed up or down, it's ideal for any time of the year.
Amanda's sophisticated frock has a figure-skimming, straight fit, which is finished with metallic hardware at the front. If Debenhams' discounted price, £83.40, is still too steep for shoppers, this ASOS DESIGN linen maxi dress in 'faded denim' is a lovely alternative at £52. The breezy piece comes in a regular fit with a swishy skirt.
Meanwhile, the Blue Long Sleeve Starlight Mini Dress from Nobody's Child is the perfect choice for those who prefer shorter frocks. Thanks to the retailer's spring sale, this V-neck piece has had its price lowered to £63.20, down from £79. Its panelled waist flatters the frame, while the A-line skirt falls beautifully.

Amanda wore the Karen Millen maxi dress back in February, with her honey-blonde hair styled in loose waves. The mum-of-two also donned a subtle makeup look, consisting of a smoky eye, nude lip and lots of blush.
While we haven't seen any reviews for the flattering design she wore, our one qualm is that it doesn't come in petite or tall lengths - Amanda is 5'4 as a reference point for sizing.

'There are so many hidden costs to raising a disabled child'
"Our bills are always higher."For Amanda, a mother of two sons, raising a disabled child comes with hidden costs that have forced her out of the seven-year-old boy, William, has medical conditions that leave him unable to attend mainstream school and with significant care has never been able to return to her job managing an opticians because of the difficulties in finding a specialist childcare provider able to accommodate from Skipton in North Yorkshire, told the BBC that her family also faced financial pressure because of the equipment and clothing that William needs. "I'm not a natural stay-at-home mum, I enjoyed working," she be able to afford to go back to work, Amanda would have to have childcare and claim it back through Universal Credit, but the carer would need to be Ofsted-registered."Finding someone who's registered and willing to look after a child with William's needs is nearby impossible." Her plight has been highlighted by The Family Fund charity, which has warned that families with children with additional needs are at risk of falling into debt because of care has epileptic encephalopathy, a genetic condition that can cause developmental delays, a movement disorder called ataxia and learning he was first diagnosed, Amanda was told that he may not survive until adulthood."He has a high risk of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) where some children pass away in their sleep. When your child sleeps in you think 'is this going to be the day that they don't wake up'."Amanda said there was no "downtime" for parents in her situation and she faced "full-on and long days"."It's hard to explain because he is such an adorable lively boy, everyone who meets him adores him, but he never stops."She said the main challenge was William's behaviour."If you take him to a body of water, he will want to go in that. If we go to a soft play, he will pull on hair. The isolation is the hardest thing."You have no control over anything that happens, you just have to ride the waves and deal with it really." Her household budget is impacted by William's love of water and by food wastage."He has an obsession with water so we use water a lot. Wastage of food is a big one, I want to try and get him eating different things but he is restricted on what he will try."She said nappies and incontinence swimwear "cost a bomb" as does his clothing, which needs holes for his gastrostomy - a surgical opening in the stomach for a feeding tube."When we go out, we seem to pay more for specialist stuff, £50 or more for an hour so they can have fun and be by themselves or with children with additional needs."William has a place at a special school nearby, which has a nurse on site who can deal with his seizures, but holiday childcare remains a problem."I try to explain to people with neurotypical children that their kids can go to an after-school club, or a holiday club by themselves."William might get vouchers but he can't go to anything without a carer and they need training." The Family Fund provides grants for families with disabled and seriously ill children, and the charity said half of its service users cannot meet day-to-day living costs despite being in receipt of state disability has spent her grant on a garden house for William to play executive Cheryl Ward CBE said: "As caring costs increase for families, barriers to paid work as a route out of poverty remain unchanged, including a lack of suitable childcare."Until these challenges are addressed, families raising disabled and seriously ill children can't escape the cycle of living in debt, going without essentials like food, clothing and furniture and experiencing poor mental health."Amanda added: "Everything is so expensive, I wouldn't be able to feasibly buy a garden house for him." 'No choice' Amanda said that when families have a disabled child their "whole life is caring for them".She has an older son, Jake, and her partner has two children from a previous relationship."You feel guilty for saying it but you feel trapped. They will always be children. It feels like a jail sentence, which is awful to say as they are your kids."She said a year ago she would cry "every single day"."It was too much. Not having enough sleep and feeling out of control."All you get from people is 'I don't know how you do it'."Really, I have no choice. If I break down there is no one else. Unless it gets to a real crisis, there is no help there."Amanda said she had been proactive in accessing support which had made a difference."I use a carers' resource and they are my rock, they do coffee mornings, and the hospice provides counselling and support."I found communicating with other parents one of the better things, you just don't feel alone."

Broughton Astley boy, 8, sells fruit and veg on honesty stall
An eight-year-old boy is helping villagers eat more healthily by using an honesty stall to sell them fruit and vegetables he has grown in his is leaving his excess runner beans, sweetcorn and peppers outside his home in Broughton Astley, Leicestershire - and is asking neighbours to leave money for what they take"We trust everybody, and they just post the money through the post box," Jesse said."Sometimes they leave it under the table, sometimes they put it round the back, but they do pay." Jesse said he was using the money he made to buy gardening supplies, but said his ultimate aim was to be able to afford a bigger garden"I love gardening a lot," said Jesse."Just harvesting and planting things in the ground like the seeds and then just watching it grow and then getting something bigger out of it." Jesse's mother Amanda said: "The community's been amazing, we have people come not just from Broughton, we see people pulling up in their cars, they'll come over, I think because he's so small and cute. "They're very supportive of him, but people come over now, they bring us their empty plant pots."People are just loving seeing a little person doing a bit of gardening I think."Jesse, who said raspberries were his favourite thing to grow, started the honesty stall after seeing the idea on YouTube and said he hoped his efforts would encourage other people to take up the pastime."It's easy, just try," he said. "Most of the time it's simple."Additional reporting by Dan Martin

Simon Cowell was 'lost' for years after losses but one person 'saved' him
Talent show boss Simon Cowell has admitted he was 'lost' for years following the deaths of his parents as he shared the one thing that has changed his life completely Simon Cowell has emotionally opened up on the loss of his parents as he admitted his own son Eric was the one person to save him. The talent show boss, 65, is a proud dad to his 11-year-old son but has admitted it brings up pain about not having his own parents around. His father, Eric Philip Cowell, died aged 81 in 1999, followed by his mother, Julie, in July 2015, aged 90. Simon made sure to pay tribute to his beloved dad with his name choice for his son, who was born a year before his mum's death in 2014. The Britain's Got Talent creator's parents sadly missed out on huge milestones in Simon's life, including his impressive career as well as his engagement to partner Lauren Silverman. Simon has now admitted to being "lost" following the deaths of his mum and dad, up until his son was born. [Fatherhood has] had a huge impact on me because I loved my parents so much, and once they left, I was kind of lost for a while, and then Eric kind of saved me," he emotionally shared. He told People: "Because that love comes back a hundred times more powerful. I mean, it's extraordinary and it never goes. So I didn't expect that, and when it happened, it was like, 'Wow.' I mean, it's incredible." The former X Factor judge even confessed that becoming a father made his job easier. He said he now thinks of Eric when he is filming his TV shows and judges acts "through his son's eyes". In another bold confession, the music mogul revealed he has even become less career-focused now that he has Eric. "You realise that there are other things more important, actually, than your career," he said. Simon added: "If I wasn't where I am in my life today, I think it would feel quite empty." Last year, Simon heartbreakingly re-lived the torment of losing his parents as he revealed he was told his beloved father had died while he was working thousands of miles from home. The music mogul, then 40, was celebrating Westlife hitting No. 1 in the charts for the first time with Swear It Again when he discovered dad Eric had suffered a fatal heart attack. When Simon called his family to tell of his first success, his mother Julie couldn't bear to tell him the tragic news. Sensing something wasn't right, he called the family home again hours later - and it was left to younger brother Nicholas to tell him the terrible truth. Speaking to entrepreneur Steven Bartlett on his Diary of a CEO podcast, the TV star says he didn't know what he had left to live for when his mother also died in 2015. He said: "I thought my parents were going to live forever. The hardest thing about losing your parents is that you can't think of them after. It's too hard. "I would have swapped all my success to keep him around. They were my best friends, I told them everything. It's like how I feel for Eric, it's pure love."
