EXCLUSIVE Amanda Holden jokes she's the 'new Kris Jenner' as she reveals her lookalike daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, will take on London Fashion Week and talks of a family reality show
Amanda Holden has revealed her youngest daughter Hollie, 13, has landed her first runway show, walking in London Fashion Week later this year. The TV and radio presenter, 54, joked she is the new Kris Jenner as her two lookalike daughters are now following in her showbiz footsteps. Hollie will make her catwalk debut alongside model and university student sister Lexi, 19, who is already signed to Storm Models. When Amanda spoke with MailOnline at Claridge's hotel in London, she revealed that Hollie had 'no idea' that she had bagged her first modelling gig, as the presenter had 'literally only just heard' about it minutes before we sat down. She said: 'Lexi's good, she's sort of dipped her toe in and she's done a couple of photoshoots. She is loving university as well but what she doesn't like doing is taking time off, so I think she'll work it out but it's something she's enjoying. 'She's doing London Fashion Week again in September and we've actually just heard that Hollie is going to be doing it as well.' Amanda continued: 'It's definitely something I think Hollie is going to enjoy she's going to die when I tell her she's doing London Fashion Week this year. 'I literally just heard she got it and she's gone for the week with my mum in Cornwall so I'll have to ring her after.' She joked: 'With both girls doing it, I do feel like Kris Jenner now. We need our own reality show. Oh my god, yeah here we go, I could see that'. Despite the TV stars hopes of a family reality show, which could follow her daughter's nepo baby friends including Simon Cowell's son Eric and Alesha Dixon's daughter Azura, Amanda's daughter Lexi 'wouldn't want to be on camera'. She revealed: 'But one of my daughters would do [a TV show] but Lexi wouldn't want to be on camera, that's irony, whereas Hollie would, definitely.' Amanda added that teenager Hollie currently loves coming to Britain's Got Talent as she is 'put to work' as a runner and causes 'mayhem' with Simon's son Eric. She said: 'She loves coming with me to Britain's Got Talent, she makes Simon his ginger tea, she likes to be a little runner, so when she comes, they put her to work. 'She likes the crew hoodie, the snacks, she delivers snacks to the desk, goes around with Eric, creating absolute mayhem behind the scenes, god knows what they get up to anyway. 'She doesn't watch any of the show though, although she did when she decided to press the golden buzzer anyway. She didn't get a slap on the wrist because Eric was with her, so that's all good.' Elsewhere during the chat, Amanda, who is a brand ambassador for Revive Collagen, revealed she has even got her oldest teenage daughter using the products. She said: 'You know, I've got Lexi on the original collagen and she's 20 in January and she takes it because there's other benefits in it. 'She's at uni living it up and you just go, you need your B12 and everything else, so she's now getting everything because you lose 1.5% of collagen up until you're 60 odd, every year from the age of 25'. Amanda shares Hollie and 19-year-old daughter Lexi with her husband Chris Hughes who she has been married to since 2008.

Amanda Holden's husband makes cheeky comparison as she makes 'naked' confession
Amanda Holden admits she likes to walk around nude in her own home, including spending time in the garden naked, leading to a cheeky comparison from her husband Amanda Holden has shared a cheeky insight into her home life, revealing that her husband Chris Hughes likens her to a certain TV character due to her "naked" habits. The 54-year-old telly star confesses she's quite fond of wandering about her house in the buff. The Britain's Got Talent judge was left blushing when she discovered a newly installed camera at her residence had been recording her. She had arranged for an electrician to fit the camera onto a drainpipe, expecting it to be activated later on. Yet, Amanda recounts how the electrician, upon his return, mentioned he needed to review the footage to ensure the camera's angle was correct. She light-heartedly remarked that electrician Andy would need to "delete the footage". In a candid chat with The Times, Amanda divulged her penchant for being "naked all day", although she does don pyjamas when hitting the sack. She explained: "My husband says I'm like [the Sesame Street character] Elmo; I go around naked all day and wear pyjamas to go to bed." Confirming she sleeps covered up, Amanda replied: "Yes. It's weird. I like pyjamas buttoned up to the neck. I'm Wee Willie Winkie, even on summer holidays. I just feel snug." Elmo, the beloved Sesame Street character, is indeed known for wearing pyjamas to bed, but is typically seen without clothes during the day. Amanda Holden recently opened up about her penchant for nudity at home during a segment on her Heart Radio show with co-host Jamie Theakston. In one episode, they discussed an email from a listener whose child's school had reported an "incident" during their Duke of Edinburgh Award. The listener revealed the youngsters had followed a foodpath that went through a nudist beach. The listener said "everything was okay" but the teachers at the school "just wanted to let them know". Jamie, aged 54, quipped: "You know those kids have done that on purpose. I love the fact that the teachers are concerned about their mental health and the kids have had an absolute hoot." Amanda, clearly amused, retorted: "Mental health seeing a bunch of nudey wrinklers on the beach? No disrespect, you know I'm naked most of the time in my house. Naked barbecues, naked lawnmowing.." To which Jamie wittily responded: "We're not going to get 16 seconds of this are we?" resulting in laughter from Amanda. Reflecting on the incident later with her home camera, Amanda had previously labelled it as "potentially terrible". When Jamie enquired whether the moment was "career-threatening," she confirmed with a "yes". She recounted a story involving her electrician Andy, saying: "I get him round the other day because I needed something else putting up, and he goes, 'I'll have a look at what we're doing to make sure the angle is alright on that camera', he said, 'It's been going for the last couple of days'. "I went, 'I beg your pardon? !' He said, 'Oh yeah, I've downloaded the app', he said, 'I just need to make sure the angle is right'." Britain's Got Talent panellist Amanda then turned to co-presenter Jamie and remarked: "Can you imagine what I've got up to in my garden in a couple of days?". Whilst Jamie pondered what Amanda might have been doing in her outdoor space, she revealed she had cut the grass in the nude and exposed her chest to spouse Chris Hughes. She continued: "I'm always naked in my back garden. "I've definitely been naked, and for a joke the other day, I was sorting something out in the garden and my husband waved at me from the bedroom window, and I flashed my boobs at him, because I thought this is funny and I went 'wahoo' [flashing] like that." Amanda disclosed she had forgotten about the camera as it camouflaged with her drainpipe. "I had no idea it was up, and now Andy is going to be reviewing this footage and I need it all deleted," she confessed. Amanda then clarified that the electrician could access the camera remotely via his smartphone, with all footage being automatically stored in a digital archive. "It exists! Naked lawnmowing and me flashing my boobs to my husband," she continued. Jamie cheekily suggested her antics would create brilliant television content, which she enthusiastically welcomed. "I'd go [to] Netflix, Netflix can have it," she joked. In a frantic bid to reach her electrician, she issued an urgent plea on air: "If Andy is listening, get round [to] my house! Delete [the footage from] Monday and Tuesday." She added with urgency, "And I'm not joking Andy, I need that camera turned off because I've got all the school mums coming round, and that is terrible."

Women are NOT bitchy to each other at work, says Amanda Holden... It's just men setting us up
She famously got into a public spat with Sharon Osbourne and took a bitchy side-swipe at Holly Willoughby. But Amanda Holden insists that women don't fight among themselves – and office catfights are a myth promoted by men. The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, said in an interview: 'The notion that women are bitchy to each other in the workplace is just men setting us up against each other... It's never the women.' She then added: 'I can't think of another woman who's upset me.' However, her comments in The Times are likely to come as news to Ms Osbourne and Ms Willoughby, with whom Ms Holden has rowed with very publicly in recent years. Ms Holden and Ms Osbourne began their war of words last year after The X Factor judge, 72, and Louis Walsh – appearing on Celebrity Big Brother – criticised Simon Cowell for his dress sense and claimed he 'didn't know how to keep friends'. Ms Holden immediately came out in support of Cowell, saying: 'I hated seeing certain people in a reality show dissing Simon. 'He's the person who's given them all the chances, given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn't have had. It's bitter and pathetic. 'It was like Cinderella with her two sisters in the background? Just stabby, stabby, stabby.' Ms Osbourne then hit back on social media: 'Unlike you, the brand of Sharon Osbourne is known worldwide. 'There are many countries that I could work in if I choose to. However, I don't have the ambition or time to do so and, unlike you, I don't work in radio or pantomime.' Afterwards Ms Holden described it as a 'storm in a teacup'. The presenter, who is one of television's highest-paid women, earning around £5 million a year, has also mocked former This Morning host Holly Willoughby. When Ms Willoughby, 44, returned to the show after Phillip Schofield's much-publicised departure, Ms Holden took a swipe at her first comments to camera. And in May, Amanda (pictured earlier this year) appeared to take another sly dig at the presenter live on air while she was presenting her Heart FM radio show 'Right, deep breath,' Ms Willoughby said, dressed in white, before asking the viewers at home: 'Firstly, are you OK? I hope so.' The next day, also dressed in white, Ms Holden appeared in an online video, saying: 'Hello, it is Tuesday, are you OK?' And in May she appeared to take another sly dig at the presenter live on air while she was presenting her Heart FM radio show. Responding to co-host Jamie Theakston's queries about whether her Netflix dating series Cheat: Unfinished Business was being renewed for a second run, Ms Holden said she didn't know. He then teased, 'What are they suggesting – are they getting Holly Willoughby?' to which Holden replied: 'No, they want a proper presenter.' A spokesman for Holden declined to comment. Not sure Holly and Sharon would agree! ...and try telling that to the office Queen Bee By Roger Dobson There's usually one found in every office: a tough-talking female boss with so-called 'Queen Bee syndrome'. But their lofty authority and disdain for their female co-workers does them no favours – particularly among other women. A study has found women at a lower level – the 'worker bees' – find female bosses arrogant, conceited and manipulative. While the authors of the study acknowledge this may be an unfair prejudice, they suggest the problem lies with women who are seen to be mimicking powerful men and taking on more masculine roles. Dubbing their research 'A Battle in the Hive', they say having this power – particularly in a male-dominated office – might lead them to criticise female subordinates more harshly to distance themselves from other women. But this only creates a negative buzz and sometimes outright hostility. 'We discovered many female subordinates believe their female managers are tough and manipulative, making it difficult to work with them,' the researchers from Istanbul Medipol University wrote in the journal Frontiers in Sociology. 'In workplaces where men predominate, female subordinates may perceive female managers as unsettlingly arrogant and conceited. 'Preference for male leaders, perceived difficulties with female managers (such as emotional reactivity) and the effect of social expectations were primary themes from our research.'

Tess Daly, 56, says she still fits the same denims she wore in her 20s despite not dieting - so, which slim celebs are with her in the good jeans club?
They say age is just a number, but for a few select celebrities, it feels like that number hasn't changed in years. And stars including Tess Daly and Gaby Roslin have revealed they still fit into the same size jeans they wore in their 20s. This week, Tess explained: 'I'm wearing the same size jeans I was wearing in my 20s, but that's not from dieting - it's from maintaining. 'I've never dieted, and as a mother of daughters, I've always been very careful not to demonise sugar and not count calories, and I refuse to embrace any negative connotation around food because I think moderation is key.' Meanwhile, supermodel Kate Moss, TV personality Amanda Holden, and Holly Willoughby have all been spotted recently rocking similar denim compared to when they were younger. They have all been open about their fitness routines and how they have kept their figure and youthful looks throughout the years. Tess Daly Tess recently revealed she still fits into the same size jeans she wore in her 20s - but insisted she's never been one to diet. The TV presenter, 56, said she exercises daily to maintain her core strength and said she believes she's cracked the formula to both feeling and looking great. She said: 'I will do planks in my living room every day because core strength is really important to me at my age now, plus I'm also very tall and do a lot of running around in heels, so I need to support my back.' She added that although she's now in her 50s, she feels as energetic as she did in her 20s. The former model has previously given fans an insight into the varied ways she achieves her impeccable figure, from running on the treadmill while she watches her favourite Netflix shows and morning skipping circuits to trampolining in her back garden. Tess has also credited daily yoga for both keeping her physically fit and maintaining her mental wellbeing, and shared her love for swimming. the former model has previously given fans an insight into the varied ways she achieves her impeccable figure, from running on the treadmill while she watches her favourite Netflix shows and morning skipping circuits to trampolining in her back garden. Tess has also credited daily yoga for both keeping her physically fit and maintaining her mental wellbeing, and shared her love for swimming. Amanda Holden Known for her incredible figure and style, Amanda has always been pictured wearing skinny jeans. And despite the Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, having a slim figure since she was young, Amanda previously revealed she's 'not a slave' to her fitness regime. She admitted she 'loves food too much' and ensures she sticks to her routine for her 'own discipline and dignity.' Speaking to The Times about how a 'school-gate mum' achieves and maintains her good looks, the TV personality shared the details. Amanda discussed her extensive fitness regime, revealing that she runs three to four miles a week in addition to Kundalini yoga practice and a 'Viking workout regime.' Despite her somewhat intense sounding exercise plan, she reiterates that she doesn't do it because she 'feels like she has too,' and explained the importance of balance. 'I am not a slave to any beauty or fitness regime because I love food too much. I eat cheese and butter and I love a drink. 'But the deal I struck with myself was I have to run for my rosé wine in the summer and run for my red wine in winter. And I don't do it because I feel I have to; I do it for my own discipline and dignity,' she told the publication. Amanda joked that it's 'all down hill from your 20s' but added that, like Cher, you can 'turn back time' with proper nutrition and exercise. 'I'm from a generation of women who won't [fade into the background] - we'll flaunt our bits for as long as we can. I am certainly going to - even when they're drooping down to the floor, I'll scoop them up again,' she laughed. Myleene Klass She soared to fame in the Noughties as a fresh-faced member of hit band Hear'Say and was known for showing off her figure in low-rise skinny jeans. And two decades on, Myleene Klass has reinvented herself as a fashion-forward guru, modelling an array of edgy and figure-flashing looks. Previously opening up about how she picks her outfits, the Pure and Simple hitmaker, 47, shared: 'Wear what you feel good in. 'Do not feel the pressure of what somebody may tell you you look great in, if it doesn't necessary suit you or you don't feel comfortable in it. 'Make sure that you've got that confidence in your outfit, because it just emanates from you. And put on that smile – you'll feel good, you'll look good.' Kate Moss Back in the early noughties, skinny jeans and black ballet pumps were one of Kate Moss's signature looks, and 20 years on, she still loves the look. She earned something of a party girl reputation in her youth, and was often seen hitting the club scene of London. But Kate, 51, has attempted to put her wild ways behind her - having overhauled her lifestyle to stay fit and healthy as she gets older. Speaking to the Guardian, the Croydon-born model revealed in 2018 she lost an inch off her waist in just 10 days, after taking on a clean diet and finally joining a gym. The supermodel revealed to the paper that she never used to be conscious of what she ate in her youth, but is amazed by how her detox has affected both her health and skin. Holly Willoughby pictured left in 2006 aged 25 She confessed: 'I've really noticed an improvement since I've been more 'on it' with food – like eating salads and all that stuff - I never used to really eat salads. And now I'm like, juicing!' Having always despised exercise, the beauty also finally decided to join a gym, and admitted she's 'got quite into it', against all odds. 'I've never been a gym bunny or anything like that,' she said. 'I was always, like, 'UGH', it made me feel ill, but now I've started working out, I'm really quite into it.' Revealing she even lost weight around her middle in less than two weeks, she added: 'I worked out for an hour every consecutive day for a couple of weeks and it was enough that I really started to see the benefits, which I'd never really done before.' Gaby Roslin 'Shopping in your wardrobe': Showing off her long, lean legs in the stylish number, Gaby revealed in the caption that the old pair of bottoms brought back 'vivid memories' Gaby Roslin, 61, revealed that she still owns and wears the same pair of jeans that she purchased over fifteen years ago. The revelation drove her Instagram fans wild as they praised her 'amazing figure' and ability to fit into the old pair of grey exposed zipper jeans. Gaby showed off her long, lean legs in the stylish number, which she teamed with a matching grey top. The star captioned the snap: 'Yes! Ultimate happy find #shoppinginyourwardrobe and once again the @jbrandjeans houlihans have an outing. Nothing quite as 'just right' as the originals. 'I think I bought these over 15 years ago and I remember being obsessed... We were weren't we @janebrutonuk It's funny how some items in your wardrobe bring back such very vivid memories. 'That's of course one of the joys of #shoppinginyourwardrobe The other reasons are it's good for your purse and the planet! Happy day everyone,' she concluded.
