Amanda Holden shows off her toned figure as she twins with lookalike daughter in Greece
Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden showed off her incredibly toned figure in a tiny bikini as she twinned with her 19-year-old model daughter while on holiday to Greece Radio and TV star Amanda Holden showed off her toned body as she posed up a storm while on holiday in Greece with her lookalike daughter, Lexi Hughes. The pair looked stunning as they soaked up the sun and enjoyed some family time while on a boat. The 54-year-old stunned in a white bikini paired with a bandana tied around her head and some stylish oversized sunglasses. Amanda looked relaxed as she lay by the sea with a drink in one hand. It appears that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, as daughter Lexi has also been sharing some stunning snaps with her followers online. Lexi shared a similar style photo wearing an almost identical two-piece. It comes after Princess Andre says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row. Lexi, who is signed to Storm Model Management, has already strutted her stuff at London Fashion Week and dazzled in a string of glamorous shoots. The model, whom Amanda shares with her husband Chris Hughes, has been following in her mother's famous footsteps into the showbiz world. The Britain's Got Talent star's boyfriend made her catwalk debut at London Fashion Week last September as she walked for Tran Hung's show. Lexi revealed after the show that, while she was 'so nervous', it was 'so much fun'. She said: I was so nervous but I really enjoyed the experience. The other models were really nice to me backstage, and it was so much fun. The show was so beautiful and the brand and designers are visionaries - passionate about sustainability with 90% of the raw materials they use being environmentally friendly", The DailyMail reported. Amanda couldn't have been prouder as she watched from the front row. She said: ''We couldn't have been more proud of our daughter this evening walking in her first LFW show. 'This year has been a significant one for her she has worked really hard with her A levels and she got herself into a top University. Chris and I love her to bits, and her little sister Hollie looks up to her so much. It's a wonderful moment for her.' Amanda has never been shy about sharing her pride in her daughter, both for her looks and her character. After Lexi finished her A-Levels, the proud mum posted an emotional message: 'Brilliant, funny, resilient… the world is yours. Go and live the biggest possible life.' It follows after Amanda recently gave followers a rare glimpse into her private life, with a romantic photo of her and husband Chris Hughes. The star posted the picture to Instagram on Friday, where she could be seen beaming in the arms of her long-haired husband who she has been married since 2008 after they first met in 2003. The TV star captioned the post with her husband: "To the moon and back….8:8" with a heart and a moon emoji.

Howard Stern ‘in a bring-it-on mind frame' as speculation mounts over future of his SiriusXM radio show
Howard Stern is reportedly in a 'bring-it-on mind frame' as speculation mounts over the future of his long-running SiriusXM radio show. The 71-year-old broadcaster has hosted the second incarnation of The Howard Stern Show since 2006, but his current $500m five-year contract with SiriusXM ends in 2025, and sources have told the Daily Mail the programme is 'doomed' amid falling listener numbers and criticism from some fans over Stern's self-described 'woke' views. But a source close to the shockjock told the publication about how he is in a defiant mood amid the rumours: 'He is in a bring-it-on mind frame right now. Howard likes what he likes and though he could be bitter on how things are going, it isn't anything new to him. 'He also isn't blaming things on his age; the world has changed. He has changed himself. If he didn't, he would have been gone a long time ago.' The source added: 'It is true, he doesn't like the uptick of podcasts, where everyone can be on the radio. He just thinks he is the best and there is a lot to learn from him rather than throwing him away.' Howard has been widely reportedly to be exploring opportunities with HBO and Netflix as possible future platforms. The Daily Mail's source added: 'All this unknown is music to Howard's ears. 'He thrives in this element of the unknown… now the honeymoon might be over with Sirius after almost 20 years, but he still wants to figure something out to stay, especially for his team.' The Daily Mail also reported Howard learned of claims he was preparing to quit SiriusXM via a Google alert while in Southampton. The news broke as his 95-strong staff were at a team-building event in Manhattan. Howard apparently responded by hosting an 'emergency show' the next morning, assuring listeners he would return on 2 September. He is said to have been in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM, with some insiders suggesting a short one-to-two-year deal could be agreed, while others point to tensions over the company's support of rival host Andy Cohen. Recent years have seen Howard address criticism against him directly. He said in 2023: 'By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I'm woke. 'To me the opposite of woke is being asleep. And if woke means I can't get behind Trump… or that I support people who want to be transgender or I'm for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f****** want.'
