Amanda Holden has given her Heart Breakfast listeners a glimpse into her family life, revealing a recent argument with her youngest daughter.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge shares two daughters, Alexa (Lexi) and Hollie, with her husband, record producer Chris Hughes.
During a discussion about “most frustrating parent habits”, Amanda shared an incident from the previous night involving her nearly 13 year old daughter, Hollie.
Despite having a “super chilled” relationship with her eldest, Lexi, she described her dynamic with Hollie as being “up the other end of the scale”.
Amanda said: “Lots of shouting. She slammed the door on me last night because I very gently asked her to leave her phone downstairs. ‘Why are you punishing me? ‘ I was like, ‘It’s not punishment; I just want you to be able to get on with what you need to do upstairs without your phone’.”
She continued: “She went mental; she slammed the first door and then she went all the way up the stairs and slammed the second door. You know, like she really banged it for me to hear it.”
However, Amanda added that Hollie later apologised, saying: “But then she comes down like a psycho (and) says, ‘Mummy, I’m sorry; I love you’.”, reports Lancs Live.
Amanda revealed that despite her daughter getting “great reports” at school, she joked that her own report for her “would not be good”.
This comes as Amanda and Alan Carr faced challenges while renovating a property in Spain for their series, ‘Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job’.
The pair struggled with the language barrier, leading to humorous situations in local shops. Amanda shared with Best magazine: “The funniest thing was when we went to a Spanish DIY shop and tried to ask for things like a chisel or a hammer.”
Alan chimed in about their attempts at communication, noting that some of their hand gestures became “quite X-rated”.
Having already tackled projects in Italy and Spain, the presenters are contemplating their next destination, with Amanda expressing a desire to go to Greece, though she’s open to somewhere “closer to home”.
