Amanda Holden has appeared on some the country’s most loved TV shows down the years, but she has recently opened up about trying to find the balance between work and family time
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has lifted the lid on the latest goings-on in her life as she shared a confession about her home life.
In recent decades, Amanda has been an ever-present on our screens thanks to roles on Britain’s Got Talent and, more recently, on the radio waves co-hosting Heart Breakfast alongside Jamie Theakston.
However, away from the mics and cameras, Amanda has been raising her family of four alongside her husband, Chris Hughes.
During a recent chat with Closer magazine, she opened up on the realities of juggling a busy work life while raising her two daughters, Lexi and Hollie: “I have questioned why (I do it at all)”, she says, adding: “I’ve been knackered”!
“Obviously, I’m a mother as well and, no word of a lie, I get calls from my daughter all the time asking about netball club and whether I can sign her up for whatever club is on at school. But I would always rather be busy”.
Amid her struggle to make enough time for her family, she said she was able to take some time out from her busy work schedule this summer to enjoy time abroad with them: “I take the summer off, so I just have that chunk with Chris and the girls, and I always look forward to that”.
However, it seemed somewhat short-lived, as she admitted that filming with Alan Carr got in the way: “Although, I was smashing a house down with Alan this summer, so was technically working”!
Following her marriage with Les Dennis from 1995 until 2003, she first crossed paths with music producer Chris while in Los Angeles.
After meeting three years earlier, the pair started their family together in 2006 with the birth of Lexi, before tying the knot and having their second daughter in the six years that followed.
While Amanda opened up about her busy work life, one of her latest TV adventures has seen her team up with close friend and presenter Alan Carr for their BBC home renovation series.
Travelling across some of the most idyllic landscapes in Italy and Spain, over the course of two series, the media personalities have attempted to turn around the fortunes of dilapidated properties in a bid to bring them back to their former glory.
