AMANDA:
Insiders tell Closer that Amanda Holden is hoping to follow in the footsteps of the world’s most notorious ‘momager’ and elevate her daughters’ careers
Her teenage daughter is already making waves in the showbiz world, having made her debut at London Fashion Week in September – with her mum cheering her on from the front row. Amanda Holden looked every inch the model mum as she supported her teenager’s first big catwalk show, and now pals say the presenter is hell-bent on becoming the next Kris Jenner-style “momager” to her two girls.
When quizzed about following in the Kardashian matriarch’s footsteps earlier this year with her own reality show – alongside her daughters and record producer husband, Chris Hughes – Amanda, 52, said, “I would do it. Chris wouldn’t. It’s a shame. I always think it would be quite fun!”
US MOVE
And now, an insider adds, “Amanda’s always been a huge fan of Kris. She’s in awe of what she’s achieved and how she’s not only turned her family into a multi-million-dollar brand, but how she’s single-handedly helped turn each of her six children into superstars in their own right, as well as herself.
“Lexi’s modelling career is taking off and Hollie finishes school soon, and Amanda believes it’s only a matter of time before she starts pursuing a career in presenting. The dream would be to turn both her girls into superstars. She sees Lexi becoming the next big international supermodel like Kendall Jenner and thinks Hollie could be a successful actress and be the next British star to conquer Hollywood.”
In April, insiders told Closer how Amanda was considering quitting the UK for a new life in America after spending the Easter break visiting the America’s Got Talent studio with her fellow BGT judge, Simon Cowell, 64.
Friends close to the star – who sold her £5 million London home in August –revealed how she spent the time in LA meeting with producers and was tempted into making the leap after some quiet encouragement from Simon, who spends half the year at his Malibu home with his fiancée, Lauren Silverman, 46, and their nine-year-old son, Eric.
It came just months after Lexi signed a modelling contract with Storm Management – the international agency that turned Kate Moss into one of the world’s biggest supermodels.
Insiders tipped that the teen could be set to make £1 million in her first year alone, thanks to her famous mum’s profile.
Meanwhile, Amanda recently confessed her younger daughter also has the qualities of a superstar. “I feel like Hollie will do what I do,” she revealed.
DREAMING BIG
“She lights up a room, she’s Miss personality, she’s just gorgeous,” she added.
