Amanda Holden puts on a leggy display in a leather mini dress and sexy boots for new snaps – after revealing the perils of raising teenage girls

Amanda Holden showed off her legs in a short leather dress and stylish boots in some new photos she shared on Sunday.

The 54-year-old TV star displayed her fit figure in a short dress, which she paired with a silk shirt and tie.

She filmed a Lexus advertisement in the car, making sure to show off her best side from every angle.

The woman finished her outfit with a large coat and some gold jewelry.

She wore her honey tresses in a poker-straight style and opted for a bronzed makeup look as usual. 

This follows Amanda’s discussion of the challenges of raising teenage daughters, and she recently shared that her youngest daughter is currently not speaking to her.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden told the Daily Mail that while it was hard saying goodbye to her oldest daughter, Lexi, when she went to university last year, she’s finding it more challenging to deal with life at home with her youngest, 14-year-old Hollie.

Amanda admits to comparing her own experience to that of friends like Myleene Klass, who was visibly emotional when her daughter left for school. However, she’s focusing on enjoying the peace and quiet now that her daughter, Lexi, is busy studying.

The TV personality, married to music producer Chris Hughes, expects their daughter Lexi to return home after college, and anticipates she’ll likely accumulate some student loan debt.

I have to say, I really feel for Lexi when people call her a ‘nepo baby’. It’s just not fair! She’s signed with Storm, yes, but she’s working incredibly hard – juggling two jobs *while* she’s studying. It’s clear she’s determined and doesn’t rely on anyone else’s success.

Amanda shared that she’s going through a difficult time with her children – one is away at university, and her 14-year-old is currently distant and unwilling to communicate.

I wasn’t overly upset by it, especially seeing Myleene get emotional – I really understood how she felt, as so many mothers experience that. But last year, when my daughter Lexi went off to university, *I* was the one who cried.

Chris and I drove her in a van, helped her unpack, and then drove back. We had a really lovely weekend together. Saying goodbye was hard, and we both cried, but that was the end of it.

Many young people return home after graduating college. They often face uncertainty about their future, combined with student loan debt, and view living at home as a temporary situation while they get on their feet.

Amanda feels it’s unfair to label her daughter a ‘nepo baby’ – someone who benefits from family connections – because she works hard at two jobs, one of which is modelling with Storm, the same agency that launched Kate Moss’s career.

Oh my gosh, you guys, Lexi just *killed* it in this new Storm shoot! She was wearing this blazer, seriously, it fit her like a glove and showed off her amazing figure. And can we talk about how much she looks like her mom? It’s uncanny! I’m obsessed, honestly. She’s just breathtaking!

She believes being labeled ‘nepo baby’ doesn’t hold much weight. She explained that if you have a famous relative, people immediately use that term.

At London Fashion Week, I noticed Iris Law and Romeo Beckham, and I think both of them have real potential and will be successful. Iris Law is particularly striking.

It’s irrelevant who her parents are; they may have helped her get a start, which is something I often hear about in fields like finance and banking. It seems like people sometimes get opportunities because of their family connections, not their qualifications.

‘To survive, though, you have to be able to back it up or they will just fall by the wayside.’ 

Amanda remembers growing up in a working-class family, raised by her mom and grandmother. She says her first job wasn’t anything special.

The Heart breakfast show host says her main drive has been designing her £7 million family home, which takes inspiration from the Beverly Hills Hotel.

My parents helped me get a job at a fruit shop through a connection they had with the owner, and that’s how I first started working with fruits and vegetables!

Things are incredibly busy for me right now, and it can feel like a lot to handle. Luckily, I have amazing support from Chris and my family. My parents are helping out, and my sister is here visiting and lending a hand too. We’re all pitching in to get everything done.

I wake up at 5am daily to prepare for and travel to the radio show – it takes that much time to get everything done.

I’m working towards owning a house, which is why I wake up so early. I need to prioritize enjoying it and take a break from work.

I’m not alone in juggling work and studies – Lexi is also a student with two jobs. She works during the day and also does freelance work for a company called Storm.

Amanda is taking on a new role as the host of the BBC show, Celebrity Inner Circle, adding to her already busy schedule.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m really excited about the new show ‘Celebrity Inner Circle’ launching this Saturday! Think ‘The Traitors’ meets ‘The Weakest Link’ – it’s going to be a fun, fast-paced competition where celebrities will be tested not only on their knowledge, but also on how well they *really* know each other. It’s airing right before ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, so it’s the perfect way to kick off a Saturday night of entertainment!

She admits she’s nervous about presenting solo but is determined to make it a success. 

Amanda admitted to feeling nervous, explaining that she’d been involved with the project from beginning to end and it had been a lengthy undertaking.

I was asked to test the concept before it was fully developed for television. I did this in a church hall while a group of executives evaluated whether it had potential.

The BBC was full of people checking every detail to make sure everything ran smoothly. I spent the day on my feet, asking questions and chatting with everyone, and that really helped me feel like I was contributing as myself, rather than just playing the role of a quiz show host.

This feels genuine and important to me, so I really hope it succeeds. It matters deeply to both myself and everyone involved.

Amanda filmed all 32 episodes of the show in Glasgow earlier this year, and she’s shared her favorite outfit from the series – a piece designed by a very famous designer.

She mentioned having access to a large wardrobe of clothes, but she chose to re-wear some items she’d used in previous shows, even ones from a few years back. She explained that this is a good example of sustainable fashion.

I had a beautiful leather dress by Victoria Beckham, and I often wear dresses I’ve purchased myself that I haven’t had a chance to wear on Heart.

Amanda didn’t just enjoy the fashion aspect of the show; she actually learned some new things while hosting it. She shared one surprising fact: ‘Slugs have teeth!’

It’s funny—I learned some surprising facts today! Did you know bananas are technically berries, and strawberries are related to roses? Forget about the Croatian flag, the most interesting thing I found out was that slugs have teeth, and I’ve been telling everyone!
