Amanda Holden reveals daughter, 16, is joining Kate Moss’s modelling agency
Amanda Holden has revealed her daughter Lexi is joining Kate Moss’s modelling agency after they saw pictures of the stunning teen online.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 51, told MailOnline that Storm, who have propelled the likes of Cara Delevingne, 29, and Cindy Crawford, 56, to catwalk stardom, ‘came after’ her 16-year-old daughter and it was Lexi’s decision to sign on the dotted line ahead of interest from rival agencies.
In an exclusive interview, Amanda joked she would love to become a ‘momager’ like US reality star Kris Jenner, 66, who’s known for being the matriarch of the Kardashian family, and responsible for the success of her five millionaire daughters.

Amanda told MailOnline: ‘Lexi has just signed with Storm Management this week.
‘They came after her and they’re very lovely and nurturing and it will be a soft, slow thing and she won’t do anything until she’s 18 but they want her and that’s what she wants to do.
‘I have to say there was quite a number of them and there’s such a different mindset to how you might think modelling agencies look after the young, but they are very nurturing and very caring, all of them.
‘She has made the decision to sign with them and Chris and I support her, and we are very protective but they’re very keen.
‘It is odd because I remember changing her nappy and her first tantrum and suddenly, she’s this little woman. She is bright too so we’re making sure she does her A-levels and she has her sights set on university but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.’

The Heart Breakfast presenter, who also shares Hollie, 10, with husband of 14-years Chris, 49, said she aspires to be like Kris Jenner after she helped daughter Kendall, 26, to become one of the world’s highest-paid models.
She added: ‘I hope I am! If I have an ounce of the business acumen that Kris has then yes.
‘Chris is phenomenal and is a record producer and works at a management level with artists and is really savvy when it comes to business and contracts and I’m in it.
‘We are quite a good team and we sit round the dinner table every night and we will describe our days so she has a good insight into the industry so I think she is going into it more eyes wide open than most 16-year-olds.’
Lexi’s beautiful looks have been inherited from her TV star mum, who says maintaining her glamorous appearance even now she’s in her 50s is ‘part of her DNA.’

She said: ‘It’s rare that I’ve not got any makeup on.
‘It’s self-preservation, dignity, pride in how you look, and I’ve never knowingly been understated in any situation. Whenever I have been photographed or on a run or anything like that, I will always have mascara and a lip on, if not a lash, always.
‘When I’m on holiday I will strip it back a little bit but even then I’ll have a tinted moisturiser on and some sort of shimmery body lotion so I still look half decent while I’m roasting in the sunshine, which I love.
‘I don’t get sick of it… it is part of my DNA I have to say that.’
Amanda’s flawless looks and enviably toned body, which she often bares on Instagram to her 1.8million followers, isn’t the result of a vigorous training regime or strict dieting.

The Charles Worthington ambassador insists she still allows herself to enjoy alcohol and sweet treats because she wants to set a good example to her two daughters, who as they grow up are following her every move.
She said: ‘On Saturday I was my husband and daughters and had fish and chips and the next day I met friends for a big Sunday roast where I had a pint of Guinness and a red wine.
‘In the week I am very good, and I watch my calorie intake, but I don’t deny myself anything.
‘I have a healthy breakfast, a healthy lunch, and dinner, because I have two daughters and a 16-year-old now who is of that sort of age where she is constantly thinking about how she looks so I would never want to set an example of ‘mummy’s not having a pudding.’
‘She always asks, “mummy are you going to have a pudding?” and I’ll say, “are you having one?” and she goes “yeah” and I say “well I’m having one then” – then I’ll be thinking s*** it’s a Wednesday! I would rather have a glass of wine.’

It isn’t just her daughter’s success Amanda is celebrating – the presenter is ‘thrilled’ after being named as the new celebrity brand ambassador for Charles Worthington.
To mark 25 years in the business, Charles Worthington have collaborated with Amanda on her first ever hair campaign that exemplifies its ethos that ‘hair is at its best when it’s at its healthiest.’
And Amanda’s the perfect woman for the job having used Charles Worthington products for years and after celebrating her own milestone birthday in 2021.
She said: ‘Last year it was their 25th anniversary and it was my 50th so I just felt like it was the best time.
‘For me getting a campaign when I hit 50 was just incredible because I have always seen my peers like Davina [McCall], Holly [Willoughby], and Alesha [Dixon], everybody having all these amazing hair campaigns and I’m like ‘oh my God I want one’ so when it happened I was just thrilled because I thought maybe I had missed the boat but I haven’t.
‘I have been using the products since I can remember. My mum used to have them so therefore I had them.’

Amanda’s collaboration with the brand coincidences with the launch of new products that have been added to their Moisture Seal range, which focus on styling curly and wavy hair.
The star’s hair is naturally wavy, so the use of Charles Worthington’s new Moisture Seal Curl Reactivating Mist and Moisture Seal Curl Enhancing Balm, which boast Curl Calm Technology by using a blend of ingredients that add moisture and hydration to hair, is essential for keeping Amanda’s hair looking sleek and stylish while she’s on the move.
She added: ‘I change up my look all the time because I am always in different situations doing different things. I have all their products now they have educated me on them.
‘I stuck to my Ultra Violet range because of my hair tones but now I have the Volume & Bounce range and I’ve also got the Moisture Seal curl products because when I don’t blow dry my hair it is quite curly.
‘They have products for every situation and because of their technology they also look after your hair from the inside out.’
