Amanda Holden attended the UK premiere of Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers in Leicester Square solo over the weekend. The Britain’s Got Talent star, who voices character Amanda the Spider in the animated film, expressed her regret that her two lookalike daughters, Lexi, 20, and Hollie, 14, were not by her side as she walked the yellow carpet.
The 55-year-old presenter looked chic in a Holland Cooper outfit, and when quizzed about whether her daughters help her get ready for events, she told HELLO!: “Normally, my children will be with me, but one’s at university and the other is 14. There’s no getting her out of bed for a premiere at 10 o’clock in the morning.”

While the girls typically accompany their mother to such glamorous events, many parents will relate to the changes that occur as children grow older. Amanda appeared nostalgic for Hollie’s younger years, joking: “I left her sleeping, which is so sad because normally when she was little she’d be here, clutching my hand, dead excited to see the movie, but we can watch it in the cinema.”

Amanda has been open about her approach to parenting, telling HELLO! in an exclusive chat in May 2025 about the advice she gave her eldest daughter as she started university.
“I’m sort of saying to her, this is where you’ll find your people. This is your chance to not worry what people think or how you’re perceived. It’s a chance for you to find your family outside your family, grow as a human being, and not care about opinions,” she explained.

Regarding her daughters’ personalities, Amanda said: “Lexi’s super diligent and constantly wanting to help and questioning how she can make herself useful in the world, which I’m thinking is definitely a female thing in our family.”
Life in Surrey
Away from red carpets and radio studios, Amanda lives with her husband and daughters in a family home in Surrey valued at approximately £7 million. The family moved to their Cobham mansion in late 2023 after relocating from London.
