Amanda Holden has addressed her daughter Hollie's claim that Britain's Got Talent mogul Simon Cowell had split from his partner Lauren Silverman, on The One Show.
Simon and Lauren have been together since 2013 and they share six-year-old son Eric together.
Eyebrows were raised when 49-year-old Amanda's daughter Hollie, eight, made a remark about Simon and Lauren having split up, when she appeared on her mum's Instagram live.
Speaking to her 1.8million followers about her fellow BGT judge Simon, Amanda said: "Lauren, Simon's girlfriend, sent me some lovely pictures of them cooking together the other day.
"Simon's quite good at cooking I think, so I think they won't have a chef now."
A confused-looking Hollie chipped in: "I thought they broke up?"
Amanda responded hastily: "Simon and Lauren? Don't be stupid!"
She appeared on BBC's The One Show to speak to hosts Alex Jones and Gethin Jones about her charity single, Over The Rainbow, which is raising money for key workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
And she addressed her daughter's comment and Simon and Lauren, clearing up once and for all that Hollie made a mistake.
Gethin remarked: "Hollie has been in the news this week."
Amanda replied: "Poor old Hollie. Who quotes an eight-year-old?"
Alex added: "It was just an innocent comment", to which Amanda concluded: "Yeah, little sausage."
* The One Show airs weekdays on BBC One at 7pm
