Amanda Holden confiscates 16-year-old daughter's 'skimpy' clothes and wears them herself

Amanda Holden has revealed she confiscates her daughter Lexi's 'skimpy' clothes - and wears them herself.

The 51-year-old star is known for her risqué and bold outfits and even previously received record number complaints about some of her more daring ensembles.

However, the mum remains strict with fashion when it comes to her teenage daughter who recently tried to wear a 'bikini top' to Reading Festival.

The Britain's Got Talent judge explained: "There’s this sequinned... I wouldn’t even call it a bikini top. My daughter’s 16!

"I went, 'No, you’re not wearing that to Reading Festival, but Mummy can have it,' so Mummy’s got it, and waiting for a moment to wear it.

"It just about covers the bits up top that you would expect it to cover, but it was definitely not for my daughter."

She added to The Sun that her daughter would get her top back when she turns 18.

It comes after the Heart Radio presenter recently voiced her worries that Lexi will want to go on Love Island when she's older.

Lexi became 'obsessed' with this year's series - which saw Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti win.

Amanda said she banned her eldest from ever participating in the ITV2 dating series, admitting Lexi might have got ideas to be a future islander after seeing how Michael Owen's 19-year-old daughter Gemma and now Ronan Keating's son Jack, 23, form part of the line-up.

She said on Heart Radio Breakfast: "So this is becoming a bit of an obsession with my teenage daughter at home now, whose never taken one scrap of interest in Love Island and now is all over it.

"Which worries me slightly bearing in mind that Michael Owen’s daughter is on it, and I’m like, 'you ain’t ever going on it, Alexa'."

Jamie Theakston replied: "Oh, imagine that!"

"But anyways, she’s loving watching it… I can imagine it, and I’m not," Amanda said.

To which Jamie teased: "Oh please, it would be perfect for this show".

Amanda hit back: "No it wouldn’t. Mama said no. She loves me too much, she won’t do it!"
