Amanda Holden confiscates 16-year-old daughter's 'skimpy' clothes for herself

Amanda Holden has revealed she confiscates her daughter Lexi's 'skimpy' clothing to wear for herself.

The Britain's Got Talent judge is well known for causing a stir with her bold fashion choices, and outfits that receive record-breaking complaints. However, despite her own daring decisions, she keeps strict rules for her 16-year-old daughter and even recently confiscated one of her tops to keep for herself.

Speaking to The Sun, the 51-year-old actress recalled that Lexi tried to wear a 'bikini top' to Reading Festival. She said: "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. In two years, she can get it back."

This comes after the Heart Radio presenter voiced her concerns 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 has 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!"
