Amanda Holden imposes strict rules on A* student daughter before she can start modelling

Amanda Holden revealed her A-star student daughter Lexi has to follow strict rules before she's allowed to embark on a modelling career.

The Heart Breakfast star, 52, shares 17-year-old daughter Lexi and 11-year-old Hollie with her husband Chris Hughes.

Last year, Lexi signed with Storm modelling agency and will be joining her mum in the limelight.

However, mum Amanda wants Lexi to focus on finishing school before she starts modelling.

"Lexi's an A* student so I don't want her to mess that up and she wants to do it all," Amanda revealed.

In order to help with her career, Amanda takes her to 'relevant' events like fashion awards shows.

Speaking to MailOnline, Amanda said: "We went to the Fashion Awards which was really exciting. So yeah, I want to take her to the right things, the relevant things.

"She's interested in the fashion side of things."

In March 2021, Amanda announced the news of Lexi joining the Storm modelling agency.

Storm is the same agency that represented supermodel Kate Moss for much of her fruitful career.

Other stars signed to the agency include Lottie Moss, 25, supermodel Cindy Crawford, 57, and musician Michael Bublé, 47.

She commented at the time: "It will be a soft, slow thing and [Lexi] won't do anything until she's 18 but they want her and that's what she wants to do."

At the beginning of this year, Amanda admitted she doesn't want Lexi ever signing up for Love Island.

"No way.. my daughter’s 18 next year," she said. "It's just another way of being famous, isn't it really? It's not really about love. It's just about looking hot and just getting involved... but I mean, it's just amazing telly but it's not really for love so I don't want my daughter anywhere near."

She previously shared her concerns as Lexi is a fan of the ITV2 dating competition.

She said: "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'."
