Amanda Holden says her daughter Lexi will finish studying before starting a modelling career

Amanda Holden has revealed her daughter Lexi plans to prioritise finishing her studies before launching a modelling career.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 51, previously said the 16-year-old had been snapped up by Storm, the agency that represented supermodel Kate Moss for 28 years.

However, Holden insisted her daughter had “so many ambitions” and still has her heart set on attending university while embarking on a career in modelling.

“Lexi was approached last year and obviously we were waiting until she was 16 to sign anything. It’s something she actually wants to do, so I’m taking the lead from her,” she told The Sun.

“She’s a very quiet girl but she knows her own mind. She’s very bright and wants to continue her studies.

“There’s no pressure and we’ll just see what happens. But finishing her education is very much her plan, she’ll have our support whatever she decides to do.”

The Heart Breakfast Show presenter also shares ten-year-old daughter Hollie with her record producer husband Chris Hughes, 49.

Previously, the mother-of-two insisted her eldest daughter won’t step into the spotlight until she turns 18 years old.

Speaking about signing with Storm, she told MailOnline at the time: “They came after her and they’re very lovely and nurturing and it will be a soft, slow thing and she won’t do anything until she’s 18.

“I have to say there was quite a number of them and there’s such a different mindset to how you might think modelling agencies look after the young, but they are very nurturing and very caring, all of them.

“She has made the decision to sign with them and Chris and I support her, and we are very protective but they’re very keen.”
