Amanda Holden wants family to become the new Kardashians as daughter lands modelling jobs

Amanda Holden may be the face of several TV shows but she has dreams of her family becoming the UK's equivalent of the Kardashians.

The American superstars rose to fame when Kris Jenner's ex-husband, Robert Kardashian, acted as OJ Simpson's attorney after he was accused of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson.

But their world was rocked when they signed up for a fly-on-the-wall reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2007, detailing every aspect of their lives – warts and all.

While some may dream of living a peaceful and quiet lifestyle, the Kar-Jenner clan bared everything from nude photoshoots to intimate tapes.

Now, Amanda has revealed she would happily sign on the dotted line to catapult her family to such levels of fame.

"I would do it," exclaimed, before adding: "Chris wouldn't."

The 52-year-old went on to tell OK!: "I've said, 'Right, if they offered us millions to be the new Kardashians, would you do it?' and he goes 'No', it's a shame, I always think we would be quite fun."

Amanda is hoping that her youngest daughter Hollie, 11, will follow in her footsteps and become famous as she's "a natural performer" after her eldest, Lexi, 17, landed a modelling contract.

However, she's adamant that Lexi must finish her education and attend university before becoming a full-time model.

Speaking to MailOnline, Amanda said: "I feel like Hollie will do what I do, she's a natural performer.

"People have called her out saying 'she's got it' and not just because she's my daughter, she does all her little clubs, and everyone raves about her.

"She lights up a room, she's miss personality, she's just gorgeous, she's the communicator of the family, she never stops talking!"

Meanwhile, Lexi signed with the same agency that turned Kate Moss into a supermodel and she has Amanda's full support.

Speaking in March last year, Amanda explained that modelling is actually something Lexi wants to do and she is letting her daughter make her own decisions about her blossoming career.

"She's a very quiet girl but she knows her own mind. She's very bright and wants to continue her studies," she proudly told The Sun.

"She's got her eyes set on university and she has so many ambitions. We want them all to come true for her as any parent would.

The Heart Breakfast presenter added: "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."
