One of Amanda Holden’s daughters has landed a new job with a popular high street favourite – weeks after her famous mum was involved in a nepotism row. The 54-year-old Britain’s Got Talent judge shares two daughters with her husband, Chris Hughes – Alexa and Hollie.
The former, known as Lexi, has bagged herself as the new face of Superdrug’s own-brand skincare line, POP. The university student and model told The Mail that the products are “very calming for young skin”, adding that the range is “approachable and very affordable”.
She said: “I’m just starting out, and I’m very focused on university and doing a good job. I try to stay focused on simple things and the things I love doing and surround myself with my friends and family.”
Superdrug posted a video completion of Lexi and her friend Yamour trying out the products to their Instagram just today, Sunday, October 26. The caption read: “Besties who share skincare routines stick together.”

In one of the videos, Lexi can be heard saying: “I love the packaging, and it’s so gentle on my skin.” The new job comes weeks after the ECHO reported how Amanda lashed out at suggestions that her children are “nepo babies”.
Admitting that her daughter Lexi’s numerous appearances alongside her at high-profile red carpet events may have helped the 19-year-old snag a contract with top model agency Storm, the TV personality said her daughters really aren’t obsessed with fame at all.
She told Closer Magazine: “It’s so weird. They’ve sort of grown up with it all. They’ve come to Britain’s Got Talent, and I wish I could say they were really excited and super thrilled by it all, but they’re just not.”

However, Amanda also revealed she wants her 13-year-old daughter Hollie to front a special junior version of The Inner Circle, adding: “Hollie came and stood on the podium and did my job and loved it, so I’ve got her all teed up for the junior version. She’d be a fabulous presenter for that.”
Meanwhile, Amanda has acknowledged that she wanted to help Lexi “get in somewhere” and sees nothing wrong with giving her kids a leg up.
She added: “When I was young, I got a job in a fruit ‘n’ veg shop because my mum knew the fruit ‘n’ veg guy. if you know someone that can help your child get in somewhere, you’ll do whatever.”
Amanda complained it was unfair that people were calling her daughters “nepo babies”, just because she and husband Chris work in the entertainment industry.
She insisted that her daughters are making a name for themselves on their own merits.
She said: “The word ‘nepo’ can be thrown around forever, but it’s unfair it’s been used in showbiz. They have to have talent and backbone and work to succeed.”
