Amanda Holden has proudly announced that her daughter Lexi Hughes has passed her A-levels, securing a place at her first-choice university.
The 53-year-old Britain’s Got Talent judge is the mother of the 18-year-old aspiring model and treated the teenager to dinner to celebrate after she passed her exams.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘Congratulations to our @lexi.hughes__ we couldn’t be more proud. All grades and first choice uni what a bloody relief.’
The former Wild At Heart actress, who has been married to Chris Hughes since 2008 and is also married to Hollie (12), also shared a photo of an emotional Lexi in front of a cake with the caption “Congratulations Lexi” and “OMG I did it!”.
This came after Lexi was suddenly rushed to hospital earlier this year after being infected with E. coli.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge is the mother of the aspiring model and arranged for the teenager to be taken for a celebratory meal after she passed her exams.
While discussing the warning signs to watch out for during the latest outbreak, Amanda revealed to The sun that her daughter Lexi was suffering from bloating and stomach cramps.
She said, “Lexi had been complaining of bloating and stomach cramps for about three weeks.”
‘She was not happy at all and had a lot of pain in her stomach.’
‘It was around the time of homework assignments and her A-levels, so I thought it was the stress of the exams.’
However, Amanda admitted she had a bacterial infection when she took her daughter to the GP, who insisted she have some blood and stool tests done.
The star then revealed that while filming in Spain, she received calls from various government officials asking her to fill out various forms about where her daughter might have eaten and what kind of food they had stored at home.
Amanda shared that Lexi has VTEC E. coli bacteria, a very harmful strain of bacteria that is very rare in humans.
The model is Amanda’s eldest child with husband Chris Hughes and is often compared to her famous mother, 52, due to their very similar looks (pictured in 2022)

The HeartFM presenter also told how devastated she was by the news, as she could not figure out how her daughter contracted the bacterial infection.
She admitted that she even had her rabbits and cat tested after the doctor asked if she lived on a farm or had livestock, as the infection is more common among farmers.
The star also confessed that the antibiotics her daughter was given didn’t seem to be working, claiming her doctor called her and said, “I don’t want to alarm you.” He then told her that Lexi’s blood counts were “through the roof” and that she was at risk of “sepsis.”
The mother of two claimed that hearing the word sepsis was “terrifying” to say the least.
