Lexi Hughes, the 20-year-old daughter of television personality Amanda Holden, has shared a series of photographs from a holiday in Corfu, showcasing herself in a mint green bikini by the pool. The images emerged as her mother addressed the ongoing debate surrounding "nepotism babies" in the entertainment industry.
Holden, speaking to the Daily Mail, defended the idea of parents helping their children gain entry into professions, asserting that while connections might open doors, success ultimately depends on individual merit. "Being someone's kid is not going to secure work, make a living for you and longevity in whatever career," Holden stated. "It may get you a foot in the door, but then you're on your own."
Hughes, who signed with Storm Management and made her modeling debut at London Fashion Week in 2024, has recently entered the fashion world. The recent swimwear photos highlight her modeling work, with one set of images showing her posing by a swimming pool, accentuating her figure.
Holden further elaborated on her stance, drawing parallels to her own efforts to help individuals, including her daughters, gain experience at Global Radio, where she hosts Heart Breakfast. She noted that her younger daughter, Hollie, 14, will also participate in a similar program. "If I can help anyone, I'll do it. It's not just my own kids, it's my friends' kids," Holden said. She expressed dislike for the term "nepo baby," emphasizing that individuals must prove themselves. Holden also shared that her younger daughter feels embarrassed by her fame.
Regarding Lexi's career path, Holden indicated that her daughter is independent, describing her as "studious" and possessing a level head. "She's very like Chris, my husband, in that respect, and she sort of stands back and observes," Holden commented. "So I think whatever happens, whichever road she actually ends up going down, she'll succeed because she's intelligent and cynical. And I think those two things are quite good for someone of 20."
