Amanda Holden slams claims daughter Lexi is a ‘nepo baby’ & claims model contract ‘nothing to do with me being her mum’
TELLY star Amanda Holden says it is unfair to call her daughter a “nepo baby” — as all parents want to help their children succeed.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge has given the profile of model Lexi, 19, a push as they are pictured together at red carpet events.
Amanda, 54, makes no apologies, and insists her daughter bagging a modelling contract with top agency Storm is not down to having a famous mum.
And she said her daughter’s long-term success will be down to her own hard work and abilities.
She told the Radio Times of Lexi’s contract: “Yes, she’s related to me, but that’s nothing to do with me.
“The word ‘nepo’ can be thrown around forever, but it’s unfair it’s been used in showbiz.
“When I was young, I got a job in a fruit and veg shop as my mum knew the guy.
“If you know someone can help your child get in somewhere, you’ll do whatever.”
Amanda has two children with her showbiz agent husband, Chris Hughes, 51.
Their youngest is 13-year-old Hollie, while Lexi completed her A-levels last year and is now at university.
Amanda pointed out helping a child get their foot in the door did not necessarily ensure success.
She said: “They have to have talent and backbone, and work to succeed.
“I’m proud of my daughter, doing stuff for Storm as well as two normal jobs while at uni.
“She’s not going to come out with a debt — that’s amazing.”
Delete those pricey programs with our four tips to help you find the best bargain software solutions
COMPUTER software subscriptions can cost a fortune each year.
But you don’t always need to pay for powerful programs.
We asked Jennifer Bruton, director at tech security experts Bores.com, for the best safe and free alternatives . . .
WRITE ON: Many use the Microsoft 365 suite for writing documents, at an annual cost of £84.99 per year, but there is a free alternative.
Jennifer says: “Hands down, the best alternative to Microsoft Office applications is LibreOffice (libreoffice.org).
“It’s free, and open source, as a successor to a project called OpenOffice.”
This suite enables you to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations fully compatible with Microsoft file formats.
PHOTO EDITS: Adobe Photoshop costs £262.51 annually but Jennifer suggests: “You can try Gimp (gimp.org) and Krita (krita.org), two open-source graphic editors which are well respected and have comparable capabilities to Photoshop.”
Gimp is used for photo manipulation and retouching, while Krita is favoured by digital artists for its paint tools.
For something quite similar to Adobe InDesign, Jennifer suggests Scribus (scribus.net).
She says: “It’s a great tool for desktop publishing, and again free and open source.”
PROBLEM PDFs: Jennifer says: “The hardest program to replace is Adobe Acrobat.
“There isn’t really a good open- source equivalent to edit PDFs, for various reasons including the format not being designed for it.”
But her workaround is simple.
She says: “The best bet is to edit your existing documents, and generate a new PDF.”
This means making changes in the original file, such as a Word document or a Scribus layout, and then using the “Export to PDF” function.
SAFETY FIRST: Downloading free software requires caution.
Jennifer says: “If downloading from the official website directly it’s pretty safe, but at Bores.com, we do not recommend downloading from a third-party site as you have no way to tell if the software has been altered.”
