Amanda Holden posed with her lookalike daughters Lexi, 16, and Hollie, 10, for a sweet mother and daughter photo.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 51, looked chic in a pale pink coat which she layered over a white turtleneck.

Following their mother’s style lead, daughters Lexi and Hollie coordinated in cream-coloured looks.

Sharing the picture to her Instagram on Sunday, she captioned the post: “My girls …” alongside two love-heart emojis.

Holden’s social media post comes after she said she wants fellow BGT star David Walliams to remain on the judging panel amid claims he may lose the high-profile job.

The TV star said she is firmly “team David” after the comedian was forced to apologise following a leaked recording that caught him calling an elderly performer on the talent show the C-word three times.

According to a transcript leaked to the Guardian, the best-selling children’s author also said of a female hopeful: “She’s like the slightly boring girl you meet in the pub that thinks you want to f*** them but you don’t.”

When asked if the author/comedian should return to the next series, Holden told Good Morning Britain at the Variety Club Showbusiness Awards: “I would like to see the judging panel look like it did before.

“I think we’re a great team, we’re a family,” said Holden, whose other panellists are show boss Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon.

Asked directly if she was “Team David”, she replied, “Of course I’m team David!”

Walliam’s slurs were picked up by a microphone used to record chats between him and fellow judges Holden, Cowell, and Dixon at the London Palladium in January 2020.

Cowell has refused to confirm David Walliams’ return to Britain’s Got Talent judging panel amid the backlash.

When Cowell was asked by the Daily Star about Walliams’ behaviour, he said: “Can we not go there? If you don’t mind.”

And when asked if the Little Britain star will be back on BG in 2023, he said a decision is yet to be made.

He added: “Ask me in a few weeks.”

Show bosses previously confirmed that Walliams has been reprimanded for his derogatory comments.
