Back in 1991, Amanda Holden first appeared on TV as a contestant on Cilla Black’s Blind Date.
Now, the Britain’s Got Talent star wants to host her own dating show – and would even allow her daughters Alexa, 18, and Hollie, 12, to feature on it.
Amanda, 53, told MailOnline: ‘The dream for me is to have a dating show. I wouldn’t let my girls go on Love Island but if they wanted to go on a dating show, I would let them.’
The star was just 19 when she took part in Blind Date, telling viewers that her ideal man would be film star Jack Nicholson.
However, Amanda added: ‘My 18-year-old’s very shy so there’s no way she will want to go on camera. She’s an A-star student who wants to study English at uni, but the little one is nuts – she will definitely follow in my footsteps.’

It comes after Amanda revealed she is delighted her daughters ‘steal’ her clothes, with the star insisting she sees it as ‘a compliment’.
Amanda is mother to daughters Alexa, 18, and Hollie, 12, who are the same dress and shoe size as their famous mother.
While she is happy for her offspring to raid her wardrobe, she admits it doesn’t come without risk.
Radio host Amanda explained to Women’s Health : ‘My daughters steal everything from me!’
She added: ‘I trust my 18-year-old with some of the posher stuff I have in my wardrobe, but 100% I wouldn’t trust my youngest with any of it.
‘Just the other day, she borrowed a cream tracksuit of mine, and just as I said “please tuck a tea towel into that, Hollie”, her omelette went down it and you just go “oh gosh, I just give up”.’
However, Amanda claims the fact they are able to wear the same clothes means they can keep their luggage to a minimum when they go away.
Amanda, 53, said: ‘The dream for me is to have a dating show. I wouldn’t let my girls go on Love Island but if they wanted to go on a dating show, I would let them.’
Amanda added: ‘My 18-year-old’s very shy so there’s no way she will want to go on camera. She’s an A-star student who wants to study English at uni, but the little one is nuts – she will definitely follow in my footsteps.’
She said: ‘The good thing is that when we go on holiday we only ever take hand luggage, because fitting in all the same stuff means between us we have so many things to wear.’
Amanda was announced as Lipsy’s oldest-ever brand ambassador in August 2023.
She joins the likes of actress Michelle Keegan, Selling Sunset favourite Chrishell Stause and Bollywood star Amy Jackson as face of the high-street brand.
Amanda said at the time: ‘I am thrilled to collaborate with Lipsy – we wanted to create a range that celebrates the spirit of the modern woman – confident, empowered, and utterly glamorous.
‘The pieces in this collection are not only stylish but also versatile, making them perfect for any occasion.’
It’s been a busy week for Amanda as she gets ready for the Britain’s Got Talent launch on Saturday night, with the show judge attending a photocall for the new series at London’s Ham Yard Hotel on Tuesday.

Last week, the television and radio star sparked a new feud with Sharon Osbourne when she called the TV personality, 71, ‘bitter and pathetic’ after she tore into Amanda’s friend and BGT boss Simon Cowell on Celebrity Big Brother.
Sharon, the wife of legendary Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne, retaliated by branding Amanda an ‘ill-informed sycophant’ in an acid-tongued social media letter.
Amanda had told the Daily Mail’s Weekend Magazine : ‘I hated seeing certain people in a reality show dissing Simon – he’s the person who’s given them all the chances, given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn’t have had.
‘It’s bitter and pathetic. It was like Cinderella with her two sisters in the background – just stabby, stabby, stabby.’
