YAY!! Amanda Holden gives birth to a baby girl

Lovely, weepy talent-show judge Amanda Holden gave birth to a healthy baby girl on 23 January. Amanda and husband Chris have named her Hollie Rose Hughes, which a nice, normal, and very pretty name. Hollie is a sister for Amanda's daughter Lexi, 6.

Amanda gave birth after checking herself into hospital two days previously for observation. Spokeswoman Alison Griffin stated that although Hollie Rose was a healthy 6lb 1oz, Amanda had been "in a critical condition for the past three days."

Although she had commitments to film for the new series of Britain's Got Talent, Amanda's condition was such that her fellow judges carried on without her while she stayed in hospital.

It's definitely better safe than sorry in these cases, especially as Amanda suffered the traumatic stillbirth of her son at 7 months pregnant last year.

Best wishes to the Holden-Hughes family!

Amanda Holden Loses Baby

After miscarrying last year, Amanda Holden decided to keep her recent pregancy a secret until she was six months gone, at which point the majority of pregnancies are considered safe. However, devastatingly for her and her and husband Chris Hughes, they have lost the baby at 7 months.

The couple must be absolutely devastated, and my heart goes out to them. I can't even imagine the pain they must be suffering right now.
