Amanda Holden has sent fans into a frenzy after sharing an adorable family snap from their holiday in the south of France.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge posed alongside her husband Chris and daughters Lexi, 14, and Hollie, eight, and shared the photo with her 1.5million Instagram followers, with the caption, “Ma famille ❤️ 🇫🇷.”

Amanda’s fans and celeb pals rushed to compliment her, with Olivia Attwood writing, “Stunning family!!!! 💜💜💜.”

“Stunning the lot of you 💗,” added soap star Lucy-Jo Hudson, while Alesha Dixon commented, "Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️.”

But what really got Amanda’s followers talking was her eldest daughter Lexi’s uncanny resemblance to This Morning host Holly Willoughby.

One wrote, “Your daughter so reminds me of a young Holly Willoughby! I knew her at 15!”, to which another replied, “I was thinking exactly the same!”

A third remarked, “Your daughter is like a mini Holly Willoughby!”

Last year, Amanda overtook Holly as the highest paid female television presenter after a busy year which reportedly saw her take home £5million.

She’s thought to earn £1m from her regular spot on the judging panel on Britain’s Got Talent, and has also secured a string of six-figure deals on top of her TV work, including being an ambassador for M&S and ranges with QVC interiors and a clothing line, Fenn Wright Manson.

This is all alongside her daily breakfast show on Heart radio, as well as the extra income from her record deal with EMI after a clip of her singing went viral.

Amanda also surprised fans last month after revealing a secret cameo on EastEnders.

Speaking on her radio show, Amanda admitted that she’d had a bit part playing a stall owner at Albert Square’s infamous market back in 1993 when she was starting her career.

“When I left drama school, EastEnders was one of the first jobs I got,” she said.

“I had to look after someone's stall for half an hour which was like four episodes or something. I was opposite [Ian Beale actor] Adam Woodyatt."

She went on to say, "Ian Beale, I looked after a jewellery stall and he had his fruit and veg, there was a lot of messing around with rude fruit, that's all I'm going to say. I had a lot of fun, it was a nice show to do."
