Amanda Holden has opened up about the struggles of balancing work and family after a recent episode left her daughter Hollie decidedly frosty towards her.
Chatting on the Heart breakfast show with co-host Jason King (JK), Amanda shared that, despite squeezing in an hour at home to spend with Hollie after rehearsals with best mate Alan Carr for the glitzy Royal Variety Performance, things didn't go smoothly. The 53- year-old mum revealed Hollie was "super upset" without giving any clear reason, and Amanda felt perplexed by her mood.
Amanda reflected: "I saw my daughter for an hour last night, she was super upset with me. I mean she's upset with me about something anyway every day."
She continued with a tone of bewilderment: "But you know when you've only got that hour to sort of go 'I love you, okay yes I'm sorry for...you know, I don't know what I did wrong last night to be honest, she's at that age."
Describing their bedtime routine, she asserted: "I got into bed with her for an hour, I gave her nice tickles, that's what she likes, nice tickles on her arm. And then she had a row with me about something and you just go out of the room going 'I rushed home, I'm knackered myself, I just want to go to bed and I've got a teenager.", reports the Daily Record.
Despite the tiff, Amanda and daughter Hollie had a fabulous evening earlier this week, hitting the red carpet at the UK premiere of Wicked at The Royal Festival Hall.

The mother of two described the jumpsuit as "squelchy" while navigating through the crowd at the beginning of the event, before sharing a laugh about the ordeal with JK.
She explained: "Oh my gosh, I was poured into that suit last night. I had to have, and I can't use the word of the potion that was put in the suit to make sure I could squish into it.
"It wasn't talcum powder, it was a lubricant, and it was squeezed into my outfit and then I was squished, poured into it.
"Then of course, the minute you start getting warm, your own sweat and glow adds to that. So I was in a very squelchy, but warm [outfit], last night but probably the only one who was dressed for the weather."
Amanda and her spouse, record producer Chris Hughes, are parents to two daughters; Alexa 'Lexi' Louise Florence and Hollie Rose. Heartbreakingly, their son Theo, who was stillborn in February 2011, passed away seven months into Amanda's pregnancy.
