Lexi, who was unveiled as the face of Superdrug after signing her first modelling contract last year, displayed her long legs and tiny waist in the\u00a0squad’s iconic white-and-blue hot pants and crop top.<\/p>\n

While Amanda also shared a sweet throwback photo of Lexi as a little girl, showing her raising her arm in the air in a near-identical pose.<\/p>\n

Captioning the post, the mother-of-two penned: ‘Put your hands up if you’re 20 today!!! (Miss @lexi.hughes) Mama and Dada love you so much – our strong, bright, kind, loyal, funny girl!!!! Little Lexi Lou \u2665\ufe0f’<\/p>\n

For her birthday, Amanda and Chris treated their eldest child to a cosy cabin getaway in Exmouth, where they enjoyed a luxury meal out and a spot of pottery painting.<\/p>\n

Sharing a glimpse into the wholesome celebrations, the star also showed off the inside of their\u00a0\u00a3427-per-night accommodation in the woods.<\/p>\n

Amanda showed off the pink shepherd hut, which featured a floral themed bedroom, a stainless steel bath and a small sitting area with a ’20’ balloon on padded seating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While she also reposted snaps of the family working on their creations during their visit to seaside art studio, Arty Boat, and proudly\u00a0posed with her finished painted wooden duck.<\/p>\n

In the evening, the family got dressed up as they enjoyed a lavish meal out as Lexi was treated to a chocolate birthday cake.<\/p>\n

The model, who stunned in a black sleeveless outfit complete with a swipe of red lipstick, enjoyed a glass of fizz as she cosied up for a photo with her parents, with Amanda captioned:\u00a0‘Our little girl turned 20 on the 20th’.<\/p>\n

It comes after the radio revealed her daughters weren’t interested by her showbiz career, despite growing up with one of the most recognisable faces on British TV.<\/p>\n

However, she said she has always encouraged her girls to stay grounded and to develop ‘a thick skin’ if they ever choose to follow her into the public eye.<\/p>\n

Speaking about life at home with husband Chris, Amanda told The Sun: ‘You do have to develop a thick skin, and they both know that mummy has one and that we take everything with a pinch of salt in our house. So I hope they’ve learnt enough from me.’<\/p>\n

And while Lexi has already signed to top modelling agency Storm, she admitted Hollie has no interest in fame and even dodges being spotted with her mother at the school gates.<\/p>\n

She recalled: ‘I picked Hollie up from her new school the other day and she does not want any connection with me.<\/p>\n

‘I got out of the car, she saw me and literally crossed the road.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amanda laughed: ‘She’s like, “Mum, please get back in the car!” So they’re both very down to earth.’<\/p>\n

Despite her children’s lack of interest in her fame, she said she was proud they’d grown up with their feet firmly on the ground, describing her family life as ‘normal and chaotic’ away from the cameras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Holden has shared a gushing tribute to her daughter Hollie, as her\u00a0youngest child turned 14 years old…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[36803,539,93,61,60,1489],"class_list":["post-259729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-amanda-holden","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
