Amanda Holden issues plea to husband amid emotional admission

The TV star is known for starring as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent as well as presenting other shows, such as this year’s Cheat: Unfinished Business.
A household name across the UK, she lives in a four-bedroom thatched cottage near Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds.
The 54-year-old shares two daughters, 19-year-old Lexi and 13-year-old Hollie, with her husband Chris Hughes.

Ms Holden has now admitted on the Heart Breakfast show she would have liked more children with her husband, whom she married back in 2008.
“Oh, I would’ve had loads if I had met Chris earlier, I would’ve had loads,” she said.
“I would’ve gone for four, I think, but yeah, I’m going to say we had three, we ended up with two if you know what I mean.”

Back in 2011, the couple lost their second child, Theo, who was stillborn just a year before their second daughter, Hollie, was born.
Making a plea to her partner, she said: “[We’ve got] lots of furry babies, I’m going to have to talk to Chris because I really want to rescue another puppy, and if he’s listening and it goes out on air, it’ll be very difficult for him to turn me down.
“Darling, I love you.”
