Amanda Holden has proudly revealed her daughter Lexi Hughes passed her A-Levels, landing her a spot at her first choice of university.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 53, is mother to the aspiring model, 18, and made sure to take the teenager out for a celebratory meal when it emerged that she had been successful in her exams.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘Congratulations to our @lexi.hughes__ we couldn’t be prouder. All the grades and 1st choice uni what a bl**dy relief.’
The former Wild At Heart actress – who has been married to Chris Hughes since 2008 and also has Hollie, 12, with him – also shared a photo of an emotional Lexi in front of a cake that read ‘Lexi congratulations’ and ‘OMG I did it!’.
It comes after Lexi was suddenly rushed to hospital after contracting E.coli earlier this year.

While discussing the warning signs to look out for amid the latest outbreak, Amanda revealed to The Sun that her daughter Lexi had been suffering from bloating and stomach cramps.
She said: ‘For about three weeks, Lexi had been complaining of bloating and stomach cramps.’
‘She was not happy at all and in quite a lot of pain with her tummy.’
‘It was around the time of revision and her A-levels, so I was just putting this down to exam stress.’
However, Amanda admitted that after taking her daughter to her GP, who insisted on her doing some blood and stool samples, the results came back as a bacterial infection.
The star then revealed that while she was filming in Spain, she began to get calls from various government officials asking her to fill out several forms about where her daughter might have eaten and what kind of food they had stored in their home.
Stating that the cultures come back, Amanda revealed that Lexi has VTEC E. coli, which is a very harmful strain of bacteria that’s very rare in humans.

The HeartFM host also told how perplexed she was by the news as she couldn’t work out how her daughter came down with the bacterial infection.
She admitted that she even had her rabbits and cat checked after the doctor asked if she lived on a farm or had any livestock, as the infection is usually affiliated with farmers.
The star also confessed that the antibiotics her daughter was given didn’t seem to be working and claimed her doctor called her saying ‘I don’t want to alarm you’ before telling her Lexi’s bloods were ‘through the roof’ and she was in danger of ‘contracting sepsis’.
The mother-of-two claimed that hearing the word sepsis was ‘terrifying’ to say the least.
