Amanda Holden did not see her newborn baby daughter for the first three days of her life.
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda holden went into labour a month early on Monday last, and her baby Hollie Rose was delivered later that day by emergency Caesarean. It was recently revealed that she was kept apart from newborn daughter for three days while recovering in intensive care in hospital. Wednesday night was the first time she would have met Hollie after doctors judged that she was sufficiently stable for baby to be in close contact with mother.
The 40-year-old presenter had gone to hospital after filming auditions for the ITV talent show. She reputedely lost several pints of blood, and had to have a number of transfusions.
Hollie Rose weighed in at just over six pounds and was described as healthy, although she was placed in an incubator briefly following birth. Amanda's husband, record producer Chris Hughes is hugely relieved that mother and daughter are doing well at this point.
