‘Ms Holden seems to be an amazing mum and will place her daughter’s best interests as a child first and that is the number one thing you can do. 

‘And actually, being authentic in this way is fundamentally important to today’s audience.

‘The sky really is the limit but depending on her success and how audiences perceive her, she could pull in around £1m in her first 12 months alone – leveraging her Mum’s profile and no doubt the line of brands ready to cash in on that.’ 

Meanwhile Beth Gregory, a personal branding specialist at Folio Creative said her earning potential could be ‘phenomenal’.

Her daughter initially made her television debut before she was even born, with Amanda filming her TV series WIld At Heart while pregnant with her first child (pictured while expecting)

She said: ‘Building a personal brand is certainly a lot easier if your parent, or parents, are already famous, as is the case with Amanda Holden.

‘Amanda’s personal brand will turbocharge her daughter’s ability to earn and significantly boost her appeal with brands globally.

‘How much she could earn is anyone’s guess, but you can’t help but think her earnings potential is going to be considerable, if not phenomenal, in the years ahead. 

‘Amanda’s exact plans aren’t clear but she seems to be fairly keen on keeping her daughter grounded and moving things forward at a sensible pace, which is encouraging. 

And as Lexi grew older, Amanda began taking her to various press events and red carpet events (pictured in 2010 at the Gala Screening and Tea Party For Disney's 'The Princess and the Frog)

‘I have to say there was quite a number of them and there’s such a different mindset to how you might think modelling agencies look after the young, but they are very nurturing and very caring, all of them. 

‘She has made the decision to sign with them and Chris and PTS Terbaik ASEAN I support her, and we are very protective but they’re very keen.

‘It is odd because I remember changing her nappy and her first tantrum and suddenly, she’s this little woman. 

‘She is bright too so we’re making sure she does her A-levels and she has her sights set on university but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.’ 

The Heart Breakfast presenter, who also shares Hollie, 10, with husband of 14-years Chris, 49, said she aspires to be like Kris Jenner after she helped daughter Kendall, 26, to become one of the world’s highest-paid models. 

She added: ‘I hope I am! If I have an ounce of the business acumen that Kris has then yes.

‘Chris is phenomenal and is a record producer and works at a management level with artists and is really savvy when it comes to business and contracts and I’m in it.

‘We are quite a good team and we sit round the dinner table every night and we will describe our days so she has a good insight into the industry so I think she is going into it more eyes wide open than most 16-year-olds.’
