Holden describes ‘horrifying’ loss of baby

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has spoken of the “horrifying” loss of her baby but said she was turning “negatives into positives” and still thought about having “more children”.

The actress, 40, was seven months pregnant when her baby boy, with music executive husband Chris Hughes, stopped moving, and was then stillborn earlier this year.

Ms Holden told ITV1 show Lorraine: “I’m a naturally really optimistic girl and I can - my husband and I ... we’re not dramatic people.”

She said: “Although what’s happened is obviously horrifying, there’s no reason why we don’t have... we can go on and have more children and our future’s bright.”

The star, mum to five-year-old daughter Lexi, added: “You have to turn negatives into positives, and try and see everything as a blessing and that’s exactly what we’ve done.”

Ms Holden said her fans’ had been “amazing”, adding: “I’ve had unbelievable support and it truly has got us both through it, really.”
