Amanda Holden 'thrilled' to be back home with baby

New mum Amanda has spent a week in hospital following life-threatening child birth

Amanda Holden has returned home with her new daughter Hollie after a week in hospital, where she was in a critical condition following a life-threatening child birth.

The Britain's Got Talent judge was placed in intensive care after losing several pints of blood while giving birth to her new daughter Hollie on January 22.

The new mum was eventually reunited with her baby girl three days after the birth and the two have now returned to the family home with Amanda's husband Chris Hughes and her first daughter, six-year-old Alexa.

A rep for the star said: 'We are delighted to say that Amanda is now home. She and Chris would like to thank everyone who was involved in her care for their amazing skill and dedication, and also to thank everyone who sent such kind thoughts and wishes during this time.

'She is of course thrilled to be home with her family - Hollie is absolutely beautiful and Amanda and Chris are completely besotted with their two girls.'

Let the sleepless nights begin!
