Amanda Holden is thankfully recovering from her latest health scare and was yesterday allowed to return home from hospital.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge had been rushed to her obstetrics unit last Sunday, and went on to give birth to her second daughter, Hollie Rose. However the birth was a traumatic one and resulted in the actress spending three days in critical condition, reliant on blood transfusions and constant monitoring.

Yesterday afternoon doctors judged the star to be well enough for discharge and insiders say the new mum was elated to return to her family home and six year old daughter Lexi and claimed that she now feels her ‘life is complete.’

A close friend of Amanda told The Mirror:

“Despite the trauma she has been through she has never been happier and feels now her life, and her family is complete.

“It has been a tough couple of weeks but Amanda is looking forward to some quality time with the family.”

Amanda’s agent Alison Griffin released a statement saying:

“We are delighted 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 thank everyone who sent kind thoughts and wishes.

“She is thrilled to be home with her family – Hollie is absolutely beautiful and Amanda and Chris are besotted with their girls.”

Amanda will now take some recuperation time before returning to Britain’s Got Talent and next week, auditions for the ITV show will go on in London without her.

It has been rumoured that Simon Cowell will choose a female star as a stand in for the blonde beauty and front runners for the role are said to be Myleene Klass and Samantha Womack.

However, the former Eastenders actress has said that while she was in talks with show bosses about taking a seat on the panel, before Alesha Dixon was hired, she will not be guest judging on the show….guess that just leaves Myleene then!
