Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden on Alesha Dixon friendship
In February 2011, Amanda lost her son, Theo, seven months into her pregnancy. She had to deliver him via Caesarean section at West Middlesex Hospital in Isleworth.
The following year, Amanda’s heart stopped for 40 seconds during her birth to daughter Hollie. She also had a hemorrhage, lost a huge amount of blood, and was “moments from death”.
Speaking to The Mirror last month, Amanda opened up about how Alesha has been there when she really needed her.
“I lost a baby during the show, I was hospitalised. There’s been those moments where you need a female next to you. Because with the best will in the world, you’ve got the likes of Simon, a wonderful man and sympathetic, but you just want that girl next to you who knows and understands why you might need a chocolate bar, an aspirin or a trip to the toilet,” she said.
“You just need that with anybody you work with, you always have that friend in the office or wherever you work that knows without you having to say anything.”
