Amanda Holden's daughter is now a model

Amanda is whinging saying that no-one should call her a nepo baby, she earned her modelling contract by herself

The kid is a nepo baby sorry 😭😭😭 - but what's so wrong with that?!

Just own it. Amanda bringing attention to it has just made it worse imo

Yanbu - the kid is a nepo baby
Yabu - the kid isnt a nepo baby and achieved this contract all by herself, no-one should ever call her a nepo baby ever!

I do wonder if the she’s not a nepo baby schtick is just to make everyone Google who she is and raise her profile. Good looking girl, having a famous mum will help. Amanda Holden’s face though, fucking hell, looks ok in pictures but its just so weirdly filled it’s hard to watch her talk.

I mean, both can be true.

To paraphrase Arthur Ransome (Swallows and Amazons), 'if not duffers, won't drown'.

That is, of course having Amanda as her mum helped to get her foot in the door. Of course it did! But, if she is not a duffer, she will do well through her own talent. If she is purely nepo with no talent, she will soon drown.

(cf. Brooklyn Beckham who has had all the opportunities, but a duffer of a career to date.)
