Is it me or is Amanda Holden a total narcissist? (I know that word gets thrown around a lot on here but I think she absolutely is one). What kind of mother wants to be centre of attention at her DD’s 18th Birthday bash? Confused
Poor Lexi.

So aibu?

Amanda Holden stuns in sequin co-ord at daughter Lexi's 18th birthday

The radio presenter, 52, pulled out all the stops to celebrate her eldest child's milestone birthday.

She thinks the absolute world of herself!

Pissed

KatyPerryMenopause · 21/01/2024 14:40

Do you work for the Mail?! [keep seeing links]
She was shimmying/wall-shagging to Murder on the Dancefloor.
That in itself is not unreasonable. Her daughter's friends were probably clapping/encouraging/laughing/squirming or wincing.
It's just a story nicked from her insta on a slow news day.
Whether she needs to do an instastory or what have you is another thing entirely.

Yes but Lexi is even more beautiful than her mum. Amanda will hate that.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 21/01/2024 14:41

Of course she was !

and as for all this ' I don't want my daughter to appear on Love island ' of course she does ! and the more she goes on about it the more she knows the daughter will be asked.

Does the 'it's all about me' mother really really want the general public watch her daughter having sex ( we know what they are doing under the sheets )

On a different subject, I am really surprised she has stuck to the radio show for so long.

MorrisZapp · 21/01/2024 14:43

Oh calm down. She got the crowd going then handed the mic to her daughter. Any mother in her 50s who doesn't get pissed and dance at every (dwindling) opportunity can go hang out with the granite faced husbands.

LizzieSiddal · 21/01/2024 14:43

I don’t like AH very much but surely she’s allowed to have a dance at her own DD’s party?

egowise · 21/01/2024 14:43

Woman dares enjoy herself shocker!

Bigminnie1 · 21/01/2024 14:43

She looks like she's a bit pissed and having a great time with her daughter and friends.

Fuckitydoodah · 21/01/2024 14:43

I find Amanda holden extremely irritating and would be very happy to see/hear a lot less of her.

BubbleBubbleBubbleBubblePop · 21/01/2024 14:44

I'd have been absolutely mortified at 18 if my mother acted like that.

ThatIsOutrageous · 21/01/2024 14:44

I think I would’ve died of embarrassment if my mum had come to my 18th Birthday party, let alone made herself centre of attention like it was her 18th.

And yes her DD’s are much prettier than her, bet she hates that!

Both mine have had 18th birthday parties in the last couple of years, and neither time did I attend! I'm trying to imagine their faces if I started shimmying across the dancefloor. Almost tempted to do it to find out what would happen...

LauderSyme · 21/01/2024 14:46

OP you are not coming across as a nice person here at all.

MintyCedric · 21/01/2024 14:47

I’m not a huge fan of her but she looks like a proud mum who’s a bit pissed and larking about at her daughter’s 18th.

So what?

edissa · 21/01/2024 14:48

And yes her DD’s are much prettier than her, bet she hates that!*

I disagree. I think Amanda is absolutely stunning and I hope I look that good at 52! I'm only 38 and she looks better than I do 😂

3luckystars · 21/01/2024 14:49

I’m glad she enjoyed herself, it’s a party. Everyone looked to be having fun!

LittleMonks11 · 21/01/2024 14:49

My DD is 12 and hates being seen out with me. Maybe when she's 18 I'll no longer be persona non grata. I'll get me sequinned catsuit ready!

That’s ok. I did debate whether to post this in chat but thought I’d risk it here 😆

Don't see the issues, unless AH gets on your t**ts generally.

dauphinose · 21/01/2024 14:50

I'm not a fan of AH if she was a bar of chocolate she'd eat herself.

Mamette · 21/01/2024 14:51

It’s only a few minutes out of the party. Presumably she wasn’t doing this the whole time.

unnecessary

but yes, clearly she is an astonishing attention seeker, which given her job - is probably a rather useful trait

i imagine her daughters put up with it because they know they wouldn’t lead the lives they do without her

Missingmyusername · 21/01/2024 14:54

I doubt she stayed there, just popped in for an hour and was egged on🤷🏼‍♀️ AH looks good and her daughter is gorgeous. Who cares- the press are there so….. not like it’s a private party.
