Amanda Holden has stunned fans as she was seen hitting the ‘yellow brick road’ with her ‘mini me’ daughter.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge is often seen hitting red carpets with her eldest daughter, model Lexi Hughes, but this time, it was her youngest child, Hollie’s turn to join her mum.
The pair were seen attending the European premiere of the musical movie Wicked: For Good on Monday night (November 10) ahead of its cinema release later this month.
Two-part film adaptation Wicked is based on the Broadway smash which scored Idina Menzel a Tony Award for best leading actress in a musical for her role as Elphaba in 2004.
The sequel picks up where the first film left off, covering the years after green witch Elphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo, parted ways with her friend, Glinda, portrayed by US pop star Ariana Grande.
The premiere, held at Cineworld in Leicester Square, was decorated with pink and white flowers – and the red carpet swapped out for a yellow brick road.
As well as the two leading ladies, also among the attendees was US actor Jeff Goldblum, who plays the Wizard in the film, and Jonathan Bailey, who portrays Prince Fyrio.
Amanda was seen among the celebrity guests and appeared to be channelling her inner Glinda in a silky pink floor-length gown, while Hollie replicated her mum’s look with a similar dress, this time in Elphaba green.
Following the event, the Heart Radio star took to Instagram with videos and pictures that gave insight into their time at the event – from slipping into their stunning looks for the evening, to posing for the cameras as the premiere got underway.
Captioning the post, Amanda wrote: “Privileged to have seen @wickedmovie with my beautiful girl Hollie #HRH. Swipe to end to see how fast she’s grown up! The very last picture is us at the Barbie premiere- only two years ago.”
And she was quickly flooded with comments. Loose Women star Ruth Langsford said: “Beauties!” Actress Lucy-Jo Hudson said: “Just wow.” Piers Morgan replied: “Lovely pics.”

CURTIS Pritchard is eyeing up a sensational return to the Love Island villa after a string of failed reality TV relationships.
The professional dancer, 29, reckons it’s “third time lucky” after first appearing on the hit ITV2 programme back in 2019.
“Curtis has had some secret meetings with Love Island bosses about returning for another All Stars stint in January,” a source told The Sun.
“He knows some people will scoff about this being his third time in the villa, but he thinks it could be third time lucky.”
Curtis only recently split up with fellow All Stars contestant Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu after the show aired earlier this year.
The insider added: “Him and Ekin-Su didn’t work out, but they did have a genuine connection, as did him and Maura Higgins the first time around, so he knows it can work.
“Obviously, the final line-up hasn’t been confirmed yet, but don’t be surprised if you see him strutting in there on launch night.”
In response, a spokesperson for ITV told The Sun: “Any names suggested now would simply be speculation.”
Love Island, which reaches an average of 17.5 million viewers a year, has led to a number of relationships for Curtis.
He was first linked to villa stars Amy Hart and Jourdan Riane, before moving on to Maura Higgins and finishing in fourth place in 2019.
Maura and Curtis lasted nine months outside of the villa, with their romance coming crashing down in early 2020.
There were rumours that Curtis had been accused of cheating, something he has always strongly denied.
In March 2020, Maura said: “There is no easy way to get through a break-up and no bad feeling on either side.
“We tried to make it work, but it wasn’t to be, and I wish Curtis nothing but the best for the future.”
She later explained more, saying: “I just felt like I’m 29 and I want somebody that I can see a future with. I’m not getting any younger.
“Curtis and I barely saw each other.
“At the beginning, it was very, very hard because I was so besotted with him, and we never got to see each other.”
At the time, Curtis told The Sun: “It hurt. I wasn’t ready for everyone to know we had split up – I wanted some time.
“It was a shock to see that she had announced it on social media hours later.”
After their split, Maura dated series five Islander Chris Taylor, something Curtis wasn’t best pleased with.
“I feel betrayed by them both — two people I was very close to,” he told The Sun.
“When I saw the pictures, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel hurt. I was upset. How long has this truly been going on for?”
In 2020, Curtis briefly dated dancer Amber Pierson after his split.
The dancer-turned-reality star went on to date Sophie Sheridan in 2021 after meeting while performing together in a pantomime.
They ultimately called it quits in 2024 before Curtis’ second stint in the Love Island villa, where he left with Ekin-Su.
It was in May this year that the two announced they were going their separate ways, but appeared to be amicable.
“Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all the kind messages — it really does mean the world,” he wrote on Instagram.
“It’s true, Ekin and I have decided to go our separate ways.
“Breakups are never easy, but I’ll always be grateful for the laughs, the adventures, and the memories (especially the dance routines).
“She’s an amazing woman and I’ve got nothing but love and respect for her.”
The statement concluded: “I’ll be keeping busy with work, boxing, dancing, and working with the team on FINT. Lots of love, Curtis x”
In June earlier this year, Curtis was spotted getting very close to EastEnders star Jazzy Phoenix, 23, who rose to fame for playing Nadine Keller.
The pair are believed to have met when Curtis was dating Ekin-Su, as they were both on the same tour, named Come What May.
