Amanda received comments of support and love from several friends, including co-host Ashley Roberts, Vicky Pattison, Mario Falcone, and Myleene Klass – who recently spoke out about her own experiences losing children.
Amanda was seven months pregnant with Theo when a routine scan revealed his heart had stopped.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge and her husband Chris Hughes then made the devastating decision to have a caesarean following Theo’s passing.

During an appearance on Loose Women last year, Amanda spoke about how she came to terms with her loss and the advice she would give people in a similar situation to her.
Amanda said: ‘It’s so difficult because everyone reacts in different ways – because my loss was a baby that never made it to earth I had to find a spiritual way around it.’
‘I had to create a scenario in my head that my baby chose me in my head but he was never meant to come down.

She continued: ‘I was blessed with my daughter Hollie who came soon after.
‘It’s a cliche but you can only take one day at a time – it’s what you can learn from it, gather everyone around you. I hung on very tight to Chris and my family.’
