Amanda Holden sports striking head-to-toe red ensemble as she leaves Heart FM radio – after emotional reunion with cancer free Jamie Theakston

Amanda Holden sported a striking head-to-toe red ensemble as she departed Heart FM radio studios on Tuesday morning.

The TV and radio host, 53, turned heads in her vibrant knitted dress and structured coat, teamed with matching heeled boots.

Former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts strutted out the studios in a chic grey suit and glamorous white coat.

The blonde beauties couldn’t wipe the smile off their faces as they left the building – following her emotional reunion with co-host Jamie Theakston.

Jamie returned as host after four months away from the radio after he was declared cancer free. 

Jamie announced he had been diagnosed with stage one laryngeal cancer in October 2024, after listeners had noticed there was something not quite right with his voice.

Laryngeal cancer is a type of cancer that affects the larynx (voice box).

After undergoing three life-changing surgeries and being told he had ‘a one in six chance he might not be able to talk again’, Jamie revealed last week that he was free from the disease and would be back on the radio full-time.

As he began work on Monday morning with his co-host Amanda, Jamie said: ‘Thanks to everyone for making this morning feel very, very special. Thanks for your (the listeners’) messages as well.’

Amanda then added: ‘We are so happy to welcome him back!’

To which Jamie said back: ‘Four months I have waited for this moment!’ as Amanda said: ‘It feels longer it feels more like five months.’

Amanda shared a collection of moments from her daughter’s 19th birthday party on Instagram last week, including a pink ‘drunk Barbie’ cake.

She celebrated Lexi Hughes’s big day in a restaurant in Exeter with her model daughter’s friends.

The post showed the teenager wearing a black top and posing next to her custom-made birthday cake which is laid out on a table full of drinks.

The lavish treat was described by Amanda in a separate story as a ‘drunk Barbie cake’ and showed the doll doing the splits atop a pink layer of icing with candles reading ’19’ on it.

The large cake was covered in various fondant models, which depicted bottles of famous tequila brands.

Amanda added the caption: ‘Our gorgeous girl turns 19 today!! Lexi we love you so much. Super proud of you and all the choices you are making. Our shy, wise, funny talented girl. Love Mummy Daddy and Hollie xx Have the happiest day.’

The Heart FM presenter shared a separate story showing the cake in more detail and Lexi handing out plates for her pals to have a portion. 

And another saw Amanda leading a rendition of ‘Happy birthday to you’, while a shy Lexi takes in the adulation of her friends.

The teenager appeared to debut her new boyfriend last month as she posted a very cosy snap with him on New Year’s Eve.

Lexi, who is the Britain’s Got Talent judge’s eldest child, rang in the New Year with her mother, father Chris and younger sister Hollie in Scotland.

Amanda shared snaps of the family posing in front of a Christmas tree along with one of Lexi with her arms around a boy dressed in a black blazer and kilt.

Lexi wowed in a glamorous red satin strappy gown which she teamed with a matching glittering handbag. 

It came after Amanda proudly revealed Lexi pᴀssed her A-Levels, landing her a spot at her first choice of university.

She wrote on Instagram: ‘Congratulations to our @lexi.hughes__ we couldn’t be prouder. All the grades and 1st choice uni what a bl**dy relief.’

The former Wild At Heart actress – who has been married to Chris Hughes since 2008 and also has Hollie, 12, with him – also shared a pH๏τo of an emotional Lexi in front of a cake that read ‘Lexi congratulations’ and ‘OMG I did it!’.

Last year, Lexi was suddenly rushed to hospital after contracting E.coli.

While discussing the warning signs to look out for amid the latest outbreak, Amanda revealed to The Sun that her daughter Lexi had been suffering from bloating and stomach cramps.

She said: ‘For about three weeks, Lexi had been complaining of bloating and stomach cramps. She was not happy at all and in quite a lot of pain with her tummy.

‘It was around the time of revision and her A-levels, so I was just putting this down to exam stress.’

However, Amanda admitted that after taking her daughter to her GP, who insisted on her doing some blood and stool samples, the results came back as a bacterial infection.

The star then revealed that while she was filming in Spain, she began to get calls from various government officials asking her to fill out several forms about where her daughter might have eaten and what kind of food they had stored in their home.

Stating that the cultures come back, Amanda revealed that Lexi has VTEC E. coli, which is a very harmful strain of bacteria that’s very rare in humans.
