Model Lexi Hughes joined her mother Amanda Holden and television personality Sam Faiers on a luxury brand trip to the Greek island of Crete.

The 20-year-old model glammed up in a pink strapless dress alongside Heart FM presenter Amanda, 55, who chose a low-cut burgundy dress for their evening outing in celebration of Sam's skincare brand Revive Collagen.

The mother and daughter duo were part of a girls' getaway on the Mediterranean island, where they shared several photographs from their travels and evening events.

During a sunset dinner hosted by Sam, Lexi swapped her initial outfit for a white sheer top paired with a satin skirt. Amanda took style inspiration from her daughter, wearing a pale pink satin dress for the occasion.

Sam cut a glamorous figure at the celebration in a sheer purple gown. She was joined at the event by friends including fashion influencer Lorna Luxe and television presenter AJ Odudu.

Lexi, has recently stepped into the industry, but Amanda has argued that all parents would want their children to succeed in any field of their choosing

Sam, a former star of the reality television series The Only Way Is Essex, launched her collagen business in 2020. The company has since expanded across the UK market, with its product range stocked in Boots stores and distributed internationally. Amanda serves as an official ambassador for the brand.

Lexi's appearance on the brand trip comes as she builds her career in fashion. The young model signed with Storm Management, a major London agency, and made her catwalk debut during London Fashion Week in 2024.

In addition to evening looks, Lexi shared holiday photographs posing poolside in a mint green bikini. The two-piece displayed her sun-kissed glow while she wore her long blonde hair loose without makeup. In a second photograph, she showed off her tan lines by slightly pulling down her bikini bottoms.

Amanda Holden defends daughter against nepo baby label

As Lexi establishes herself in modeling, Amanda has spoken out in defense of children of celebrities entering competitive industries, arguing that parents in every profession naturally want to support their children.

Addressing the ongoing debate surrounding celebrity offspring and so-called nepo babies in an interview with the Daily Mail, Amanda rejected the idea that family background guarantees professional success.

"Being someone's kid is not going to secure work, make a living for you and longevity in whatever career," Amanda told the Daily Mail. "It may get you a foot in the door, but then you're on your own, so I think it's unfair to sort of single out showbusiness or the music industry, because they're the worst businesses to be in!"

The radio host explained that people in all sectors rely on personal network connections. She noted that she regularly helps young people gain work experience at Global Radio, where she hosts the Heart Breakfast show.

"At Global, this is the week where the kids come in to make the tea and coffee and see how it all works. Everyone has such tenuous connections and it's brilliant, we welcome them with open arms," Amanda said.

Amanda revealed that her youngest daughter Hollie will participate in the radio station's placement program next year, adding that she extends assistance to friends' children as well as her own family.

"Hollie is going to be doing this next year, but any kid that I know - if they needed a hand, the door is open," Amanda explained. "If I can help anyone, I'll do it. It's not just my own kids, it's my friends' kids."

Amanda concluded by criticizing the label itself, pointing out that having famous parents can bring added scrutiny. "I just hate the term nepo baby, because it's up to them to make it on their own," she said. "And it's often worse having a famous parent, it's not often a good thing."
