Amanda Holden discharged from hospital after birth scare Ms Griffin said: "We are delighted to say that Amanda is now home. She and Chris would like to thank everyone who was involved in her care for their amazing skill and dedication, and also to thank everyone who sent such kind thoughts and wishes during this time. She is, of course, thrilled to be home with her family - Hollie is absolutely beautiful and Amanda and Chris are completely besotted with their two girls. Hollie weighed in at just over 6lb and was said to be healthy. The couple already had one daughter, Lexi. Holden, 40, was in a critical condition following the birth, but was "stable" by Wednesday, when news of her medical condition and the new arrival was announced. The TV favourite, who has been married to Hughes since 2008, was in good health throughout the pregnancy until she went into hospital last week. She has had previous difficulties. She lost a child last year, seven months into a pregnancy, and in 2010 she suffered a miscarriage. And there was drama just days after Holden went public about her latest pregnancy when she was involved in a collision with a lorry which left her car a write-off. The ordeal forced her to miss some performances of Shrek The Musical, in which she was starring at the time, and she left the production shortly afterwards. Holden - previously married to comic actor Les Dennis - missed auditions for Britain's Got Talent last week. Show colleagues have sent best wishes. Fellow judge Alesha Dixon said: "I've sent her a message of support and I wish her a speedy recovery. I love Amanda to bits - I'm missing my partner in crime and can't wait for her to come back.
