How Amanda Holden overtook Holly Willoughby as highest paid female TV star: Her net worth broken down

Amanda Holden is reportedly the UK’s top-earning female TV star, beating out the likes of Holly Willoughby and Claudia Winkleman.

The 48-year-old has made big bank thanks to her stints as a Britain’s Got Talent judge and as a host on the Heart Radio Breakfast Show, sources claimed.

She’s also cashing in due to her ranges for Marks and Spencer, QVC Interior and Fenn Wright Mason – not to mention the two properties she owns with husband Chris Hughes.

Alright for some, eh?

But don’t worry, Mandy is still as down-to-earth as they come – insiders insisted she won’t let her gargantuan bank balance ‘go to her head’.

‘Amanda’s earning potential has gone through the roof the last few years. She’s raking it in from various angles and is sitting very pretty right now,’ a source told The Sun.

‘She’s hot property and ITV’s golden girl.’

The insider added that she ‘couldn’t believe it’ when she heard the rumoured news, adding: ‘She is determined not to let her growing bank balance go to her head.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Amanda’s rep for comment.

Holden is reportedly raking in around £1 million for her BGT gig – having been a regular on the panel since its inception in 2007 – and will also join the show for the upcoming BGT: The Champions later this month.

She is also reportedly earning £1.5 million as a Heart Radio DJ and apparently has a £1 million record deal with Virgin EMI in the works after a clip of her singing went viral.

Meanwhile, her ranges for Marks & Spencer, Fenn Wright Mason and QVC Interior are worth £500,000 each, according to The Sun.

No matter how much Amanda earns, she’ll still be the woman who once got so drunk she pooed herself, and for that – we will always love her.
