Amanda Holden was today discharged from hospital after her life-threatening childbirth ordeal.

The Britain's Got Talent judge was said to be "thrilled" to be back at her house in south-west London with new daughter Hollie.

Holden, 40, was in intensive care for several days following the birth eight days ago. She is believed to have needed a blood transfusion after a Caesarean.

The TV star and her husband Chris Hughes today thanked medical staff for their "amazing skill and dedication".

Her return home was confirmed by her spokeswoman, Alison Griffin.

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."
