Amanda Holden has released a statement this evening, hitting back at criticism over a photo posted to her Twitter account earlier today. The Britain's Got Talent star was slammed by parents earlier today after uploading a photo of nine-year-old daughter Lexi, claiming that she was dressed as Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman for her school's 90s themed fancy dress day. The picture was removed minutes later following a deluge of comments saying that choosing the character, who works as a prostitute at the beginning of the movie, was "totally inappropriate" for a child. Holden has now responded by claiming that Lexi was actually dressed as Cindy Crawford and blamed her husband Chris for posting the image online. "The truth is that Lexi went to school as Cindy Crawford for her school '90s Day - not Julia Roberts - as anyone who heard me yesterday at BGT - and indeed the teachers at Lexi's school - will confirm. However, my husband thought she looked more like Julia Roberts, without any thought to any interpretation. Although given that she is a nine-year-old girl, it seems completely unbelievable and disturbing that anyone could or would put such an interpretation on it," she said. "Julia Roberts is one of the most beautiful and iconic women in the world and so, as a a proud father, he wanted to post the similarity on his own private Facebook account. He hit the wrong button and posted it on my Twitter account but removed it as soon as he realised. The first I knew about it as I was contacted by the media whilst filming today. Needless to say, my husband is mortified."
