Amanda Holden revealed today that her sister, Debbie, was trapped on Mount Everest following the earthquake in Nepal on Saturday.
The judge from
Britain's Got Talent told
This Morning: “My sister is climbing Mount Everest and very luckily she is at a place that is the last camp before you get to Base Camp 1 on the south side.
“There were only four of them left at that camp because my sister was suffering so badly from altitude sickness she didn’t walk up to Base Camp – which actually, potentially, might have saved her life.”
At least 17 people are believed to have died on the mountain.
Holden revealed that her sister had sent her family a text to say she was safe.
Over 3,700 people are dead following the 7.9 magnitude earthquake.
