Amanda Holden, 54, displayed animated enthusiasm from the stands as her beloved Everton secured a 2-1 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage Stadium in London on Saturday.
Passionate Support for Everton
The presenter cheered loudly for the Liverpool-based club, a team she has supported lifelong. Everton fans, including Holden, celebrated the hard-fought win. She has attended numerous matches before and often sports the club’s shirt.
Glamorous Matchday Look
Holden turned heads in a sharp grey pinstriped three-piece suit featuring a waistcoat, double-breasted blazer, and matching trousers. She draped a black wool coat over her shoulders, styled her hair in soft curls, and completed the outfit with oversized sunglasses.
Cotswolds Home Value Surge
Recently, Holden expressed gratitude to A-list celebrities for boosting property values in the Cotswolds, where she owns a second home. The area, once known for its peaceful villages and hills, now attracts stars like David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Simon Cowell, and Ellen DeGeneres, with reports of Beyoncé and Jay-Z also buying properties there.
A basic three-bedroom house in the OX7 postcode now sells for at least £2.5 million. In an interview, Holden commented on the influx: “I think it’s great for house prices. I’ve been there nearly 20 years — my grandparents were from that area.”
She noted her early investment predates many newcomers, including the Beckhams and Beyoncé, turning a weekend retreat into a smart financial move. Addressing complaints from Jeremy Clarkson, star of Clarkson’s Farm near Chipping Norton, Holden stated: “If Clarkson moans about it, he can’t moan about me because I’m technically Cotswolds family.”
Holden divides her time between a lavish Surrey home with husband Chris Hughes and daughters Lexi and Hollie, and their Chipping Norton property. The latter sits near Simon Cowell’s £8 million farmhouse, purchased in 2021 on eight acres. Their daughter Hollie shares a close friendship with Cowell’s son Eric, leading to frequent visits.
