Amanda Holden to return to work on Mother's Day

Amanda Holden is to return to work on Mother's Day (03.04.11).

The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge - who tragically lost her second child with husband Chris Hughes last month when she was six months into her pregnancy - has been asked to return to the ITV1 show so producers can get new footage of the 40-year-old star without her baby bump.

However, with the series being pushed to an increasingly tight schedule, Mothering Sunday is the only day available for filming, but Amanda is determined not to let the show down.

An insider explained: "Knowing Amanda, she'll lever let the show down. It will also give fans the chance to boost her."

Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the 'Britain's Got Talent' judge confirmed: "She'll be there."

The blonde beauty is also said to be buoyed on by the fact that fellow judge Simon Cowell - who has been in the US concentrating on the launch of the Stateside 'X Factor' - will be joining her for the live finals of the competition.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Amanda's happy about that. They're close, he can hold her hand if she has a wobble."

Amanda - who also has a five-year-old daughter Lexi with Chris - made her first public appearance last weekend since her tragic loss six weeks ago at the Olivier Awards.

'Britain's Got Talent' bosses are now said to be carefully editing earlier footage of the audition stage of the show to ensure any shots of the pregnant star are cut out.
