She told the Radio Times of Lexi’s contract: “Yes, she’s related to me, but that’s nothing to do with me.

“The word ‘nepo’ can be thrown around forever, but it’s unfair it’s been used in showbiz.

“When I was young, I got a job in a fruit and veg shop as my mum knew the guy.

“If you know someone can help your child get in somewhere, you’ll do whatever.”

Amanda has two children with her showbiz agent husband, .

Their youngest is 13-year-old Hollie, while Lexi completed her A-levels last year and is now at university.

Amanda pointed out helping a child get their foot in the door did not necessarily ensure success.

She said: “They have to have talent and backbone, and work to succeed.

“I’m proud of my daughter, doing stuff for Storm as well as two normal jobs while at uni.

“She’s not going to come out with a debt — that’s amazing.”
