The Britain's Got Talent judge told MailOnline: "They're very lovely and nurturing and it will be a soft, slow thing and she won't do anything until she's 18 but they want her and that's what she wants to do.

"I have to say there was quite a number of them and there's such a different mindset to how you might think modelling agencies look after the young, but they are very nurturing and very caring, all of them.

"She has made the decision to sign with them and Chris and I support her, and we are very protective but they're very keen."

Holden, 51, joked that she will be keeping a close eye on her daughter's new career in the style of legendary "momager" Kris Jenner who masterminded her own daughters' multi-million pound careers.

She told MailOnline, "I hope I am! If I have an ounce of the business acumen that Kris has then yes."

But she's vowed to make sure "bright" Lexi continues with her studies and sets her sight on university as well as a modelling career.

She's since gone on to have a multi-faceted career as an actress, West End star, TV judge and radio host.
