Amanda Holden dedicates heartfelt song on debut album to stillborn son Theo
[ad_1]
Emotional Amanda Holden has dedicated a song on her new album to her son Theo who was stillborn – as she opened up about how she “fell apart” following his death.
The star is releasing her first ever album next month as she targets the charts, with one song even featuring Sheridan Smith on one of the tracks.
Her first single – With You – is out this weekend and is about Theo, who died in 2011.
She said: “The last lines of this song are ‘You took my life with you, Took my world with you’ and so this is for Theo, our baby who was born sleeping and for Chris who stayed strong when I fell apart.

“It was Chris who told me he always thought of Theo when he heard this song which floored me so it’s also his song for Theo.
“It’s very emotional to sing this song but I think you get chosen for experiences like that only if you are strong enough to deal with it. And it changes you.
“It is also Simon Cowell ’s favourite song.”

The idea to create an album came about after Amanda and her daughters recorded Tightrope (from The Greatest Showman) for her husband, Chris, to mark their 10th wedding anniversary in 2018.
This lead to a record label bidding war and she signed with Universal.
The first glimpse of Amanda’s music arrived in May this year, with her debut single Over the Rainbow hitting #1 on the iTunes chart.

The song helped to raise vital funds during the Covid-19 crisis, with all proceeds being donated to NHS Charities Together.
She also kept the nation’s spirits up over the course of lockdown, with a variety of challenges on social media platform TikTok, frequently letting her hair down and having fabulous fun with her two daughters Lexi, 14 and Hollie, eight.
*Songs From My Heart is out on 2nd October. First single With You is out today.
