Amanda Holden is in 'absolute agony' as she rushes to the bedside of her beloved sister who is fighting for her life in intensive care after being seriously injured in a horrific car smash

Debbie Holden, 44, pictured centre left with her talent show judge sister Amanda, is in a 'critical but stable' condition at a hospital in Cornwall. 


She was caught up in a horror car crash on Thursday morning, prompting her TV star sibling to dash down from London to be by her bedside in intensive care. Amanda held a bedside vigil alongside her diving instructor sibling after attending the birthday bash of Simon Cowell the evening before. The two sisters have reportedly become incredibly close in adulthood, after living through a strained relationship with their father Frank (pictured inset below with daughters Amanda, left, and Debbie, right). They were also close friends as children, with Amanda seen right at 3 years old holding her sister, 2, in Hampshire, 1974.
