Amanda Holden is undoubtedly one of Britain’s best loved entertainers - an Olivier Award nominated actress, singer, radio presenter on Heart Breakfast, author and judge on the UK’s biggest television show Britain’s Got Talent. 
 Now Amanda returns to her first love, singing, to finally release her debut album Songs From My Heart on Friday 2nd October via Universal Records; a powerful celebration of songs from the world of musical theatre that have each won a place in her heart over the years. 
 The album, showcasing Amanda’s impeccable vocal talents, is packed with beloved favourites including ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ (Les Miserables), ‘Not While I’m Around’ (Sweeney Todd), ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’ (Evita), ‘I Know Him So Well’ with Sheridan Smith (Chess) and the heartbreaking single ‘With You’ (Ghost). 
 Of her debut album, Amanda says; 
 “People think they know who I am because they see me being loud and outrageous on the television or radio. That is a part of me but really I’m all about my family. This album is all the songs I’ve loved in my life, sung for the people who mean the most to me. It’s a very emotional album that everyone can relate to. I had a tape recorder as a little girl and would sing into it dreaming of this moment. There is a story behind every song on the album, celebrating life, love and loss - the darkest and happiest moments in my life so far. It is literally my heart laid bare.”
