Amanda Holden suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction while exiting an after-party for the West End launch of new play Stepping Out on Tuesday evening And she appeared to be aware that that something was amiss while leaving the venue with her lookalike 11-year-old daughter Alexa, as she covered one of her breasts with her hand.
