In a video shared on Instagram by , Gemma Lilly, 31, and Charlotte Reddington, 32, from Essex, they reveal how the Britain’s Got Talent judge has given them exclusive access to her beautiful Petersham abode.
The footage shows inside Amanda’s vast walk-in wardrobe, filled with designer shoes including Louboutins and Jimmy Choos, and outfits including the dazzling orange £1,232 Alex Perry number she wore to the BGT auditions in Manchester in January.
The footage shows the stylists – who specialise in wardrobe detoxes costing from £250 to more than £1,000 – starting in the"‘organised chaos" of the huge playroom belonging to Amanda and husband Chris Hughes’ two daughters Lexi, 12, and Hollie, six.
There are piles of toys all across the floor – in-keeping with Amanda’s ethos that she likes her house to look lived in and "not like a show home".

As well as at least 50 Barbie and Ken dolls, there is a £200 Barbie Dreamhouse, a £100 Barbie plan, as well as soft toys and books on the floor to arrange – including two, The Ice Monster and Geronimo, by Amanda’s fellow BGT judge David Walliams.
Little Hollie is even pictured helping the stylists – and said after it was finished: "Mummy, I love my playroom I can see all my Barbies!"
Charlotte says in the footage: "We are starting in the kids’ toy room this morning and then we are going to work our way around the rest of the house. We can’t wait to show you!"

Gemma adds: "We are going to create a nice crafts area for her daughter, we are going to do a boards games section and just keep everything really categorised, easy to reach and easy to find.
"This is organised chaos don’t worry. It gets super messy before it gets super tidy. This is going to become the Barbie corner and there’s a lot of Barbies! It’s so cute."
In the next clip, fans are given a glimpse into Amanda’s huge walk-in wardrobe, and her collection of designer clothes, jewellery and shoes, including Yves Saint Laurent heels, Louboutins and £400 Jimmy Choos.

The footwear, from strappy sandals to towering heels, is arranged over seven shelves and colour coordinated – from beiges and whites at the bottom, to orange black and gold.
The Style Sisters also sort Amanda’s jewellery collection – and viewers can see boxes emblazoned with celebrity favourite Monica Vinader.
Gemma says: "The room is organised, we are actually really impressed with the shoe coordination.
"We are now going through all the jewellery and putting it into these drawers, so watch this space."
The friends then make their way on to Amanda’s clothes wardrobes, which are brimming with dresses and outfits of every colour and in every length.

Amanda has previously revealed how Chris converted their fourth bedroom into a walk-in wardrobe for her with a dressing table mirror by Strachan Furniture that rises up at the press of a button, telling House Beautiful: "It’s very camp and I just love it."
The TV star’s sartorial choices on BGT are often a talking point of the ITV1 shows – with the racy Julian Macdonald gown she wore during the BGT final in 2017 attracting 663 Ofcom complaints.
In the Style Sisters footage, fans can see the incredible £1,800 yellow satin dress by Alexis Mabille Amanda wore on the red carpet in January to film the first auditions for this year’s BGT tucked away in her wardrobe.
And designer outfits and high street brands are mixed – in one shot, an H&M label is still on one of the items.
The Style Sisters put all the outfits onto slimline hangers before colour coordinating them.
Charlotte says: "Changing hangers can make a real big difference in your wardrobe … you just get so much more in, it looks neater than when all the hangers are different levels and different thicknesses."
Fans are then given a flash of what seems to be Lexi and Hollie’s wardrobe – brimming with hundreds of very colourful outfits.

The footage then finishes with Charlotte and Gemma organising the girls’ hairband and hairclips.
The Style Sisters were at the star’s house for two full days – finishing this morning at 2am.
Mid-way through, Amanda arrived home and surprised Gemma and Charlotte by bringing them a ‘sip’ of rose wine.
In exclusive footage, she says: "I thought two fingers worth of Rose with a bit of ice to celebrate would be okay! Chin Chin! Oh my god, it's looking so good in here! Well done girls."
Taking to Instagram, the Style Sisters told their 38.8 followers: "We've have had an amazing 2 days transforming the lovely @alexandraburke walk in wardrobes.
"We have detoxed and organised the entire dressing room and en suite from a busy and disorganised layout to a calm, tidy and stylish room that’s a joy to be in."
They added: "In the 26 hours it took us to transform these rooms we have had such a fun few days with Alexandra, we have laughed, shared stories and memories together.
"We are so happy that she loves her lovely dressing room with all her beautiful clothes, shoes and accessories."

Last month, Amanda raved on Instagram about her new kitchen and posted a series of photos to show off her newly renovated home.
The property, which Amanda says the couple fell in love with while on a countryside walk, features an open-plan kitchen dining room that looks out over the garden.
It also features a large dining room, with a huge family dinner table.
On the way she likes her home, Amanda told Bella magazine: "We have two little girls and don't want them feeling that they're treading on eggshells."
