Amanda Holden makes rare appearance with her lookalike younger sister Debbie
AMANDA Holden made a rare appearance with her lookalike younger sister Debbie on Wednesday as they walked arm in arm through Leicester Square in London.
The pair were snapped leaveing the Heart Radio studios, where Amanda, 48, presents the breakfast show alongside Jamie Theakston.
The sisters are very close after a difficult childhood growing up with their father Frank who was a heavy drinker.
There is just a one year ago gap between the two.
Debbie is known for her love of adventure, and works around the globe and at various festivals.
However she has been living in the UK in recent weeks, sharing pictures on social media of her at Amanda’s office.
“#earlystart #funmorning #familyoffice #busydayahead,” she captioned a selfie of the pair together in the Heart studios in mid-November.
She took part in Global’s Make Some Noise campaign in September, skydiving out of a plane with Amanda and their mum, Judy, 70.
Debbie also joined the family as they watched Amanda turn on the Regent St Christmas lights, and joined in the celebrations of they celebrated Judy’s recent birthday.
In 2015 Amanda was left shaken when she revealed live on TV that Debbie was nearly caught in an avalanche that hit Mount Everest.
The base camp at the mountain was hit by an avalanche triggered by an earthquake.
It caused the deaths of 18 climbers and dozens more were injured on the mountain.
4,100 people were killed by the quake in total.
Debbie had not yet made it to the base camp due to altitude sickness.
The explorer was in a small group of four on the side of the mountain.
“I’m still quite numb,” Amanda said on This Morning as she revealed Debbie had been in touch.
“Very luckily she was suffering from altitude sickness so she didn’t go up to base camp. That may have saved her life.”
