However, Amanda and Chris are said to be insistent their eldest daughter finishes her studies before embarking on a fashion career. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Amanda was adamant she complete her studies first. The family is excited and proud.’ 

Amanda has previously spoken of her heartache after she and Chris tragically lost their baby son Theo when he was stillborn at seven months.

In an interview with MailOnline last year, she said: ‘I’ve talked about it often, but I truly believe my stillbirth, my little boy, picked me. Because he wasn’t destined to come to earth.

‘I think you can get through most things if you’ve got a rock solid marriage and family around you. 

‘Someone said to us, “Hold on to each other because this is going to be a bumpy ride” basically. It was an understatement.’

Amanda said both she and Chris were diagnosed with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) in the wake of the tragedy, and sought therapy to deal with the loss of their child.

She told The Sun: ‘After we first lost him, Chris and I were diagnosed with PTSD so we went and had some therapy about that, as anyone would. 

‘I just felt like everything was my fault, and I felt so responsible – what did I do wrong?’ There is not a day that goes by when I don’t think about Theo, especially when a new school year begins.’
