HAMPSHIRE TV star Amanda Holden has revealed how her heart stopped for 40 seconds during her traumatic birth.
The Britain's Got Talent judge and actress who was brought up in Bishops Waltham spent three days in intensive care after a massive heammorhage which left her 'moments from death.'
Now the 41-year-old has described in detail how her husband Chris Hughes did not know whether she was alive or dead.
Amanda lost '13 to 15 litres of blood' when she was giving birth to her daughter Hollie, who arrived via C section on 23 January.
She went through three transfusions in one day and there was no knowing whether her organs would fail due to rejecting the blood.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, which has been published for the first time today, Amanda, said: "As much blood as they were putting in me was going out. It just would not clot.
"For seven minutes Chris didn't know if I was alive or dead. They literally ran out of my blood group in London. They had them on mopeds coming from everywhere with it."
