Amanda Holden quits Wild at Heart
 

Wild at Heart star Amanda Holden is quitting the the hit ITV1 series for family reasons - and is hoping for a gory exit.

Amanda told the Daily Mirror that with her daughter now one she thinks it's unfair to spend so much time filming on the other side of the world.

"Lexi is growing fast," she said. "It's easy to take a baby out, it's more tricky with an older child. Toddlers aren't that easy."

Amanda, 36, also has an idea of how she wants to be written out. She said: "I want to be killed and eaten by a lion, that would be my dream exit!"

She will bow out during the third series, which starts filming in June.

The actress has helped pull in 10 million viewers for the Sunday night drama. Her next TV role will be as panellist on Britain's Got Talent, alongside Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan.
