Ageless Amanda Holden is something of a national treasure these days, having built her empire through reality TV, radio and acting – with the star this week appearing in a London-based storyline of hit soap Neighbours.
The stunning Britain’s Got Talent judge has now even made the jump to becoming a social media star, after she kept us all entertained throughout lockdown with great content of her life at home – including footage of her mowing the lawn in her plunging wedding dress.
But it isn’t just her talent that has made much of the nation fall in love with her in one way or another, with many regarding her as a sex symbol too.
The Portsmouth-born beauty has driven fans wild in the past with titbits of intimate information about her steamy sex life with music producer husband Chris Hughes – we take a look at some of her most shocking sex confessions, as well as how her affair brought an end to her first marriage.

Despite how adorable the couple we see today are, Holden’s love life has a somewhat controversial backstory, as Amanda cheated on first husband Les Dennis with another man.
She had been married to Les for eight years from 1995 to 2003, but in 2000 cheated with Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey.
The couple got back together, but it didn’t last long. Speaking about the fling with Good Housekeeping, Amanda said: “I don’t believe women have affairs for no reason.
“Women don’t seek sex – we seek love and affirmation. If a woman has an affair, there is normally a problem in their marriage. Neil rightly or wrongly got loads of stick.

“I feel like it was my fault – I was the one who was married.
“I want to change the general perception of him, as he was very caring and very loving.”
The year after the breakup, Amanda met her future husband Chris in LA. By 2004 the pair were dating and by 2008 were married.
But it’s no secret that Chris likes to keep things just that – secret, with the music producer preferring to keep his private life out of the spotlight.
In 2016, Amanda said: “Much to my poor husband’s dismay, I confess everything to some newspaper or other every week by accident or on Twitter, because I am chatty.
“I have no more secrets because of social media and life in general.”
But despite her second husband’s concerns, it hasn’t stopped Amanda from spilling the beans on her marriage’s more intimate details.
Can’t keep his hands off me
Amanda has described their relationship as “primal”, and in 2015 made it clear that the two are rather sexually active. She said: “He can’t keep his hands off me.
“I actually tell him off because I say, ‘I don’t want to have a kiss and a grope while I’m trying to load the dishwasher.’ Chrispy’s up for it any time. Always. So it’s when I decide. Poor chap!”
She has voiced in the past that being playful is good for a relationship, telling the story of being dared by Chris to jump naked on the trampoline. She joked: “I would encourage anyone at home to strip off and have a cheeky bounce.”
But it seems this isn’t just limited to the garden. Speaking to the Mail on Sunday’s YOU magazine, she once said: “It’s absolutely par for the course for me to be walking around with no clothes on in our house.
“I was quite literally the Naked Chef. I got out of the shower, realised I was running late to get everything on the table so I didn’t bother to get dressed.”
Shower sex
Amanda Holden let the world in on a little bit of private information while she presented her Heart FM Breakfast Show.
The steamy information related to shower sex, no less. Speaking with her co-host Jamie Theakston, the pair discussed the best way to face when you’re in the shower.
Amanda gave her thoughts on the matter, but things quickly got out of hand.
She said: “When I first get in, I might go, ‘oh yes here it comes’, but then I think I turn around-“
Co-host Jamie interjected quickly: “So, you’re facing towards the shower to begin with?”
“But only for sex…like…” Holden replied.

Giggles setting in, Jamie replied: “That’s another discussion for another day!”
Firmly back-peddling, Amanda said: “For seconds! I said seconds!”
The show hanging by a thread, Jamie shot back: “What you do in the shower is your own business, I just want to know whether you’re facing the shower or you’re facing the… or whether you’re…”
But it was no good, as Amanda began to break down in laughter.
Then, confirming what listers had already guessed, Amanda let viewers in on a little more detail and all but confirmed she was referring to her relationship with Chris: “My husband is going to be like, ‘she blinking doesn’t!’
“Anyway, then I turn around, I like the water on my back, but then, I’ll tell you what annoys me, there’s always one little spray that goes off on its own little journey somewhere, then I turn back around.”
Teaching sex drive to Alison Hammond
Amanda’s racy approach is well known outside of her bedroom. Speaking to Notebook magazine, Alison Hammon revealed Amanda told her how to “show a bit more leg!”
“You know, sitting down and how to edge the skirt up a little bit. She taught me a bit about sex appeal!
“She kept getting in trouble for opening her legs. They had to keep saying, ‘Amanda keep your legs shut!’ That really tickled me.”
