Britain’s Got Talent star Amanda Holden’s ex Les Dennis has revealed that he has managed to forgive her over her infamous affair with Neil Morrissey.
Amanda, 52, and Les, 69, tied the knot in 1995 before eventually ending their marriage in 2003 when she was 30 and he was 48.
Their relationship came to an end when it emerged that Amanda had an affair with actor Neil Morrissey.

But 20 years later, Les has said that he has forgiven Amanda for being unfaithful, and now is “happy that she is happy”.
He told The Times: “Amanda was in the papers recently, saying some nice things about me. That was very kind of her.
“Maybe with time she has been able to look back and see things differently. We’re not in touch but I am happy that she’s happy.”
Les added: “I can watch Britain’s Got Talent without getting angry. To be honest it’s like watching a different person, someone I’ve never met.
“All the hurt that has happened has been healed.”
Neil and Amanda began their illicit fling while they were working on 2000 film Happy Birthday Shakespeare, with Amanda later admitting their relationship was just about ‘sex’.
Amanda has since opened up about the affair, telling Good Housekeeping in 2013: “‘I don’t believe women have affairs for no reason.
“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 and very worried about me because I lost so much weight. He used to cook for me and look after me and babysit the dogs.”
