Amanda Holden famous flings – wild affair, age-gap romance and Simon Cowell ‘date’

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden is one of the UK’s sexiest TV sirens – but what do we know about her bedroom antics?

The Heart FM star has stole many hearts over the years including some famous faces. Her roster includes her ex-husband Les Denis, a Men Behaving Badly actor and a ‘date’ with a massive music mogul.

Amanda is now happily married to record producer Chris Hughes and has been for the past 15 years. But before this, she dated around the showbiz circuit.

Chris and Amanda tied the knot in 2008 and now share two daughters Alexa ‘Lexi’, 18, and Hollie, 12. The family live in Surrey in an extravagant £5million mansion. But before her family-life, she was a little wild…

Before Chris, Amanda married TV host Les Dennis when she was just 22-years-old back in 1995. The pair had an 18-year ape gap between them and first met while performing in The Sound of Music in 1993.

They were wed for eight years before things came to an end due to Amanda’s unfaithfulness. Amanda has always spoken highly of Les and claimed that it was the “worst time of her life” during this time.

At the time of their split, Amanda, then 32, shared why she was so keen to move on. She claimed: “I terribly want children but I didn’t want to have them with Les. That’s a horribly brutal thing to say, but when you do, you know you have to move on.”

Amanda cheated on Les with Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey during a five-week affair which ended up destroying their marriage.

Talking about her affair, Amanda said: “I found the fall from grace incredibly hard to deal with. I can’t bear not to be liked. Then I had an affair and overnight turned into this awful person. There are no hard feelings with Les. I wish him the best, but we’ve both moved on. I don’t believe women have affairs for no reason. Women don’t seek sex – we seek love and affirmation.

“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.”

However, Neil spoke about it in recent years and said: “This was a very short fling. I didn’t have representation at the time, in terms of PR and this was the first time I’d really come under the cosh.”

Simon Cowell ‘date’

Amanda Holden recently put to bed rumours that she once went on a romantic date with BGT boss Simon Cowell.

In an interview with The Times, Amanda insisted that the co-stars have always just been friends. She told the publication: “He teases me it was a date, but it wasn’t. We went out for dinner and I took my best friend.”

She also spoke about it on Heart FM and said: “I don’t think he’s [Simon] ever been on a date where it’s just him and somebody else, because he’s actually quite shy and I don’t think he’s very good on a one to one.

“There were a lot of other people there including my friends and we were in Los Angeles for a friend’s birthday, and I sat next to him at dinner and we had a really lovely dinner. My taxi was already booked for 10.30pm and I have to say when it did come I was gutted – but it wasn’t a date!”

She confirmed that she had “always loved” Simon but declared they were far too busy with their own love lifves for anything to ever blossom between them.
