BGT's Amanda Holden shares her unexpected secret to ignoring cruel online trolls

Amanda Holden says her husband keeps her sane when trolls attack her on social media.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 49, believes her solid 12-year marriage to music producer Chris Hughes has helped her cope.

Mum-of-two Amanda is often criticised online over her outspoken comments and saucy posts.

In recent weeks she has been body-shamed after posing in a bikini and criticised for dishing out advice on how to cope with the coronavirus outbreak.

And in May, an Instagram video featuring her daughter Hollie, eight, caused controversy when the girl mistakenly suggested BGT boss Simon Cowell had split from his girlfriend Lauren Silverman.

Asked how she copes with trolling, Amanda said: “I’m so lucky that when I started out, social media wasn’t invented because I might not have got through it.

“I think 2009 is when I joined Twitter and I feel like I was pretty much hardened to a lot of things at that point.

“Everything I have gone through since then has been massively public. It’s difficult but I am very lucky because I’ve got a very strong relationship.

“I’ve got a very strong husband who is very sensible and not like me in any way. He cuts through all the bullsh** and keeps me sane.”

She added: “Nothing matters as long as you are happy and healthy and relatively stable.”

Amanda and Chris tied the knot at Babington House Somerset, in December 2008.

Former Formula One racing driver David Coulthard acted as the best man to groom Chris.
