Amanda Holden addresses rumors of a rift with Holly Willoughby amid her marriage history with Les Dennis
London: So, Amanda Holden and Alan Carr are teaming up again to host the Royal Variety Performance. It’s a big deal, and they had some amazing guests like Sir Elton John and Ellie Taylor performing for King Charles.
Amanda’s been a familiar face on our screens for over 20 years. This weekend, she’s co-hosting the event at the Royal Albert Hall with her good buddy Alan. They’ve got a fun history together, especially from their renovation show.
In a chat about her outfit for the show, Amanda joked with The Sun’s TV Mag, saying she hopes no one complains about her glamorous look. It’s all in good fun, right?
Now, Amanda’s been a staple on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent since 2007, and she’s known for her fabulous fashion sense. She first made waves in the late ’90s with roles in shows like The Grimleys. Fun fact: she was married to comedian Les Dennis back in the day.
They split in 2000 and divorced in 2003 after Amanda had an affair with Neil Morrissey. Now, she’s happily married to music producer Chris Hughes, and they have two daughters together. Sadly, they lost their baby Theo in 2011, which was a tough time for the family.
Recently, there have been whispers about a rift between Amanda and Holly Willoughby. But Amanda shut that down in 2023, calling the rumors “utter rubbish.” She emphasized that strong women shouldn’t be pitted against each other and that these stories need to stop.
She pointed out how the media often portrays women differently than men, which is just not right. Amanda believes these kinds of articles distract from real news and that we need to focus on what truly matters.
