Amanda Holden’s Shocking Marriage Secret: Put Husband FIRST, Kids SECOND!
Amanda Holden shares her contentious insights on relationships as she gears up for the debut of her upcoming Netflix series, titled “Cheat: Unfinished Business.
In this TV program, Amanda, who is 54 years old, along with relationship advisor Paul C. Brunson, aged 50, guide eight former couples as they strive to move on from their past and rekindle their relationships while residing at a lavish retreat in Mallorca.
Discussing insights gained from the program, Amanda shared that she had gleaned a helpful suggestion from Paul, which she intends to apply in her own marriage to Chris Hughes, whom she wedded in 2008.
The pair have two girls, Lexi, aged 19, and Hollie, 13, whom they frequently share adorable photos of on their social media accounts, as Amanda often posts pictures that show a strong resemblance between herself and her daughters.
Although Amanda’s devotion towards her children remains constant, she shared a lesson imparted by Paul: in a marriage, one should prioritize the partner over the children, with the kids taking the secondary position.
Reflecting on her conversation with TopMob, she pondered aloud, “That’s quite unexpected. I learned it from Paul, and it made me realize how important my spouse is.

she added: ‘It seems that everyone becomes engrossed in their kids, their routines, and the various issues that come up as children mature.’
‘But you have to remember that you and your husband were there together first.
It’s crucial to nurture that relationship for the sake of both yourself and your children, ensuring it continues into the future. In other words, maintaining this bond is extremely significant.
‘It is very controversial, but it’s also supported by research.’
Later, I discovered Amanda’s playful secret to keeping her flame burning brightly with Chris – she confided that even after 17 years of marriage, he remains completely smitten with her derriere.
In a candid moment, Amanda disclosed this amusing detail: “My husband is a guitarist, and he’s become quite preoccupied with my backside. He even wrote an entire song dedicated to it!
‘I had my bum sculpted, he’s got it as a piece of art in his office!’
In terms of our long-standing bond, she added: ‘I believe it improves over time, as I find that the more we talk, the more comfortable we become and the easier it is to be authentic with each other.’


She continued: ‘The stronger your longing becomes, wanting to be close to them in bed and always with them.’
In my opinion, what truly matters is openness, honesty, and being able to expose your vulnerabilities – these are the key elements in a relationship.
‘That’s because you feel safe with them, and that’s what I think this entire show has been about.
It concerns the process of those partners rebuilding trust and feeling secure once more, with Paul serving as a beacon of guidance for their journey.
Amanda has previously married to comedian Les Dennis, 71.
In 1995, they got married. At that time, she was 22 years old and he was 40. However, their marriage ended in 2003 after a well-known infidelity incident involving Amanda and actor Neil Morrissey, who was 62 at the time.
Les has since forgiven Amanda for her infidelity, saying that he is ‘happy that she’s happy’.
Afterward, he found himself married again, this time to Claire Nicholson, having previously been married to both Lynne Webster and Amanda.


Previously, it was disclosed by TopMob that the main cast for Amanda and Paul’s upcoming Netflix show about infidelity features a pair from Love Island, a retired soccer player, and two individuals who share a decade-long past.
Rebecca Gormley and Biggs Chris, who became acquainted while appearing on Love Island in 2020, are reaching out to Amanda (a Britain’s Got Talent judge) and Paul C. Brunson (a relationship expert from Married At First Sight UK) for advice, as they courageously address the factors leading to their separation.
As an ardent fan, I can’t help but empathize with the heartache that Craig and Jazz, two souls yearning for resolution, are experiencing as they navigate through the complexities of a partner living a secret life. Similarly, the long-standing love story between store manager Olivia and PT Liam hangs in the balance, with a decade of shared memories teetering on the edge.
In the initial preview for the series, Amanda made an impressive entrance wearing a sheer nude gown embellished with silver sequins, as she gracefully walked in slow motion towards the show’s villa. She cautioned, “Cheating is among the most devastating breaches of trust.
Amanda clarified: ‘Paul, an expert, will lead them in a relationship retreat where they’ll reconnect. Later, he’ll pose the question to one of the couples, “Is there anything that could be salvaged and rebuilt?”‘
For the first time, the Heart Breakfast host is leading a dating program, having gained initial recognition as a contestant on Blind Date at the age of 19.
The mother of two expressed that she would be supportive if her daughters Lexi and Hollie decided to participate in a dating program, on the condition that it wasn’t Love Island. During filming, she was observed consoling one of the female contestants who was crying.
Paul, an expert in relationships from Married At First Sight UK, joins her to assist the couples in dealing with their betrayals and provide suggestions on potential paths for them to progress.

For over two decades, Paul, his wife Jill being his longtime sweetheart, finally landed his major opportunity when Oprah Winfrey discovered one of his YouTube videos and extended an invitation for him to jointly host a television program alongside her.
The celebrity from Washington has strengthened his profession in the United Kingdom by hosting the podcast “We Need To Talk.” On this platform, he’s conversed with notable figures such as comedian Katherine Ryan, television personality Tulisa (former X Factor judge), and Love Island participant Maura Higgins.
He expressed his eagerness to delve into the complex aspects of infidelity while collaborating with the contestants on Unfinished Business. Moreover, he mentioned that working alongside Amanda Holden had always been a cherished ambition of his. With her participation confirmed, he found it impossible to refuse the opportunity.
Cheat: Unfinished Business is available to stream on Netflix from April 30.
