Amanda Holden’s husband gets “jealous” of her relationship with Alan Carr as she admits “cutting him out”. Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda has been married to music producer Chris Hughes since 2008.
The happy couple, who share daughters Lexi, 19, and 13-year-old Hollie together, first met in Los Angeles in 2003. The pair struck up a romance a year later and have remained together ever since.
However Amanda, 54, says Chris can sometimes find himself feeling jealous of her friendship with comedian Alan, 49. It comes as the pair have formed a close bond while filming their home renovation and travel series together.
Celebrity Traitors champion Alan even spent New Year’s Eve around Amanda’s house. On the Table Manners podcast, host Lennie Ware asked: “Does Chris get a bit jealous?” To which Amanda replied: “He did mention it a couple of times.”
Alan continued: “There was a funny moment we had last Christmas. We didn’t spend New Year’s Eve together but we did spend that bit in between and we were going through Covent Garden with her family and there was that gorgeous Christmas tree.
“She went, ‘Oh, let’s have a photo’, and she threw the camera at Chris and me and here were like this [poses] with her children. He’s got such a good sense of humour.”
Amanda went on to praise her husband as being the “funniest man alive,” before Alan recalled a humorous anecdote from their new year’s celebrations. He said: “We did a photo at New Year’s Eve where she deliberately cut him out. We’re holding hands and I know.
To which Amanda interjected: “And you could just see Chris’s shoulder in the side of it. I was like, ‘Me and my husband’. Oh, whoops.”
Amanda and Alan have been working closely together in recent years. Their first series, Amanda and Alan’s Italian Job saw the pair buying a property in Sicily for a Euro before renovating and selling it on.
The completed property, situated in the picturesque town of Salemi, was marketed for slightly over £125,000 last year, with sale profits divided between Children in Need and Comic Relief. Subsequent series featured makeovers in northern Tuscany, Italy, and Andalusia, Spain.
Their most recent series has taken the pair to Corfu for Alan and Amanda’s Greek Job. Amanda previously revealed they wanted to visit the area because she enjoys visiting with husband Chris Hughes and their daughters Hollie and Lexi.
She said: “As a country we love it, I holiday there every year, Alan and I have holidayed there. We were fantasizing, saying oh, wouldn’t it be amazing if we could do a show in Greece… we never actually thought it would be a reality!”
Amanda and Alan’s Greek Job will return to BBC One at 7.30pm tonight
