Les Dennis on-screen moment that sealed end of marriage to Amanda Holden

Amanda Holden and Les Dennis became the "it" couple of the 2000s, as everyone was talking about the pair's blossoming love for each other.

After being together for a few years, the pair decided to tie the knot in 1995. With Amanda being just 22 and Les aged 40, the pair became one of the most unlikely couples, often being hounded by the press for their relationship.

However, things eventually turned sour for the pair in 2002, after Amanda was caught having an affair with actor Neil Morrissey. The love rats were caught out after being seen hooking up whilst starring in the BBC drama Happy Birthday Shakespeare.

Eventually speaking out on the debacle, the Britain's Got Talent judge said that she found the reaction to her affair "incredibly hard to deal with". She added: "There are no hard feelings with Les. I wish him the best, but we've both moved on."

She continued: "I don't believe women have affairs for no reason. Women don't seek sex – we seek love and affirmation."

But it was not just Amanda who had seemingly been unfaithful as before the pair officially divorced, former Family Fortunes host Les also admitted to adultery. Documents from the split revealed that Les had started another relationship whilst hitched with Amanda – although the other woman's name was never revealed.

Whilst Les has forgiven Amanda for her betrayal, he admitted he can remember the exact moment their relationship broke down. Writing in his new book Must the Show Go On?, Dennis said that his exit on Celebrity Big Brother in 2002 was the last straw for the pair.

Amanda did not attend the show when Les was evicted from the house, instead deciding to send a video message to her beau. Strictly Come Dancing star Les reflected on this incident: "My heart filled with dread – she couldn't even be bothered to do it live.

"Suddenly, she was on screen, not alone but with two of her Cutting It co-stars," he continued. "That was my defining moment." Les added that in the clip, she had never once said the words 'I love you', which, for him, sealed the deal that the marriage was over.

Holden was the second wife of Les, after his previous marriage to Lynne Webster in 1974. Since then, Les has found love for a third time, tying the knot with Claire Nicholson in 2009.
