Speaking in an interview with OK! magazine, Amanda revealed some of the secrets behind her long marriage to Chris.

“The main secret behind a successful marriage is to have a bloody good sense of humour! Plus, I really fancy Chris. We’ll be eating dinner in a restaurant, he’ll go to the loo, then I’ll look up and catch a glimpse of a man and think he’s fit! Then I’ll realise, ‘Gosh, that’s my husband!’

“I still fancy him. Also, Chris challenges me and I challenge him – that’s another secret to a good marriage,” she said.

The Britain’s Got Talent star then went on to explain that spending time together is a priority for them.

She also revealed that she has banned her husband – and herself – from talking about work when they’re together.

“Just last week, Chris and I met up for lunch and a dog walk and we banned talking about work. You need to invest in each other and remember what it was like before children, before you had so much pressure on you,” she then said.

A source said at the time: “Not just because she’s a seasoned presenter but because she also cares about the home and would do anything for them.”
