Feeling fabulous is something that grows with you'

Radio presenter Amanda Holden talks about her tips to de-stress, being busier than ever and making time for date nights with husband Chris Hughes
Feeling fabulous is something that grows with you'

There’s no doubt about it – Amanda Holden is a force of nature. A 5ft 4in the tornado in “killer heels”, the Heart Breakfast presenter works hard, loves fiercely and laughs loudly!  All while managing to looking effortlessly glamorous, of course.

However, like many working mums, she admits that life is so busy, time can be an issue. “There just isn’t enough of it,” she sighs as we catch up for an exclusive chat. “I try to fit as much as humanly possible into every day. I love working but I also want to spend as much time with my husband and children as possible.”

Amanda, 52, and record producer Chris Hughes, 50, share two daughters: Lexi, 17, and Hollie, 11. The couple will celebrate 15 years of marriage this December, after tying the knot in a Christmas-themed wedding at the Grade II listed Babington House, Somerset, in 2008.

Judging by their cosy social media posts, they look just as loved up today as ever, so what’s their secret? “Well,” says Amanda, breaking into her infectious trademark chuckle. “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.”
