BGT's Amanda Holden's life from husband & net worth to £700 trick to stay young
Amanda Holden is gracing our screens for Britain's Got Talent and her new Netflix show. But away from TV fame, she has shared her beauty secrets and life at her 'dream home' Amanda Holden is back on our screens for Britain's Got Talent as the final of the show fast approaches. But away from her hectic work life, including her new Netflix series, Cheat: Unfinished Business, which was released earlier this year, the TV presenter enjoys a slower pace back in her Surrey mansion. The 54-year-old has been happily married to her music producer husband Chris Hughes for almost two decades, after they met in the United States. Together, they share two daughters, Lexi, 19, and 13-year-old Hollie. Over the years, the Heart presenter has retained her bombshell status by keeping fit and up to date with the latest beauty treatments. She even revealed her favourite trick for staying youthful. As she graces our screens, we've taken a glimpse into her lavish life - from her best beauty hacks to eye-watering net worth and family home life. Secret to 'ever-evolving' marriage Amanda and Chris first met in the United States in 2003, and got married five years later at St Margaret's Church in Somerset, followed by a reception at Babington House. Despite being together for over two decades, she recently revealed why their relationship still feels so fresh. The mum of two explained how happy she is to be in a "lovely, secure relationship". She told Hello: "We have ups and downs like everyone else. But when I was looking at the pain and suffering that some of the people we were working with were going through, I felt so grateful that I had somebody in my life with no complications." The Britain's Got Talent judge added: "My husband and I always have this joke where we go: 'God, our relationship still feels so fresh. Twenty-two years does feel like a long time, but it still feels new to me. I think that's because it's ever-evolving." Facial she swears by The TV star has revealed the £700 beauty treatment she swears has reversed her age. It involves sitting down for an hour to get micro-needling, and it's not for the faint-hearted. The process includes 24 coated pins which need to be penetrated into the subdermal tissue and coagulate the fat to remodel the face. She boasted about the "incredible" treatment on Instagram and said: "I've had collagen wave facials to smooth out my skin ever since @nilamholmes made it available at @dermaspa_mk. It has always given me an incredible lift. "The other week before filming started on the @bgt live shows, Nilam suggested I try a new natural treatment called Morpheus8! The results have been absolutely amazing. I've noticed a real plumpness to my skin and it's much tighter!" Huge net worth The glam radio presenter is not only back on Britain's Got Talent, but is also co-presenting a new dating show with Married at First Sight star, Paul Bronson. Together, they invite estranged couples to have a second chance at love on Netflix. With her multi-layered career continuing to grow, Amanda now has an impressive net worth of around £3.6 million. While her husband appears to have a net worth of £4.5 million. She previously spoke about how Chris offers her stability and said: "He's rubbish at romance, but he's there for the solid things, such as keeping my car clean and making sure I relax. He's a proper bloke who looks after me. I'm a strong, opinionated woman, but he helps steer the Mandy ship." 'Dream home' Amanda and Chris reside in the charming village of Cobham in their lavish Surrey mansion, which is thought to be worth around £7 million. Describing her home, she previously told Mail Online: "This is my dream home. My entire life I have wanted the dream home, and you know you do the stepping up and now I've finally got it." Amanda also shared with The Mirror: "I am house proud, but I've got two kids, two dogs and a cat, so it's a family house. Everything is washable and wipeable. It's so open plan my littlest can cycle her bike around. "I don't have carpets on the ground floor and this is disgusting but I was doing an interview a while ago and my puppy pooed on the floor during the chat. But you don't worry if you have wooden floors. Two words: wipe clean."

Love Island star says Netflix show changed his life after 'tough' time
Love Island star Biggs Chris candidly opened up on enduring a tough time in recent years following the heartbreaking split between himself and the mother to his child, Ziyon Biggs Chris has candidly revealed how taking part in a brand new Netflix show has 'changed his life' for the better, after enduring a tough time in recent years. The reality star and influencer's appearance on Netflix's Cheat: Unfinished Business saw him come face to face with his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Gormley, who he met while on the winter version Love Island in 2020. The pair didn't spark up romance until after leaving the villa and the pair dated for some time before eventually splitting in the summer of 2021. They remained amicable, despite allegations of cheating on both sides. Biggs, 33, moved on to have a new relationship and started a family with his ex-girlfriend, Summer Hawkins. But, the pair sadly split weeks before his son Ziyon was born in December 2023. Following the split from the mother of his child, Biggs took part in Netflix show Cheat, Unfinished Business, in which he came face to face with his Love Island ex Rebecca to make a confession. In the show, he admits to cheating on her but, the TV star has revealed in an exclusive interview with the Mirror that Rebecca was the one who approached him about doing the show – which made him think she was also going to admit to being unfaithful. Biggs revealed: "Rebecca messaged me asking if I would do a TV show and I was like, 'yeah, why not? Sounds good, let's do it.' Then I found out what it was." He added: "So it never had an official name, but they were either gonna call it Second Chance or Cheat Unfinished Business, so I knew it was gonna be about cheating or working something out. So I thought Rebecca... there was always something between us, you get me, there was always something there lingering up throughout all these years. "And I thought she was coming on to admit that she cheated because there was speculations that she cheated. So I thought, 'you know what, let me use this opportunity to tell you that I cheated and let's build from that, let's see if we could, like, fix it from there'. But yeah, then obviously, the madness happened." During the show, Biggs comes face to face with Rebecca and admits he was unfaithful towards the end of their relationship. And, after Rebecca admitted she was "struggling to move on" from Biggs' admission, the pair's relationship ended for good – and, sadly, on bad terms, despite remaining friends in the three years after their split. During the series, Rebecca sparked up chemistry with another participant, Craig, which sparked fury in the group and amongst viewers. The pair were flirting in secret, unbeknownst to Biggs and Craig's ex Jazz, and things got messy when it was revealed to Biggs during a 'reckoning' that Rebecca had been flirting with Craig. Since the show, Biggs revealed he and Rebecca are no longer on speaking terms. "We don't speak, we've not spoke since," Biggs revealed. Although Biggs' relationship with Rebecca didn't end up in the outcome he initially wanted, the reality star and property mogul managed to take some really positive lessons from his time on the show and said dating expert Paul C Brunson, who was on the Netflix show to help coach the couples, has changed his life. Speaking of Paul, the star gushed: "He's changed my life, like, literally, I've told him that he's changed my life. The way I think, because I'm not... So, the mistake I made in the relationship with Rebecca was not being honest, so she liked to party, and I just wanted to build, so I didn't voice that enough. So I would just party with her, party with her, and then at the back of my mind, I'll be counting the days, like, [until] I'd leave, does that make sense? But if she had no idea, I'd just hated complaining, but that's a mistake. Now, Paul has taught me that if you're feeling something, say it, don't hold it in, say it, and, like, talk about it." Biggs has since taken the lessons he's learned from the experience into his current romance with Emily. The pair now live together and Biggs prefers to keep his romance on a much lower profile than his previous relationships as he's learned some difficult lessons throughout the years. He told us: "I'm happy in my life now. Things are finally going the way it's supposed to. It's been a... it's been a tough couple... it's been a tough – the past two years have been tough. Especially like with my baby mum leaving, like walking out, and now I'm having to fly to see my son. But you know what? Everything happens for a reason." Biggs added that despite the heartache around his split with the mother of his child, his son, Ziyon is "the best thing that ever happened to me". He revealed: "I've always wanted a family. That was my number one goal. Even though it might not look like it, the way I've got this player image. But it's just my number one goal was to have a family and build together." And as for his new romance, he's determined to keep things private – despite sharing the occasional glimpse of his stunning girlfriend on TikTok. He explained: "I'm saying I want to keep it private, even though it's all over TikTok and that, but I'm protecting this relationship. I don't want to make the same mistake, for example, with my ex, Summer, I exposed her to that life, and now, it's like I created a monster, and that's what my dad's been trying to prevent, like, he's always been saying to me, 'like, try and keep your relationship private, because you're exposing them, and then, they take it and run'. Because [when] I met Summer, my baby mum, she was a teacher, so she was this nice, quiet teacher, I exposed her to this world, and now, I've created a monster. "My goal was to never date an influencer, like, I'm not dissing influencers, but I'm an influencer, but it's just, it's good to keep it private, post here and there, but I won't make that my main priority now." Now Biggs is blissfully happy in his romance, he has vowed against doing anymore dating shows – but is still up for doing more reality TV. He revealed: "I wouldn't do any dating shows, but I'd be happy to do, like, Big Brother, or any cool shows that, or any property shows. I'm really big on properties, so I would do something like that, but dating shows, I feel like I've passed, and I got what I needed, you get me, I've got the relationship and help I needed from it, so, yeah."

Every Amanda Holden celebrity spat victory as feud Queen issues fresh dig
Heart FM radio host Amanda reignited her long-standing clash with Holly Willoughby last week when she suggested the former This Morning star wasn't a "proper presenter" - but she's not the only celebrity she's got into a fight with Amanda Holden is at it again. Amanda, 54, took a sly dig at former This Morning host Holly Willoughby, 44, live on air while presenting her Heart FM radio show. Co-host Jamie Theakston teased Amanda about the possibility of her new Netflix dating series Cheat: Unfinished Business being renewed for a new series. Amanda said she "didn't know for sure". Jamie then cheekily remarked: "What are they suggesting, they getting Holly Willoughby?" Amanda replied "No, they want a proper presenter." Ouch. "You're going to be in trouble,' scolded Jamie - but the damage was done. Not that Amanda will likely be cringing. It's not the first time she's made a swipe at Holly, who stepped down from This Morning in 2023. She's also got a bit of history with Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield … and a whole load of other celebrities too. Here we look at Amanda's knack at getting into ugly spats - and who won… Holly Willoughby Amanda and Holly have reportedly been at loggerheads for quite some time, starting from 2014 when Amanda joined the This Morning team after Holly went on maternity leave. After the Phillip Schofield scandal when Holly's co-host was suddenly dropped from the show in 2023, Amanda was accused of throwing shade at Holly in an Instagram video. Returning to her presenting duties after Phillip's exit, Holly started her broadcast in a heartfelt manner, saying: "Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so." Not long after, Amanda used her social media to flaunt a chic white jumpsuit in a video. She began: "Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?". With a grin, she added: "I'm wearing this gorgeous white jumpsuit. It's been in my wardrobe for ages and I've been dying to wear it because the weather's got better and I can." But Amanda later said reports of a feud between her and Holly were 'utter rubbish'. But in 2022, Amanda threw another punch after Holly and Phil received a huge backlash over claims they 'queue jumped' to see the Queen lying in state. In a clip she shared on her Instagram account she told how David Beckham had waited his turn like everyone else, saying 'Good on him' before letting out a laugh and pulling a playful face. WINNER: AMANDA Phillip Schofield Amanda and Phillip once got on well, hosting awards together and co-hosting This Morning while Holly was on maternity leave in 2014. But that seemed to sour in 2018, when Amanda was tipped to replace Holly on This Morning while she temporarily took over from Ant McPartlin on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Phillip allegedly played a hand in hiring The Saturdays' Rochelle Humes instead - reportedly leaving Amanda furious. Phillip said the claims were 'hurtful and wildly untrue'. But several months on in 2019, Amanda made her feelings clear when she took a swipe at Phil during a radio quiz on Heart Breakfast. When asked what she wouldn't want to discover in her house, she jested: "Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield." She added that she had once invited Phil for a coffee to discuss matters in 2019 but never received a reply. Phillip shot back, saying in an interview that Amanda 'has a faulty edit button and she forgets she's on the telly, which is enormously endearing and funny, but occasionally quite scary." Later, she said she had reached out to Phillip for a heart-to-heart over coffee, but claimed he didn't respond. She also posted a bicep curl emoji on Instagram after Schofield stepped down from This Morning, which was interpreted by many as a celebratory gesture. WINNER: AMANDA Katie Price Katie Price sparked her own beef with Amanda after the glamour model cheekily displayed a photoshopped picture of her face on top of Amanda's among the Britain's Got Talent judging line-up. Katie, 45, was on stage at her live podcast show last May when she pulled the stunt and she even admitted: " Amanda won't like that, will she?" A few months later, she took another swipe at the radio host when she snub's Amanda's racy outfit choices she has become famous for. During her appearance on Lewis Raymond's podcast Life Reclaimed, she quickly adjusted her boobs, prompting Lewis to joke: 'Oh she's getting the out'. Katie replied: 'I'm not… I've got nipple covers on, I'm not doing an Amanda Holden because I don't like that look.' This time, though, Amanda has maintained a dignified silence and has so far refused to hit back. This time, ignoring the provocation and resisting the temptation to answer the former glamour model back seems to have been the best strategy. WINNER: AMANDA And the one she couldn't Osbourne Amanda's feud with Sharon kicked off last April when she branded her 'bitter and pathetic' for the way she talked about X Factor boss Simon Cowell during her stint on Celebrity Big Brother. 'I hated seeing certain people in a reality show dissing Simon – he's the person who's given them all the chances, given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn't have had,' Amanda raged in an interview. She added: 'It's bitter and pathetic. It was like Cinderella with her two sisters in the background - just stabby, stabby, stabby.' Sharon hit back, telling the radio host in an acid-tongued post on X: 'The bottom line, Amanda, is, that you'll never be in my league, and you've picked on the wrong ugly stepsister.' She went on: 'The truth is, you don't know me, Amanda. You know nothing about my history in the music industry, my achievements, the artists I have worked with, the shows that I've produced, and my global celebrity.' 'Unlike you, the brand of Sharon Osbourne is known worldwide.' Sharon went on to flaunt her wealth and luxurious lifestyle as she quipped: 'Our worlds are totally different. I have been blessed with an amazing lifestyle throughout my entire life. 'Before you were born, I was living in a mansion in Beverly Hills and continue to do so today and continue to have my country estate in England as well. But there is something you should know. I never discuss money, lifestyle or positions of power. I find it to be classless and crude.' Perhaps sensing she had met her match, Amanda replied, rather sheepishly, through her spokesperson: 'Amanda is aware of Sharon's incredible career but, just like her, Amanda will always defend those close to her,' she said.
