Amanda Holden hails 'lockdown loving' for boosting sex life with husband

Amanda Holden has embraced the coronavirus lockdown period and said it has done wonders for her sex life.

The 49-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge has revealed that she has got closer to her husband Chris Hughes, 66, and that includes under the bedsheets too.

The radio presenter has hailed "lockdown loving" and said that it has made her marriage to her music producer hubby stronger than ever.

Amanda has been holed up at her home with Chris and their two daughters, Lexi, 14 and Hollie, eight and while some couples have struggled spending 24/7 together, Amanda revealed that it has had the opposite effect for them.

She said: “This whole thing has been great for my marriage.

“I know people are talking about it causing spikes in baby-making and divorce rates, but for us it has been brilliant.

“I’m too old for more babies but our relationship is stronger than ever. It’s all about the lockdown loving.

“You’d never know it because whenever I post photos online Chris refuses to be in them, or he takes them, but getting all this time together for once has been great."

Amanda has certainly embraced lockdown life and while she may be missing having events to get glammed up for, she has decided to wear he finery to do some of the tasks around the house, even wearing he wedding dress for a household chore.

When not in her best dresses, Amanda has turned heads by stripping down to bikinis for a number of swimwear selfies in the sunshine.

The pics have raised the temperature of many followers but Amanda admits that she turns a blind eye to what is written.

She said: “I try not to look at all of the comments.

“Sometimes they’re funny, but sometimes I weigh them up and I think, ‘Hmm, no’.

“But I’m happy to keep putting them out there. They are for my own amusement really."

Amanda hailed her husband for keeping her life full of laughs.

She continued: "That’s why I’m blessed having Chris as well because he’s such a laugh, he’s like a stand-up comedian.

“Even in the darkest of hours, we will find something to laugh about and smile about.

“I even got the wedding dress out for one pic but it’ll have to go to the dry cleaners now because my daughter was walking around the garden in it. She loved it."
