Amanda Holden says she 'couldn't live without' husband on 12th wedding anniversary

They've been together for 18 years - more than you'd get for murder, as the old joke goes.

But Amanda Holden couldn't be more in love with her record producer husband Chris Hughes, posting a loving message proclaiming she couldn't live without him on Thursday.

The Britain's Got Talent judge wrote alongside the smiling picture of the pair during their summer holiday to St. Tropez: 'Almost 18 years together and married 12 today.

"I literally couldn’t live my life without this hilarious, gorgeous, clever man - he is the best Daddy and our foundation! My Chrispy.

"Love you darling."

A second image posted to the 49-year-old's Instagram Story showed the couple in the early years of their relationship.

"Happy anniversary my darling Chrispy," Amanda captioned.

The couple have two daughters - Alexa, 14, and Hollie, eight. They suffered tragedy in 2011, when their son Theo was stillborn at seven months.

Chris is Amanda's second husband, who she met in 2003, the same year her from comedian Les Dennis was finalised.

The pair began dating the following year and had a Christmas-themed wedding in 2008, with fake snow and ivy decoarting the church before a reception at exclusive members club Babington House.

Formula 1 star David Coulthard acted as Chris's best man.
