Amanda Holden starts £28k honeymoon


TV's Amanda Holden has finally jetted off on honeymoon to the Maldives - more than three weeks after she finally married long-term lover Chris Hughes.

Chris, a music producer, first proposed four years ago but the arrival of daughter Alexa put their marriage plans on hold as Amanda wanted her to be a bridesmaid.

And when they did get married on December 10 they delayed their honeymoon so they could enjoy a family Christmas at home with Alexa, who's now two.

It's been worth the wait.

Amanda, 37, and Chris, 33, will have the use of a private butler and a 70ft yacht during their fortnight stay at a £2,000-a-night health spa which is a favourite with A-listers Kate Moss, Tom Cruise and George Clooney.

A friend said: "It's taken Chris four years to get Amanda down the aisle since he proposed, so they decided to go somewhere extra special."

After the wedding, Amanda said: "Chris is my soulmate and Alexa was a wonderful flower girl, although it took lots of chocolate buttons to persuade her."

Amanda and Chris, who have been friends for 10 years, started dating when her first marriage to comedian Les Dennis fell apart in 2002 after her affair with Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey.

The couple got engaged in December 2004 but their plans to wed in 2005 were put on hold after Amanda found out that she was pregnant.

Amanda will be glad of her break in the Maldives as she returns to our screens later this month as a judge on ITV1's Britain's Got Talent.
