Amanda Holden says her husband keeps her ‘sane’

Amanda Holden thinks her husband has helped to keep her "sane".

The 49-year-old TV star has frequently been subjected to criticism on social media over recent years, but Amanda has learned to cope with the nasty comments over time and has hailed the influence of her husband, songwriter Chris Hughes.

The blonde beauty – who has Hollie, eight, and Alexa, 14, with Chris – told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "I’m so lucky that when I started out, social media wasn’t invented because I might not have got through it.

"I think 2009 is when I joined Twitter and I feel like I was pretty much hardened to a lot of things at that point.

"Everything I have gone through since then has been massively public. It’s difficult but I am very lucky because I’ve got a very strong relationship.

"I’ve got a very strong husband who is very sensible and not like me in any way. He cuts through all the bull***t and keeps me sane."

In fact, Amanda – who has been married to Chris since 2008 – thinks their relationship can help her to overcome any problem.

She said: "Nothing matters as long as you are happy and healthy and relatively stable."

In recent years, Amanda has come under fire for wearing revealing clothes on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.

But the TV star previously hit back at the criticism, saying she sees the show as an "opportunity to take risks".

Amanda explained: "I dress to feel confident. I try not to think about age anymore when I’m dressing.

"My children don’t bat an eyelid at what I wear and love borrowing my clothes. Of course, I have fun on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ – it’s the perfect opportunity to take risks.

"Times have changed and I don’t feel anyone should feel pressure to dress for your age."
