Amanda Holden does one thing twice a year 'to prove husband exists but he can't stand it'
Amanda Holden has been married to her husband, Chris Hughes, for 14 years, and the star has now shared the one thing she has to do a few times a year to prove he's still part of her family Television star Amanda Holden has revealed she performs one particular ritual twice annually to demonstrate that husband Chris Hughes actually exists. Amanda, 54, has been married to Chris, 51, for 22 years, yet insists that despite the decades together, their union still feels incredibly fresh. The duo first crossed paths in 2003 before exchanging vows in 2008, and share two daughters, Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13. Nevertheless, the Britain's Got Talent judge said there are certain activities she enjoys that Chris tries to avoid, including maintaining an active social media presence. Consequently, Amanda reveals that several times annually, she compels record producer Chris to feature on her social media platforms to demonstrate he remains among the living. She revealed to The Times: "It does still feel fresh. We're very different people. He can't stand the limelight, hates red carpets, hates turning up anywhere with me, so he doesn't. "Twice a year he gets forced to go on my Instagram just to prove he exists. I will only listen to him on the business side of life. In other ways I'm very spontaneous and don't listen to him at all." This marks not the first occasion Amanda has discussed her marriage, acknowledging earlier this year that, similar to every couple, they continue experiencing highs and lows. 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. "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." Amanda also candidly discussed her personal preferences for relaxation. When the Times asked whether she preferred a novel or Netflix, she confessed that it all hinges on the season. She elaborated: "I have the biggest pile of books I'm taking on holiday, and I'm even more excited about reading them than I am about seeing long-lost friends. "But in winter I'm up to my eyeballs in Netflix and Amazon Prime and Apple TV+. I love The Morning Show and Bad Sisters. The Handmaid's Tale is hands-down the best thing I've ever seen."

Tyson Fury names two fighters he will never face after announcing comeback
Fury has announced his stunning return to boxing earlier this month - but ahead of his return fight next year - he has already ruled out two names Tyson Fury has ruled out a showdown with Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker as he gears up for his return to boxing. The 36-year-old heavyweight, who had previously hung up his gloves in January after two losses to Oleksandr Usyk, has been teasing fans about a comeback. Earlier this month, Fury confirmed that he's lacing up the gloves once more, aiming for a ring return next year. Despite the Morecambe fighter's eagerness to get back into action, he has made it clear that he won't be fighting this year. Speaking at BoxFest on Saturday, before Usyk's clash with Daniel Dubois, Fury shared: "For sure. I am open to offers at the moment. I am not going to do any comebacks this year. That is a fact. I have been busy. As you can see, I have got Netflix here. I am filming 'At Home With The Furys! Season 2." He added: "And next year, the big 'G K' is going to make a f****** comeback. The takeover! I am going to be 37 in about three weeks so I am going to be the oldest swinger in town. With all these young boys coming up, it is going to be difficult, but I believe I can put on some very good nights still." Despite being open to challenges, Fury has explicitly stated he will NOT step into the ring with either Kabayel or Parker, reports All Out Fighting. The two-time heavyweight champion, who has previously trained with both Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker, holds them in high regard. "They are my two brothers," Fury said. "They are both lovely guys and they are both future world heavyweight champions. Agit Kabayel and Joseph Parker... he has been a champion before so he knows what it is about. I wish them all the very best in the world and I won't fight either man for any amount of money because some things ain't worth fighting for." Fury has identified Usyk and Anthony Joshua as two potential opponents. The 'Gypsy King; retired after suffering back-to-back defeats to the Ukrainian and has been tipped to fight Joshua for quite some time, but a fight has never materialised. On wanting the two aforementioned names, the 36-year-old replied: "Listen, I want a few fights. All of these guys that you talk about can all have it. "The 'AJ' fight has been simmering for about forty five f****** years and it still has not happened. The Usyk fight. I have already fought that f***** twice and last time, I easily thought I won it. Did not get it. Did not cry about it. Who gives a s***? It is what it is. We are still here. We are still talking b*******. That is a fight I would definitely like to do here at Wembley and I hope I get what I want this time. The Joshua fight is there and even Dubois if he loses to Usyk." The British heavyweight has firmly ruled out a clash with Parker, but the New Zealander might just throw a spanner in Fury's works. The WBO could force Usyk to defend his titles against the Kiwi sensation next, potentially derailing plans for a Fury-Usyk showdown. At the post-fight press conference on Saturday night, boxing promoter Frank Warren was quizzed about his preferred next opponent for Usyk and he disclosed: "His [Usyk's] first defence of his title is the WBO belt and that will be against Joe Parker. So that again would be a great fight. "I mean I would like to see the Joe Parker fight. Joe deserves it. He's on a run himself, same as Daniel was on, and that's the fight that's been ordered. So one way or another it will happen, or Joe will fight for the vacant title. Tyson has made it very clear to me; he'd love that [Usyk] fight, he would love to do that fight and it'd be a big fight." When is Tyson Fury's next fight? Following the announcement of his return to the ring, British boxing sensation Fury revealed that his third bout with Usyk is set for 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium. The 36-year-old shared a fight poster featuring him and the Ukrainian on Instagram, captioning it: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets." After going 24 rounds with the Ukrainian, the 'Gypsy King' remains adamant that he at least won the rematch back in December. 'My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs ***," he said. 'I want a fair fight, I don't want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn't [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it's Tuesday it's Tuesday.'

EXCLUSIVE Oasis megafan with stage 4 cancer who thought he had missed his chance to see the band perform is surprised by childhood friends with tickets
A man with stage four cancer was stunned after being surprised with Oasis tickets after he was too ill to secure them when they went on sale last year. Lee Brown, 50, from Sheffield, was diagnosed in 2016 with gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), a rare type of cancer that develops in the digestive system. The Oasis megafan had a 26cm tumour growing in his stomach and has had three surgeries in the last nine years in an attempt to cure the disease. However, three months ago, Lee and his family were told by medics that his treatment was no longer working. He is now regularly travelling between South Yorkshire and the Royal Marsden Hospital in London for a clinical trial in the hope it will help his cancer. The mental health community team leader was disappointed last August when he was too ill to secure Oasis tickets for their comeback tour this year and thought he had missed his chance to see his favourite band perform once again. That was until his best friends decided to surprise him with tickets to see Liam and Noel Gallagher perform at Heaton Park, Manchester - their home city - on Saturday, after raising money through a secret Just Giving page. Lee told MailOnline: 'Oasis has been the soundtrack of our friendship and our lives. I last saw them in Chicago in 2001. 'I was pretty ill when the tickets went on sale and thought I had missed my chance. Jane did a secret Just Giving appeal for my ticket last week in social media without my knowledge and the £800 was raised in four hours from her making a post, apparently. I can't thank her and everyone who donated enough.' The father-of-three added: 'The concert was everything I thought it would be and more! Words can't do it justice. Unreal!' Lee posted a video on X showing his childhood friends David Wroe, Paul Deacon and Jane Wroe, pulling up to his house blasting Stand By Me clad in Oasis branded merchandise. 'Have you seen him? Have you really come to show off? You're kidding,' Lee said while playfully shaking his head. They then got out of the car before handing him a letter, while saying: 'We've come to show off, we've not got you a ticket, don't be daft, they're like £4,000 each.' He then read Jane's letter aloud and said: 'To my adopted brother Lee, Stop Crying Your Heart Out because you, me and David are off to Heaton Park to see Oasis. There's no-one we'd rather have next to us 'You're more than a brother, you're more than a mate, you're a hero and this is our way of saying thank you for being you. Take your bucket hat because your dream of Oasis is coming true. 'We're going to Rock 'N' Roll Stars. Yes, we'll be filming your reaction, no we won't be deleting the footage ever. There's another surprise at the back of the car.' In the back of Jane and David's car was Lee's other childhood best friend, David, who got out and surprised him with a big, emotional hug. WHAT IS GIST? GIST stands for GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumour. A GIST can occur when special cells within the wall of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract change so that they grow more than they should. GISTS often have no symptoms but it can vary depending on size and location of the tumour. Symptoms: Fatigue (tiredness and a feeling of weakness) Weight loss Tummy (abdominal) discomfort or pain A painless lump in the abdomen Being sick (vomiting) Blood in the stools (bowel motions) or vomit Anaemia (low level of red blood cells) Source: NHS He said: 'David and Paul have been my best mates since eight years of age and Jane is David's sister, who I have known since she was born and see as my own little sister. I also have the best group of friends. It's a unique and strong bond we've all had throughout our lives.' 'My favourite part was my favourite song Live Forever, which is more and more poignant as time goes on. But it was all honestly immense, I sang every word. I hope [Noel and Liam] know how much this has meant to so many people. 'I think in such a tough time in the UK, the [Noel and Liam] need to realise the happiness and magic they have brought back into people's lives and my story is one of many that show that.' Although he had the best time with his closest friends, Lee said that his 'only tinge of sadness' was that he couldn't go with his family, especially his 16-year-old son Freddie 'who shares my deep passion for everything Sheffield Wednesday and Oasis'. He added: 'Hopefully I will still be around the next time they tour and we can share that moment together.' Since being diagnosed with cancer, Lee has raised over £100,000 for different charities, including £20,000 for GIST Cancer UK to help work towards a cure. 'This has all been done with the help of my amazing friends and family,' he said, including his partner Lisa, 50, and his children Hanaa, 29, Lily, 17, Freddie, 16 and his granddaughter Piper, four, who he 'adores'. Lee, his family and his friends are all hopeful that his clinical trial the Royal Marsden Hospital in London will help his cancer. 'It's an amazing hospital and exciting trial, so I remain positive,' he said.
