Amanda Holden, 54, dazzles alongside youthful husband Chris Hughes, 51, in stunning snap 22 years after meeting... as fans marvel at the couple's aged-defying looks
The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, looked stunning as she posed with her long-haired husband, 51, to whom she has been married since 2008 after meeting in 2003.
Alongside the Instagram post, Amanda, who shares daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, with her husband, shared the sweet caption: 'To the moon and back….8:8', with a heart and moon emoji attached.
Amanda looked sensational in a black chiffon dress with a tie neck and plunging neckline as she beamed with her husband's arms wrapped around her hips.
Music producer Chris meanwhile proved his wife is not the only ageless half of their couple, as he showcased his jet black locks and extremely smooth complexion - in looks far deying his quinquagenarian status.
It seems a number of Amanda's fans could not believe how youthful the pair look, with an onslaught of comments marvelling at their good looks.
Alongside the Instagram post, Amanda, who shares daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, with her husband, shared the sweet caption: 'To the moon and back….8:8', with a heart and moon emoji attached.
A number of Amanda's 2.5million followers shared their thoughts, penning: 'No grey hair's what's your secret??... Beautiful...
'Although, it would appear that you both are not aging, which for the rest of us is dreadfully unfair... As my Nan would say what a handsome couple. You both look radiant... Chris hasn't aged in 20 years!'
The reference to the date appeared to be a nod to the annual occurence of the Lion's Gate Portal - an astrological sign to manifest 'heart-based desires'.
The event is detailed as: 'On August 8th, the Lion's Gate Portal aligns with the heliacal rising of the star Sirius within the constellation of Leo. The energy is ripe for manifesting our innermost, heart-based desires.'
Chris, who is a former drummer and now producer for artists including Paul McCartney, Robert Plant and Tears for Fears, is a rare feature on Amanda's social media, due to his loathing of the spotlight.
Amanda reflected on his feelings in an interview with The Times last month, saying: 'He can't stand the limelight and hates red carpets.'
She revealed that the couple, who met in 2003, often lock horns - most recently over the purchase of their £7m property in Cobham, Surrey.
Amanda revealed Chris had 'no say', saying: 'All the decisions about the house are mine. He hates it and argues with me all the time and then says I was right.'
Chris is Amanda's second husband, after her marriage to Family Fortunes legend Les Dennis, whom she married in 1995 when she was 22 and he was 40 before splitting in 2000 when her affair with Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey came to light.
They later rekindled their romance but separated in 2002 and divorced in 2003.
She went on to marry Chris in a Christmas-themed wedding in St Margaret's Church in Somerset in December 2008, where F1 driver David Coulthard was best man.

Noel Gallagher: I'm proud of my brother - he's been amazing
Noel Gallagher has said he is "proud" of his brother Liam after the pair reunited for this summer's Oasis Live '25 tour. The highly anticipated reunion was announced in August last year, after the brothers seemingly put the feud which led to their split in 2009 behind them. At the time, Noel said he "simply could not go on working with Liam", but having just completed the UK-leg of their comeback tour, he has nothing but praise for his younger sibling. "Liam's smashing it. I'm proud of him," Noel told talkSport in his first interview since the tour began. "I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it, it's not in my nature. But I've got to say, I kind of look and I think 'good for you, mate'. He's been amazing. "It's great just to be back with Bonehead [Paul Arthurs] and Liam and just be doing it again." 1:11 When asked if he has felt emotional during the tour, Noel added: "I guess when it's all said and done we will sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in the band with Liam, I forgot how funny he was." He went on to say he was "completely blown away" after the band's opening night in Cardiff, and "grossly underestimated" what he was getting himself into when first signing up for the shows. He said: "It was kind of after about five minutes, I was like, 'all right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?' "I've done stadiums before and all that, but I don't mind telling you, my legs had turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song." "Every night is the crowd's first night, you know what I mean?" he continued. "So every night's got that kind of same energy to it, but it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it." Having played to packed crowds in Cardiff, London, Manchester, Dublin and Edinburgh, Oasis have scheduled dates around the world including in major cities across the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Japan. It's rumoured the band will continue their run of shows next year, when it marks 30 years since they played two sell-out nights at Knebworth Park to an estimated 250,000 people. When quizzed on the rumours on talkSport, Noel quickly changed the subject, saying: "Right, let's talk about football."

Noel Gallagher opens up about his brother Liam on Oasis reunion tour: ‘He's been amazing'
Noel Gallagher has opened up about his feelings towards his long-estranged brother Liam during Oasis' sold-out global reunion tour for the first time, saying: 'He's been amazing … it's great being back in the band with Liam.' Oasis announced they would be reuniting in August 2024, 15 years after their split in 2009 when Noel quit the band after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer'. The brothers continued to trade barbs for years and rejected any suggestion they would bury the hatchet, making their reunion a pleasant surprise for their fans. At their first show in Cardiff, the crowd responded with whistles and applause when the brothers briefly embraced at the end of the gig. Speaking to TalkSport's Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on Tuesday, Noel Gallagher said he had been 'completely blown away' by the tour so far. 'Liam's smashing it. I'm proud of him,' he said. 'I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it, it's not in my nature. But I've got to say, I kind of look and I think, 'Good for you mate.' He's been amazing. 'It's great just to be back with Bonehead [Paul Arthurs] and Liam and just be doing it again,' he continued. 'I guess when it's all said and done we will sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in the band with Liam, I forgot how funny he was.' Noel said he was taken aback by the fan response at their first show in Cardiff in July. 'I can't speak for anyone else, but for me personally, I grossly underestimated what I was getting into. It was kind of after about five minutes, I was like, all right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?' he said. 'I've done stadiums before and all that, but I don't mind telling you, my legs had turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song. It's been an amazing thing. Really is an amazing thing. It's difficult to put into words, actually. 'Every night is the crowd's first night, you know what I mean? So every night's got that kind of same energy to it, but it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it.' Oasis has already played 17 dates across the UK and Ireland, and are continuing their away around the world with performances to come in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and South America. The Oasis Live '25 tour is due to end in November in Brazil.
