Amanda Holden has said presenting a dating show changed her own relationship with her husband as she admitted to making notes during filming.
Amanda, 54, is hosting a new dating show called 'Cheat: Unfinished Business' that follows a series of couples as they try to mend things in the sunshine.
Co-hosting alongside relationship expert Paul C Brunson, Amanda spent last summer filming the series.
Speaking about the experience as she promoted the show, she admitted that she had listened to what Paul had been saying to other couples, took notes, and applied those to her relationship.
Discussing the show and Paul's input with Closer UK she said: 'He gives out amazing advice that I literally made notes on throughout filming. I was really nice to my husband Chris across the summer when we were making the show!'

However, this isn't anything to do with any relationship difficulties, but more to do with the fact that their busy schedules means they rarely see each other.
She told Heart FM: "I've been married for over 20 years. Well, I met him in 2003, I can't work it out.
'Anyway, a long time, and our lives have been very separate for a long time because we're both very busy. Obviously, we're very happily married, but we do lots of things separately.
'I love my Peloton and running, he goes and plays squash. He's got a massive career as well. We're always separate, you know.'
Meanwhile, an insider told Closer that Amanda and Chris are working out how they can stay close despite the busy nature of their lives, reports BirminghamLive.

They told the publication: "Amanda realises that something's got to give but it's not quite that simple.
"She knows she needs to prioritise her husband – who knows how she would cope without him. They've talked about trying a getaway to spend real down time together – alone. The kids are old enough to hold the fort.
'Amanda knows she needs to consider this. Until now it's always been as a family so going on holiday alone would be alien to her. But it's a great place to start, even if it's a long weekend.'
Meanwhile, Amanda has joked what her biggest ick (slang for off-putting feature or habit) is about her husband is. She told Heart FM: 'My ick with Chris, although that does sound quite dramatic, is when Chris is dressed casually.

"My husband looks really nice when he goes out but his relaxed look, the thing I would burn without any hesitation, but I think it would pollute the air, is that he owns yellow Crocs.'
Amanda Holden is set to appear on Cheat on Netflix later this year.

Chris Hughes' ex confirms pregnancy amid his blossoming romance with JoJo Siwa
Love Island star Chris Hughes's ex-girlfriend has revealed she is pregnant with her first child - while his relationship with Celebrity Big Brother co-star JoJo Siwa is heating up Chris Hughes's professional sport star ex-girlfriend has announced she is expecting her first child - just as his romance with Celebrity Big Brother co-star JoJo Siwa has been confirmed. Professional golfer Annabel Dimmock, 28, shared her happy news via a social media post on Saturday. The golf star took to Instagram showing herself wearing a pink crop top and a pair of short denim shorts. With her legs dangling into a swimming pool, the star showed her growing baby bump. In an accompanying caption, she wrote: "New rookie on tour coming soon" alongside pink heart emojis - and thereby announcing her pregnancy. Fans were quick to take to the comments to wish her well - and noted that the star was posing with baby pink baby shoes. One wrote: "Omg congratulations so happy for you." And another typed: "Congratulations your gonna make the best mum... can't wait to meet her." Annabel previously enjoyed a 14 month romance with Love Island star Chris which lasted from 2020 until 2022. Chris had previously hinted the split hit him hard. "I'm in a good place. I always struggle a bit when it's fresh out of a relationship because everything feels different," he told The Sun in 2022. "But I'm in the gym, I'm keeping myself busy with work. I'm all over the shop. I've got good friends and family around me which is a blessing as well, so I feel good." Annabel's agent had previously told OK! Magazine: "I can confirm they have split and Annabel wishes Chris all the best." She then went on to date Alfie Best Jnr - who is worth £10million thanks to the success of his father, entrepreneur Alfie Best Snr. When the romance was revealed in June 2023, a source told The Sun: "Alfie is a really well liked guy and has been a great match for Annabel. The pair are head over heels but taking things in their stride and not plastering it all over the internet.' Chris has since found a new romance, however, with American pop singer JoJo Siwa, 22. The pair fell for each other after appearing on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother in April this year. Viewers watched in surprise as the pair grew extremely close while in the house - despite the fact JoJo had a girlfriend, Kath Ebbs, on the outside world. When the series concluded, Kath sensationally claimed that JoJo had dumped her at the CBB wrap party. Former Dance Moms star JoJo and Chris then raised eyebrows when they enjoyed a holiday together in Mexico - where they were snapped kissing in a swimming pool. The pair later appeared to confirm their romance as Chris shared a photo of himself in bed with the younger star. JoJo has since discussed their relationship, telling ITV's Lorraine: "Chris and I have had a lot of chats. We've never gone into the kitchen and the head is turning, we've never had that version. He's the best man." Further quizzed on what was going on, she said: "It's so funny To me. It's so funny how straight up people are." Revealing that he had gifted her roses, she said: "They were discount flowers. There's this adorable clip of him, peeling off the sticker... What's even better now, everyone deserves to know, the flowers exist in a blender bottle. He's the best."
