Amanda Holden left her co-stars shocked when she revealed husband Chris Hughes hasn't done one thing during their 23-year relationship.
Amanda, 54, tied the knot with Chris in 2008, four years after the couple first started dating. The couple now share daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, together.
But despite their lasting union, Amanda revealed Chris is yet to make her dinner during their time together. She made the revelation on her Heart Radio show with co-presenter Jamie Theakston and guests John Torode and Lisa Faulkner.
John and Lisa met while the Spooks actress was competing on Celebrity Masterchef in 2010, they began dating five years later. The couple married in 2019, the same year they launched John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen.
Introducing the pair on Heart, Jamie, 54, said: 'Kitchens can be a very tense environment for couples, certainly in my household…' To which Amanda replied: 'My husband doesn't even step foot in it.'

Jamie joked that Chris 'didn't know' where the kitchen was. Only for Amanda to add: 'In 23 years he hasn't made me a dinner.'
Lisa Faulker: 'I'm completely shocked that your husband has not made you dinner. I'm going to have a word with him.'
Amanda said: 'I think you should, it's actually starting to wind me up. Even on the weekends I get up first and I go, 'Do you want a coffee darling?' I even make the coffee.'
Amanda went on to reveal that Chris is 'incapable' in the kitchen. She says he can just about rustle up an omelette.

The Britain's Got Talent judge recently explained she is happy to be in a "lovely, secure relationship". She revealed why their relationship still feels fresh even after two decades together.
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."
The former actress added: "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."
The couple share their luxurious £7 million Surrey home with their daughters, two dogs, and two cats. Describing her home, she previously told Mail Online: "This is my dream home. My entire life I have wanted the dream home, and you know you do the stepping up and now I've finally got it."

She told The Mirror it can be difficult to keep on top of the work needed to maintain the property. She explained: "I am house proud, but I've got two kids, two dogs and a cat, so it's a family house. Everything is washable and wipeable. It's so open plan my littlest can cycle her bike around.
"I don't have carpets on the ground floor and this is disgusting but I was doing an interview a while ago and my puppy pooed on the floor during the chat. But you don't worry if you have wooden floors. Two words: wipe clean."

Romeo Beckham moves on from girlfriend Kim 'with blonde model' in Paris
Romeo and Kim split just two weeks ago. Romeo Beckham only split with his ex, Kim Turnbull, a few weeks ago and has apparently already moved on. The second eldest Beckham child was spotted with a blonde model in Paris. David and Victoria Beckham's 22-year-old son has found himself surrounded by rumours of a family feud after his older brother Brooklyn, 26, decided to avoid their dad's 50th birthday. Brooklyn was reportedly 'uneasy' about Romeo dating Kim, as he was once close friends with her, and felt his parents were 'favouring' his younger brother, who was seen beaming in snaps from David's birthday, writes the Mirror. Amid the family rift, Romeo and Kim parted ways two weeks ago and now it looks like it's all-change again after the latest snaps coming in from Paris. Romeo was spotted in a car in the French capital, sporting a shaved head, wearing a black Champion sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms. He was pictured in the car with German model, Caroline Daur, 30, leaving a bash at the swanky, Hotel Costes. Romeo jumped into a taxi with the influencer - who was rocking a strapless minidress and who has 5m followers on Instagram - and other pals after enjoying an evening together, before hot-footing it to Julia nightclub, where they stayed until the early hours. The pair sparked romance rumours as they went to great lengths not be snapped together as they left the venue separately. However, they then headed off in the same car alongside others, reports the Mail. It is said that Romeo and Caroline bonded over their love of tennis, with both attending the Men's Singles Semi Final at the French Open on Friday. Romeo's representatives have been contacted for comment. Insiders say that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and his ex Kim, and insist that their split has nothing to do with the bitter Beckham feud, which is said to have been sparked by their relationship. Brooklyn is said to have felt Kim's reasons for dating his brother were 'disingenuous' amid rumours he used to date the DJ. However, in a now deleted Instagram post Cruz Beckham denied Brooklyn was ever in a relationship with Kim. Speaking to the Mail about Romeo's split with the DJ, who the model once referred to his as his "world", a source said: "Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. "They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. "David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Secret 'spicy island' in European holiday hotspot where Brits romp on sunbeds
While the secret island doesn't show up on maps, hundred of adventurous Brits escape there every summer where connections are anything but conventional "You're on an island where anything goes, but it feels incredibly safe nothing happens without consent. It's like Disneyland for swingers" - so says one of the holidaymakers to the so-called 'Spicy Island', where Brits indulge in their wildest fantasies. Amanda Leigh, a 38-year-old dancer, found unexpected freedom in a hidden swingers ' haven off Croatia's coast. She anticipated a "hot girl summer" but ended up meeting her now-partner Alex, during a skinny-dipping adventure amid strangers. Her journey into the swinging lifestyle began over a decade ago at an adult-only resort in Mexico. Now, she's a seasoned participant, with Spicy Island being her destination of choice. "Last year I met Alex and this year we're ready to open our relationship up," Amanda shares. "I want to fulfil the 'hot wife' fantasy and I'm looking forward to exploring this further." The exclusive two-week getaway, now in its third edition, is run by Spicy Match, who take over the entire island for as many as 600 guests. The secret location is revealed only once attendees board on the boat from the mainland. The ticket prices range from £1,000 for a simple bell tent to £2,500 for a luxurious two-bedroom sun lodge, complete with meals, fire-eaters and educational sex seminars. "You only find out where it is when you get on the boat," reveals Amanda. It was on this mysterious hour-long boat ride that she encountered Alex, a spa technician. "I couldn't get over how hot Alex was," she confesses. "We started flirting right then and there, and by the third night we were together while skinny-dipping in the pool." The pair didn't end up swinging with anyone else, instead spending the trip getting to know one another. Amanda says the sex was "incredible" and finds the freedom of being intimate on the beach or in front of others "very liberating". Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a welcome bag containing condoms and wristbands to tell them apart from staff. Video recording guests is banned, but stripping down is encouraged. The resort designates "play area" zones for various interests - couples, singles, and those into BDSM. Amanda wants to set the record straight on swinging, noting: "People think swingers are gross or glorified cheaters. But it's about consent and communication. You're free from unwanted advances - it's nothing like a standard nightclub." The island attracts people of all ages, including James and Katherine Gordon, 55-year-old sweethearts from Kent who have been swinging since their teens. Katherine shares with confidence: "We've been to swingers events all over the world; the island ranks at the top. We'll literally say, we're into full swapping and single men." Before arriving, they'd already connected with others online and planned to meet for dinner in the port town. "Last year, 40 of us had dinner together the night before we left," Katherine recounts. "It's easy to build connections before you've even arrived." She admits her preference for younger men often takes the lead when it comes to flirting. James humorously remarks that he is content to "outsource" these days, admitting he can't keep up. "The meals on the island are communal, so we sit next to people we think we'll vibe with," she continues. "You flirt like you would in any bar or club." Katherine reveals that while she may be reserved in day-to-day life, this lifestyle unveils a more audacious side of her. They reserve a two-bed lodge, dedicating one room for rest and the other for enjoyment. "It just suits us better," she confides. "And after 30 years, we've made a lot of friends here." She describes the atmosphere as inviting: "You might see people having sex on verandas or making out on shared beds or you might find someone quietly reading a book." Meanwhile, Katie Jones, 38, and husband Simon, 49, from Hertfordshire, gear up for their second jaunt to the island, having stumbled upon it during a trip to the French naturist resort Cap d'Agde. Embracing the liberty to be nude, unwind or participate, Katie shares, "You can find a quiet spot or join the pool parties - there's an amazing energy." Despite the anything-goes atmosphere, she notes that the retreat doesn't rely on booze to get the party started. "People don't get too drunk because it's about sex and alcohol doesn't help with that." She describes the event as liberating and relaxed. "If you're curious, you can come and see what you find. You don't have to swing but it's all there if you want it."
