Amanda Holden, 54, dazzles alongside her 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.
And music producer Chris proved his wife is not the only ageless one as he showcased his jet black locks and extremely smooth complexion.
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.
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
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.

Butterfly theme, Nicola's dress & Instagram snaps… all Brooklyn & Nicola Peltz's savage wedding renewal digs at Beckhams
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GAZING adoringly into each other's eyes, the secret 'second wedding' of Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham may be their most savage move yet. The nuptials, to which none of the Beckhams were invited, have been labelled 'deliberately provocative' and straight out of 'the Prince Harry manual'. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 The secret 'second wedding' between Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham may be their most savage move to date Credit: Instagram/brooklynpeltzbeckham 8 The nuptials are likely the snub that severs his ties with family once and for all 8 Nelson Peltz officiated the ceremony Credit: Instagram And it could be the snub that severs Brooklyn's ties with his famous family, including parents David and Victoria, once and for all. It would seem that every part of the couple's vow renewal — from the butterfly theme to the chosen officiator and the dress, which Nicola splashed all over Instagram — was a blow to Posh, Becks and their other kids Romeo, Cruz and Harper. They will need to rely on cringeworthy 'wedding' snaps posted online for a glimpse of the hype on Brooklyn's big day, including one photo featuring a topless Nicola with her mum Claudia Heffner. In it, the 'bride' wears only a pair of skimpy knickers and presses her boobs against her former fashion model mother's back. One follower said it gave her 'the total ick' and looked 'more like a mum & daughter OnlyFans shoot'. It was captioned with clinking champagne glass emojis and six swans, which symbolise wisdom, love and grace. Some suspect it could be a veiled dig at the Beckhams. 'No way back' Conspiracy theorists reckon it might reference Brothers Grimm fairytale The Six Swans, in which a king's daughter is forced to remain silent for six years to free her siblings from a witch's spell. That story of love, sacrifice, perseverance and the power of inner strength against the odds is, according to some, similar to Nicola and Brooklyn's situation. Others believe the butterfly theme at the couple's reception could hold meaning as it traditionally symbolises rebirth, transformation and freedom — hinting that the Beckham chapter is firmly closed and there is no way back. Watch the moment Brooklyn Beckham 'proposes' to Nicola Peltz before vow renewal And it certainly seems the road for a return could be blocked, with all of Brooklyn's nearest and dearest noticeably absent from the lavish vows do at the Peltzes' Westchester County mansion. Nepo baby pals Rocco Ritchie, Jack Ramsay and Anais Gallagher were also missing from the guest list. Not even Brooklyn's adored godfather Sir Elton John, who tried to act as peacekeeper, was there. Instead, it was Peltzes galore, including Nicola's six brothers, and surprising invitees including A-list actor Adrien Brody, fashion designer Alexander Wang and Katy Perry's hair colourist Daniel Moon. Fans noted the awkward array of pals and that the groom wasn't even centre-stage in one picture, writing: 'Brooklyn looks like a guest at his own 'second wedding'.' In fact, the only 'friend' there seemed to be Jeremy Clerc, who owns an assisted living business and featured in a 2020 Instagram post captioned, 'love you guys'. So it appears to be a case of out with the old UK pals, and in with the rich red, white and blue. It's a clear sign of who Brooklyn, 26, now prioritises and considers his new inner circle. PR guru Mark Borkowski tells The Sun: 'He's swapped the Brit pack tribal connections for Nicola's billionaire bubble. 'It's a move straight from the Prince Harry manual — ditch the old circle, live in your spouse's world and curate a new reality.' Tensions have escalated between the Peltz-Beckhams and Brooklyn's family since the couple first tied the knot in a lavish £3million affair in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2022. A source told Entertainment Tonight that Nicola, 30, was 'thrilled to marry Brooklyn' again on August 2 'because their wedding didn't go the way she imagined due to family drama'. This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It's gone beyond all that A source It followed claims that Victoria hijacked the first dance at the original nuptials after Marc Anthony, who was performing at the event, invited her on to the stage — referring to her as 'the most beautiful woman in the room'. The source added: 'This time, they didn't have to deal with outside opinions on what Nicola wore, first dance issues or general struggles to control things.' The insider claimed the couple 'focused on their own happiness' instead of trying to 'make everyone happy'. But Brooklyn's family did not know a thing about the renewal until it featured on a US news site, according to another source. 'This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria,' they said. 'It feels cruel and spiteful. 'This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that.' 8 A-listers including actor Adrien Brody, middle, were in attendance Credit: Instagram 8 Not a single member of Brooklyn's family was invited to the lavish affair at the Peltz's £17million Westchester County mansion Credit: Instagram The Beckhams now 'see no way back' and question whether the couple will 'revert to Peltz' and ditch their surname altogether, the source revealed. Brooklyn is incredibly close with his wife's brood and even had the renewal officiated by her billionaire father Nelson, 83 — said to be 'heartbreaking' for David, who feels replaced. They are ostracising Brooklyn's family in another push away. They seem to be saying, 'There is no way back' Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings Nicola's captions on two of a stream of pictures focusing on the occasion included, 'this day meant so much to us' and, 'only love', which deepened the wound even further. 'Imagine being the parents of Brooklyn and seeing this, so heartbreaking,' one follower posted after seeing the snaps. Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings says the service and subsequent pic-sharing looked like a 'deliberate provocative gesture'. She told The Times: 'They are ostracising Brooklyn's family in another push away. They seem to be saying, 'There is no way back'.' In fact, neither Nicola nor Brooklyn has extended an olive branch this year in spite of peacemaking attempts by David. They did not wish either of his parents a happy birthday on social media, but gushed, 'we love you' on Nelson's big day in June. And they did not even congratulate David on his much yearned-for knighthood. In fact, the last photo featuring the couple with the Beckhams was shared on Boxing Day. In the eight months since, Nicola has posted a total of 415 pictures and videos — not one including Victoria, David or any of Brooklyn's siblings. There was no, 'You were missed' in picture captions from the vow renewal, unlike David wrote when his son skipped multiple celebrations for his 50th birthday, including one nearby in Miami. And the perceived digs do not end there. Speculation surrounding the family rift was further fuelled by Nicola's butterfly-adorned reception dress — which some think was a snub to Victoria, who has her own fashion brand. 8 'Cringe' pic shows a topless Nicola with her mum, Claudia Heffner Credit: Instagram 8 Peltz in a butterfly theme, said to represent freedom Credit: Instagram Indeed, it was the latest in a string of 'wedding' outfits Nicola has worn which did not come from her mother-in-law's label. This time she upcycled the gown her mum wore as a bride in 1985. Spectators have called it Nicola's 'revenge dress' after she claimed Victoria had offered to design her original gown — then allegedly 'blanked her for days' before saying her firm couldn't do the job. Despite the hurt, none of the outfits that Nicola wore over her weekend-long wedding celebrations in 2022 were by Victoria's label. Instead, the model, who 'was painted as a brat' over the alleged fiasco, opted for a Valentino Haute Couture wedding gown, a trio of Versace numbers and a Dior bridal suit. And this time, Nicola was clearly doubling down by wearing two non-VB outfits. Imagine being the parents of Brooklyn and seeing this, so heartbreaking Brooklyn's appearance may also sting for his family — as of his 100 tattoos, 70 are dedicated to Nicola and her family, including her late grandma Gina. He also camouflaged a 'mama's boy' tattoo on his heart with flowers. It's yet another sign of Brooklyn's life being overtaken by the Peltzes, which likely leaves the Beckhams feeling sidelined. Mark Borkowski says the vow renewal ceremony was more like 'a soft launch for the Peltz brand' than a touching family reunion and that the Beckham name was 'parked at the . . . diamond-encrusted gates' of the billionaire Peltzes mansion. It seems Brooklyn's family were not even referenced and played no part in the event. Ditching 'the Beckham dynasty', which Mark considers a 'golden ticket', is risky. But Brooklyn seems unfazed as he is drawn deeper into his wife's family. In a video posted by the wannabe chef in May, he called wife Nicola 'my whole world', adding, 'I always choose you'. There's no doubt where Brooklyn's loyalties lie now. And after his controversial vow renewal, the door back to the Beckhams appears very much nailed shut. 8 Claudia Heffner and Nelson Peltz on their wedding day

Yungblud reveals heartbreaking message Jack Osbourne sent after Ozzy Osbourne's death
Yungblud has revealed the sad message he received from Jack Osbourne after Ozzy Osbourne's death and confessed to his dream as he opened up on his friendship with the late rocker Yungblud has shared the devastating text message Jack Osbourne sent him after Ozzy Osbourne's death. The singer, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, had forged a strong bond with the Prince of Darkness and his family before the star died aged 76 last month. The 28-year-old rocker had been a part of Ozzy's epic Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park last month just weeks before the Black Sabbath frontman passed. And he even gave him a unique and personal gift on the day, repaying his loyalties. Now, he has described the " weird" couple of weeks that have followers Ozzy's passing. "You get to know someone personally, who you love. And then they leave," he said. READ MORE: 'Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon couldn't put each other down during photoshoot' Speaking to the Sun, he added: "I was texting him, then his son Jack texted me and said, 'He's gone.' I'm like, 'What?' 'Being around the family and being at the funeral, the amount of love there. That family are real as f***k." And Dominic revealed his dream would be to echo the Osbourne family away from the cameras. "The dream is to have kids and a family like that," he confessed. "There's no gimmicks. It's authentic.' He had previously admitted he has found the death of his mentor "overwhelming" after previously declaring the star as "the greatest of all time" in a touching tribute. The chart topping singer candidly explained that the sudden death of his friend has been hard to process. He told The Times:"I told a friend that I thought Ozzy had another five albums in him. And then he did the show and then he died. It's so overwhelming." "I just love him and right till the very end he supported me. I get emotional, because I've loved him since I was about two." And he added: "He taught me self-belief and so I'm going to take his spirit and make sure everybody knows for the rest of my life who Ozzy Osbourne was - he meant everything to me." The report also explained that the singer learned of Ozzy's death while he was on a remote island without internet access where he had been recording new music. Yungblud took to Instagram to shares candid photos of himself chatting to and smiling alongside wheelchair bound Ozzy in a touching tribute online following his death. He wrote alongside the snaps: "I didn't think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don't. "I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. "You took us on your adventure - an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time." On Tuesday evening Yungblud was also joined by his mum on the red carpet for his upcoming documentary film. He took his mum Samantha Jane Harrison as his date for the London premiere of Yungblud: Are You Ready, Boy?

Love Is Blind UK star unrecognisable from days before bodybuilding in unearthed snaps
Throwback snaps have seen the star almost unrecognisable A Love Is Blind star looks unrecognisable in throwback pictures taken before their bodybuilding stint and reality TV appearance. The popular Netflix dating show is back for season two after its huge success last year. A brand new group of hopeful singles are all taking part in the unique experiment in the hopes of finding their life partner. But basing their bond on emotional connections, it is only when they decide to get engaged will they meet face to face. After going on "dates", secluded in their own pods, it is hoped the participants will find the one without the initial physical attraction. And the new series has been back with a bang, with the first four episodes being released today (August 13), already bringing relationship drama and love triangles. But there is one star who is almost unrecognisable from his old throwback pictures. Gym Owner Kal is 32-year-old hailing from Wigan and he hopes to find his future wife on the show. Despite having relationships in the past, none have lasted longer than a year. His dad is Pakistani and his mother is English and he is part of a large, close-knit family. But seeing two of his brothers happily married and one with a baby has spurred him on to find a girl he can build a future with. On the show, Kal is seen building a connection with Sarover, who was born into a modern Indian family and has never dated outside of her ethnicity. Despite this, and despite not being Kal's "type", the two seemingly hit it off as they date within their pods. As a gym owner, Kal is in quite good physical shape and often takes to his Instagram page to share his own physical improvements. One old post is him during a body building competition, posing and showing off his muscles in an incredible transformation. In another post, Kal praises his fitness journey as he showed where he was then compared to an even older photo. He wrote: "So glad I started training .... wow." Kal made his Love Is Blind debut today as the first four episodes were released. But fans will have to wait until next week to find out what is in store for the gym owner.
