Claire Nicholson: Last News

Amanda Holden and Les Dennis married in 1995 in Bournemouth after meeting during a theatre production of The Sound of Music.

The line-up for 2023’s Strictly Come Dancing has been announced, with Les Dennis being named as the final contestant to hit the dancefloor.The TV presenter, 69, confirmed rumours that he would be appearing on the celebrity dance show on Good Morning Britain, where he told hosts Ben Shephard and Ranvir Singh how “thrilled” he was to be putting on his dancing shoes. "I'm thrilled to be doing this iconic wonderful show as I approach my 70th birthday! In my career, I’ve always gone for challenges outside my comfort zone and this is the ultimate one! Can’t wait," he said on the show.

Family Fortunes presenter Les Dennis is in a good place when it comes to speaking about his ex-wife Amanda Holden.The 52 year old Britain's Got Talent panelist infamously cheated on Les, 69, with her Happy Birthday Shakespeare co-star Neil Morrissey, which after a media storm brought an end to their five-year marriage. Since then, both parties have found love again and remarried (Les with Claire Nicholson and Amanda with Chris Hughes), but it's not always been plain sailing emotionally for Les, who even took a swipe at Amanda just a few months ago. While speaking to The Sunday Times, though, that sense of resentment seems have dissipated for the comedian, telling the publication: "Amanda was in the papers recently, saying some nice things about me.That was very kind of her.

WHEN she first laid eyes on comedian Les Dennis 40 years ago, Sherrie Hewson thought she'd found her future husband. It didn’t matter that they were both already married to other people, the Benidorm star, 71, was convinced that one day they would end up together.
