Amanda Holden has previously admitted her regret over her affair behind Les Dennis’ back - but insisted that all women cheat for a reason.
Holden, 52, and Dennis, 69, were married between 1995 and 2003, having met on a stage show production of The Sound of Music.
They tied the knot when he was 40 and she was 23, but ended up splitting in 2000 after her affair with Neil Morrissey was revealed, becoming officially separated in 2002 before divorcing a year later.

Their past resurfaced over the weekend when Holden posted a photo at a bar, captioning the snap: “Paris.”
A few hours later Dennis, shared a picture of his own from his dressing room, writing: "Not in Paris. In Leicester."
The post - which stemmed from the fact he’s currently in the historic English city starring in the musical 42nd Street - has since gone viral, with many people seeing it as a hilariously light-hearted swipe at his ex-wife.

Holden has previously spoken out about the fall-out from her affair with actor Neil Morrissey, best known for starring in Men Behaving Badly, saying it was the ‘worst time of her life’.
Speaking to the Express in 2009, she said: “I found the fall from grace incredibly hard to deal with.
“I can’t bear not to be liked. Then I had an affair and overnight turned into this awful person.
“There are no hard feelings with Les. I wish him the best but we’ve both moved on.”

Holden also told the Daily Mail: "I brought it on myself, I appreciate that, but nothing will ever be as bad again. It was a very dark time. It got to the point where I felt I could hardly breathe.
"Les proved to be my saviour. Ironically. So the person I'd hurt the most in the world was the one who was there for me."
Holden married her second husband Chris Hughes in 2008, and now has two kids with the record producer.

In another 2013 interview with Good Housekeeping, the Britain’s Got Talent judge also defended Morrissey, who she says ‘got loads of stick’ at the time.
She said: “I don’t believe women have affairs for no reason.
“Women don’t seek sex - we seek love and affirmation. If a woman has an affair, there is normally a problem in their marriage. Neil rightly or wrongly got loads of stick.

“I feel like it was my fault - I was the one who was married.
“I want to change the general perception of him, as he was very caring and very loving and very worried about me because I lost so much weight. He used to cook for me and look after me and babysit the dogs.
“We were thrown together when I ended the marriage, or at least moved out. Our relationship continued longer than it would have done had we not been so in the public eye, because we had no one else to turn to.”
