Amanda Holden rages at husband Chris Hughes and admits they often argue over his late-night snacking

They’ve been married for over a decade and share two young daughters. 

And, Amanda Holden, 49, playfully admitted she has issued a warning to husband Chris Hughes after ‘catching him’ raiding the fridge in the middle of the night. 

Speaking on her Heart Radio breakfast show on Wednesday, the actress told her co-host Jamie Theakston her husband needs to ‘cover-up’ his snacking sessions after discovering he had eaten her cheesy puffs and Tiramisu. 

Amanda said: ‘My husband Christopher loves a snack. Often when I go into the kitchen I see him sort of standing in front of the fridge contemplating. He’s guilty of all kinds of crimes. 

‘Putting things back into the fridge when they’re empty. Yesterday, I really fancied a packet of cheesy puffs. I went in the snack cupboard and I thought “oh brilliant, there’s a whole pack of six in there”, empty. 

‘I know that’s Christopher. So this morning I come downstairs there is teaspoon covered in chocolate. A chocolate teaspoon. I’ve said to him before “if you don’t want me to know about your snacking habits, because I judge him on it, especially late at night, you have got to hide the evidence. 

After venting about her husband’s late-night snacking habits, Amanda said there would be retribution.

‘I’ve come down before, I’ve had buttery knives, crumbs, all kinds of things. I looked in the fridge and the Tiramisu was gone, the one I had been saving for tonight.

‘I left him a note saying let’s look at the evidence, shall we? He will be quivering in his bee box by the time I get home.  

Jamie replied: ‘He’s like a fox in the garden.’  

Amanda and Chris tied the knot in 2008 at Babington House, Somerset, two years after welcoming their first child.

The presenter and her husband share daughters Lexi, 14, and Hollie, 8, who they’ve been enjoying spending time with during lockdown.
