Amanda Holden reveals she's given her husband a ‘pink pass’ for Rachel Riley

Amanda Holden reveals she's given her husband a ‘pink pass’ for Rachel Riley

She would understand if her husband wanted to date another woman

Amanda Holden recently revealed that she's given her husband a 'pink pass' to date one celebrity if he should ever get the opportunity.

Some relationships have 'the list' or that Americanism the 'hall pass', where you'll let your better half get with someone else because it's a chance they could never pass up on.

Of course, a lot of these lists are just made for fun and if you should ever meet a famous face your partner has said they're A-OK with you sleeping with, it might be best to err on the side of caution and assume they were joking.

Speaking in an interview with Joe Wilkinson and Jamie Theakston, Amanda Holden said that her husband Chris Hughes had a 'pink pass' for one person in particular - Countdown's number whizz Rachel Riley.

She said her husband has 'got a real thing for Rachel Riley' and she would 'allow him to take her out... for a coffee'.

While Wilkinson tried to work out exactly what that meant, Holden told him to 'work out the maths' and figure out the answer for himself.

However, to pour a bit of cold water on Hughes' dreams of having a fling with Riley, she herself is married and it would be quite improbable for her to have a pass of her own.

Riley and her husband Pasha Kovalev got together in 2013 after being partnered up on Strictly Come Dancing.

It's hard to imagine that they've sat down at some point to work out each other's lists and in that conversation Riley has said she wants a free run at Holden's husband.

We can't count it out as a possibility, but we just want to stress that it's an incredibly unlikely series of events.

The problem is Rachel Riley is already married and we don't know if Chris Hughes is on her 'list'.

Hughes is not Holden's first husband, as she previously married TV star Les Dennis after they met on a stage production of The Sound of Music in 1993.

Their marriage fell apart after she had an affair with actor Neil Morrissey, which she said she regretted, and Dennis said he knew things wouldn't last with Holden after a plumber mistook her for his daughter.

Both have said they've got no hard feelings towards their ex these days, though some reckon Dennis threw a bit of shade her way with a social media post.

Holden posted that she was in Paris on X, formerly Twitter, and soon afterwards Dennis put up a picture of him in a dressing room captioned: "Not in Paris. In Leicester."
