Amanda Holden has revealed that her husband, Chris Hughes, complained about the number of pyjamas she owns after she admitted to being naked around the house most of the day. The 55-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge and Heart Radio presenter made the confession live on air on Wednesday, November 11.
During a chat with co-stars Jamie Theakston and Ashley Roberts, Jamie alerted her to a report that "sales of pyjamas are soaring." Amanda said she "loved" pyjamas and owned roughly 40 pairs.
Husband's Elmo comparison
Jamie continued to read: "Evenings in, surfing the internet and the number of people working from home has apparently fuelled this rise," to which Ashley joked: "Listen, it's not sexy out there."
"It's not, you need to be warm," Amanda chimed in before revealing that Chris had a complaint after she unveiled yet another new set of pyjamas at home.
"Chris my husband was actually having a go at me [about the amount of pairs of pyjamas she has]," she began, before adding: "Literally, I go naked around the house most of the day and then I wear pyjamas for bed and he says, 'You're like Elmo, Elmo is naked all day long and then puts pyjamas on for bed, why do you do it?'"
Previous candid admission
"But I think I probably have about 40 pairs of pyjamas," she added. "I like to have bottoms on, even if they're shorts." She then joked: "Good morning at 6.40!"
It is not the first time Amanda has made a candid admission live on air. Back in July, she revealed that her husband had filmed her naked on holiday as she tried to rescue her moisturiser. She explained that while nude and midway through applying the moisturiser, the bottle slipped and fell behind a unit in their hotel room.
"I was heaving and heaving this chest of drawers and I had to get behind the chest of drawers, literally by straddling it and climbing over it, I was fully naked," she recalled.
Amanda said she managed to retrieve the moisturiser but then could not get back out easily, eventually having to reverse her way out, with her backside coming out first. She then discovered that Chris had captured the entire episode on video, which she later shared with her followers on Instagram, ensuring her private parts were blurred.
Previously opening up about her long-term marriage, she said her spouse's great humour played a huge part in keeping the spark alive. "Chris is very funny and errs on the side of lightness," she told Hello! Magazine.
"We can make jokes out of any situation throughout the best and darkest times of our lives. He's rubbish at romance, but he's there for the solid things – such as keeping my car clean and making sure I relax. He's a proper bloke who looks after me. I'm a strong, opinionated woman, but he helps steer the Mandy ship," she added.
