Amanda Holden's ex Les Dennis makes 'dig' at Britain's Got Talent judge after sultry snap

Amanda Holden's ex-husband Les Dennis has seemingly made a "dig" at the Britain's Got Talent star after she posted a sultry photo of herself on Instagram. The 52-year-old posed in a red silk mini dress as she shared a glimpse into her time in Paris with her followers.

Radio host Amanda draped herself over a grand piano for one snap, which she captioned "Making Whoooopie", in reference to The Fabulous Baker Boys. The 1989 film features a scene in which Michelle Pfeiffer's character sings "Makin' Whoopee" atop a piano.

Amanda's fans could not get enough of her Paris spam, the Liverpool Echo reports, with many commenting the "fire" emoji. Amongst her influx of posts from her time in the City of Love was a candid photo of her laughing at a bar, which she captioned with the hashtag "Paris".

Just hours after Amanda's post, her ex-husband, Les Dennis, 65, appeared to make reference to her break. Sharing a mirror selfie, the comedian wrote: "Not in Paris. In Leicester."

Amanda tied the knot with Les back in 1995 after the pair met on the set of a stage production of The Sound of Music. At the time of their big day nearly 28 years ago, Amanda was 24 and Les was 41.

The couple parted ways in 2000, following Amanda's highly publicised affair with Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey after they appeared in the BBC film "Happy Birthday Shakespeare". In an interview with the Daily Mail, Amanda shared the impact the break up had on her.

"I brought it on myself, I appreciate that, but nothing will ever be as bad again," she said. "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."

After Amanda's affair, she and Les briefly reconciled, before splitting for good in 2002. Addressing the age gap between her and Les, Amanda told The Times that she "doesn't know" if she was looking for a father figure in Les.

"I don't know because I’ve never done therapy, but there is a sort of safety in a relationship like that," the singer admitted. "I was very young and I had a lot to learn about life."
