Amanda Holden and Les Dennis married in 1995 in Bournemouth after meeting during a theatre production of The Sound of Music.
The celebrity pair tied the knot when Amanda was just 22, and he was 40, subsequently parting ways in 2002, following Amanda's affair while starring in BBC's Happy Birthday Shakespeare.
The pair spent time apart and attempting to re-spark the flame, however, in the end, the celebrity couple filed for divorce in 2003, by which point they were both in new relationships, reports the Mirror.
Despite the marital affair had by the Britain's Got Talent judge, Les allowed Amanda to claim his adultery on the divorce papers in order to speed up the process.
Claiming it was his 'affair' with an anonymous woman that made him 'intolerable' to live with.
The Strictly Come Dancing star met PR executive Leoni Cotgrove in January 2003, while Amanda was dating music industry boss Chris Hughes.
During the time of the couple's split, 32-year-old Amanda shared a heartbreaking confession about the pair's relationship and why she was so sure about moving on.
She said she was 'very broody' and could see herself having multiple children in the next couple of years. "I terribly want children but I didn't want to have them with Les," Amanda explained.
"That's a horribly brutal thing to say, but when you do, you know you have to move on."
She also admitted at the time, that it was her who finally suggested getting a divorce.
Now, both sides are reportedly on civil terms and Amanda is now remarried to her current husband, Chris, welcoming two daughters Alexa 'Lexi' and Hollie in 2006 and 2012.
Les also went on to remarry, and now shares two children, daughter Eleanor and son Thomas with his third wife, Claire Nicholson.
