Scouse comic and TV game show host Les Dennis has talked frankly about his marriage, and subsequent divorce from cheating Amanda Holden in his autobiography.

Les was married to Amanda Holden when she cheated on him with fellow actor and star of Men Behaving Badly, Neil Morrissey.

Les Dennis mentions his appearance on celebrity Big Brother and how he was greeted by a recorded message from his then wife, Amanda Holden, upon his exit from the house.

The Liverpool Echo website has an extract from the novel.

When I came out of the house and Davina said Amanda has taped a message for you.

My heart filled with dread- she couldn’t even be bothered to do it live. Suddenly she was on screen, not alone but with two of her Cutting It co-stars. That was my defining moment. As viewers watched me watch her jabber on about my amazing honesty, the words ‘I love you and I’m proud of you’ never crossing her lips, I came to the final decision that this charade of a marriage was over.”
