Amanda Holden flashes her legs in a saucy leather skirt with thigh-high split

AMANDA Holden showed off her toned legs as she left work today in a stylish leather skirt with a thigh-high split.

The TV and radio star, 49, brightened up a glum day in the capital with a pearly white smile on her way out of Heart radio studios in Leicester Square.

Amanda paired the skirt with a glittery multi-coloured top and covered it with a sophisticated faux fur coat.

She finished the classy look with dark shares and stilettos.

Yesterday Amanda paid an emotional tribute to her 'gorgeous and clever' husband Chris Hughes on their 12th wedding anniversary.

The Britain's Got Talent judge gushed about Chris in a sweet post on Instagram.

The mum-of-two looked stunning in a plunging pink top with her matching bikini peeping through in the shot.

She smiled as she posed next to Chris who looked relaxed in mirrored sunglasses.

Amanda wrote: "Almost 18 years together and married 12 today.

"I literally couldn’t live my life without this hilarious, gorgeous, clever man- he is the best Daddy and our foundation! - My Chrispy... love you darling x."

The couple's celebrity friends were the first to congratulate them.

Ruth Langsford wrote: "Happy Anniversary love birds!"

Myleene Klass wrote: "Goals."

Keith Lemon chirped in: "Congratulations."

Chris, a record producer, met Amanda in 2003 in Los Angeles but they only started dating in 2004.

He is Amanda's second husband. She was previously wed to TV's Les Dennis.

They now live in Richmond-upon-Thames with their two daughters Alexa, 14, and eight-year-old Hollie.

The couple have been through ups and downs during their time together.

Amanda's world fell apart when she suffered a heartbreaking stillbirth in February 2011.

Amanda sadly lost their baby son Theo when he was stillborn at seven months.

She has more recently opened up about her personal tragedy, after John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen lost their son too.

There had been an outpouring of love towards the couple after they made the sad announcement on social media from celebrities and fans.

One fan wrote on Chrissy’s Instagram post: ‘"In Lebanese culture we believe babies like Jack are angels that God selectively chooses to watch over you. Sending you light."

Amanda responded: "This is how I dealt with my loss x." The follower who made the original comment replied: "You’re blessed with an angel now. Hugs!"
