So that was hilarious.' Amanda Holden, 54, has addressed a wild rumour about her ex-husband Les Dennis and how he allegedly coped during their divorce Les himself addressed the rumour, describing it as 'particularly ridiculous' in a 2004 interview with the Independent (pictured with Amanda in 2001) Amanda was previously married to Les from 1995 until their 2003 divorce following her high-profile affair with Neil Morrissey Les himself also addressed the rumour, describing it as 'particularly ridiculous' in a 2004 interview with the Independent.  The affair also seems far-fetched given that the iconic singer has lived in America her entire life.  Les, now 71, said: 'Well, there've been a few, but there was one instance that was particularly ridiculous.' He explained that Jane Wall, an actress known for her roles in shows such as The Bill, had been living in his home at the time of his divorce from Amanda.   Les said: 'When she left, these two journalists chased her down the street in a car.  'The next day, the headline said that I was being comforted by pop diva Diana Ross.'  In the Tea at Four podcast, Amanda also opened up about the difficulty of repairing trust in a relationship once it's been broken. She said: 'If the trust's been broken, you have to repair the trust, and that can be tough.' Amanda went on to finding lasting love with Chris Hughes (pictured left), who she married in 2008, and they have two daughters together It brings together couples whose relationships ended with cheating - sometimes years later - to see if any of the romances can be revived Amanda said: 'When I was asked if I would host a relationship show on Netflix "surely I've reached the top of Everest now'" Because Netflix seems so out of our reach as British people Cheat: Unfinished Business is available to stream on Netflix now The comments below have not been moderated By posting your comment you agree to our house rules Do you want to automatically post your MailOnline comments to your Facebook Timeline Your comment will be posted to MailOnline as usual We will automatically post your comment and a link to the news story to your Facebook timeline at the same time it is posted on MailOnline To do this we will link your MailOnline account with your Facebook account We’ll ask you to confirm this for your first post to Facebook You can choose on each post whether you would like it to be posted to Facebook.

WATCH HERE: Britain's Got Talent reveal the semi-final lineup for 2025 Amanda Holden sparked the imagination of ITV Britain’s Got Talent viewers with her bold wardrobe choice during Saturday’s semi-final competition The 54-year-old presenter grabbed attention away from a controversial magic act and an 11-year-old guitar maestro during this weekend’s show. Holden opted for a lilac figure-hugging gown by Toni Maticevski, which featured an unusual asymmetrical fitted bodice with a plunging neckline. Ahead of the show, the fan-favourite judge showed off her semi-final outfit in a series of glamorous snaps and a clip posted to her Instagram. Holden had viewers distracted with her eye-catching wardrobe choice During the show itself, Holden’s dress choice became a subject of a cheeky jibe from her fellow judge, Simon Cowell, as an act interacted with the panel. In the early stages of Alexandria Burgio’s controversial magic act involving hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, the magician asked Holden if she could use her phone as part of the performance. Holden agreed under the desk to retrieve it, but appeared to have a little trouble with her dress, prompting her to say something off mic. "Be careful there, Amanda," Cowell quipped, seemingly implying the risk of a wardrobe malfunction to the delight of the other judges, with Bruno Tonioli guffawing off-screen. Cowell couldn't resist making a cheeky comment about Holden's dress A giggling but slightly guarded Holden appeared to shield her phone away from Burgio while she swiped on the screen. "No, don’t do that one," Cowell joked again, leaning over to peer at her screen, which amused the presenter. Burgio assured: "You all look smashing this evening!" Holden’s eye-catching dress proved to be just that, with viewers sharing their views on social media. One questioned on X: "Um what is Amanda wearing & how is it staying put?" "#BGT Amanda has a lot of scaffolding in her dress," another joked cheekily. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Amanda Holden (@noholdenback) Fans also were divided on the dress itself with one blasting: "Amanda's dress is horrendous She usually looks great but no to that dress love." another glowed: "Love the colour of Amanda's dress tonight #BGT." The debate comes as Holden faces backlash for her new Netflix gig Cheat: Unfinished Business which attempts to reunite former couples whose relationships ended due toinfidelity Hosted by Holden and relationship expert Paul C the show will attempt to have couples "face up to their past mistakes rebuild trust and move forward - either together or apart" The tricky subject matter prompted a string of responses with many baffled as to why Holden is willing to take part while others felt the subject matter was too "triggering" to be used as the basis of light entertainment Responding to Netflix's X account's promotion of the series one person strongly wrote: "You're contributing to the moral decay of society," followed by a thumbs-up emoji "This show is heartbreaking and VERY triggering how can you cheat on someone you 'love' and apparently consider your best friend #CheatUnfinishedBusiness," another penned WASHINGTON –Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) today applauded the release of his Memphis constituent Tony Holden from detention in Kuwait.  Congressman Cohen has sought his release with letters to the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States and to the U.S Congressman Cohen made the following statement: Holden released from custody in an apparent goodwill gesture by Kuwait I have closely followed his case and have been urging Kuwaiti officials to consider his request for a pardon Today’s release is the answer he and his family deserve.” Your access to this service has been limited If you think you have been blocked in error contact the owner of this site for assistance If you are a WordPress user with administrative privileges on this site please enter your email address in the box below and click "Send" You will then receive an email that helps you regain access Wordfence is a security plugin installed on over 5 million WordPress sites The owner of this site is using Wordfence to manage access to their site You can also read the documentation to learn about Wordfence's blocking tools or visit wordfence.com to learn more about Wordfence Click here to learn more: Documentation Generated by Wordfence at Tue, 6 May 2025 10:39:16 GMT.Your computer's time: document.write(new Date().toUTCString());. WATCH HERE: Amanda Holden explains her emergency trip to the vets after incident with pet pooch Amanda Holden has called on her vast social media following for help after a terrifying incident involving her family. The BGT judge and her husband Chris Hughes, who share daughters Lexie and Hollie, faced an "emergency" on Sunday night that saw them rush out of their home to the vets nearby. One of the family's two pooches, Millie, required urgent medical attention, with Holden revealing she was at the vets into the early hours of the morning. The emergency dash came just 24 hours after Holden appeared on-screen in Saturday's second live Britain's Got Talent semi-final of the series. Amanda Holden faced an emergency dash to the vets following a scare with one of her dogs Taking to Instagram on Monday, Holden recorded a video for her fans to share an update about the dash, but also call on their help. "Hello, this is a little bit of an appeal," Holden began. "I had to pop into the emergency vets last night. "Both of the dogs are absolutely fine now, thanks to North Surrey Veterinary Services in East Mosley," Holden assured viewers before continuing: "But while I was there, they showed me two dogs that desperately need rescuing. "This first one that you'll see a video of is a gorgeous little dog," Holden went on, as a clip of the canine in question appeared on her feed. "He was kicked quite badly in his hip (but) he's had his operation and he walks with a little bit of a limp. He's absolutely gorgeous. Super, super affectionate, and we loved him when we saw him. "He's between five and six and desperate for a forever home. He was abused, but he is confident." Amanda Holden and her two daughters, Lexie and Holly Holden wasn't done there, as there was another dog in need that she was keen to assist. "And the other doggie that was there that has been there since January is a lurcher, they've named him Messy," she explained. "He needs somebody who's got a lot of energy, who likes walking but in a household that doesn't have a cat. My heart absolutely broke." The BGT judge concluded: "I know there are amazing animal shelters up and down the UK. As you know, I'm an ambassador for Battersea Cats and Dogs Home, but these two absolutely stole my heart last night when I had to get Millie into the vets." Once again reiterating the state of her family pet's well-being, Holden signed off: "She's absolutely fine, but I wanted to say thank you to them... if you can give those doggies a home, I'd be forever grateful - and so would they!" Holden typed in the accompanying caption: "If you think you can help. Please contact North Surrey Emergency Vets. Moleseyvets@hotmail.co.uk. 0208 9791384. Att of Jackie / Grace. The small dog. (Yorkie ish) is called Chicken little .. at the moment. For your reference." (sic) Before long, fans and famous faces flocked to the comments to applaud Holden for raising awareness for the animals in need, despite having to face her own terrifying ordeal with her dog. "Thank you for using your platform to speak up for animals," one follower wrote in the comments. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Amanda Holden (@noholdenback) A second echoed: "Hats off to you for doing this Amanda xx." a third weighed in: "Bless you Amanda - thank you for being their voice and hopefully they will get a loving home like they deserve." A Place in the Sun and Homes Under the Hammer star Lucy Alexander also commented: "Awww beautiful dogs hope they find a home soon." (sic) This isn't the only time over the long weekend that Holden has had fans talking with many using social media to voice their thoughts on her BGT ensemble from Saturday evening Holden put on a rather risque display with her outfit choice for Saturday's semi-final, which even prompted co-star Simon Cowell to warn her to be "careful" Cowell too wasn't immune to controversy during Saturday's show coming under fire for his Golden Buzzer decision ITV viewers branded it a "waste" and "ridiculous" after Cowell used the Golden Buzzer to send 11-year-old guitarist Olly Pearson straight through to the show's grand finale Pearson will be joined by Stacey Leadbeatter in the finale after the budding singer finished top of the public vote on Saturday night a Tennessee-based American defense contractor soil after spending 902 days in a Kuwaiti prison on what supporters describe as baseless and politically entangled drug charges is being hailed as a major victory for diplomacy defense firm when he was arrested in November 2022 coerced into signing a confession in Arabic—a language he does not speak—and charged with drug possession and trafficking Despite testing negative and having no criminal background his case triggered a growing movement to bring him home His family alleges that Holden endured harsh conditions and psychological pressure while imprisoned Advocacy groups and elected officials rallied behind the campaign to raise awareness and push for U.S supported the family’s efforts throughout the ordeal The website FreeTonyHolden.com became a central hub for updates detailing the injustices surrounding his case and chronicling every step of the campaign to bring him home The site also shared disturbing details of how Holden’s confession was discredited by Kuwaiti authorities themselves who later admitted it had been obtained through coercion The White House played a key role in Holden’s release with his team—led by envoy Adam Boehler—spearheading negotiations with Kuwaiti officials this diplomatic push has secured the release of over 20 Americans from Kuwait many of whom were veterans or contractors entangled in similar legal situations Holden’s homecoming at Washington Dulles International Airport was emotional Holden later released a heartfelt video thanking Trump directly “You didn’t just help me—you saved my family including on social media platforms like Instagram praised the outcome as a testament to the power of advocacy and diplomacy “Tony Holden never should have been behind bars His return is a triumph over a grave injustice,” Cohen stated Stacia George of Global Reach echoed the sentiment: “Tony was wrongfully imprisoned Now begins the process of healing and rebuilding.” Holden’s ordeal is a sobering reminder of how quickly Americans can become ensnared in foreign legal systems—and how critical it is to maintain strong diplomatic channels and public advocacy. His story, now immortalized on FreeTonyHolden.com serves as both a warning and a call to action: never stay silent when an American’s freedom is unjustly stripped away The availability of Chevrolet badging for the Holden Commodore VF has led to some Commodore owners in Australia replacing their Holden badges with Chevy bowtie badges made for the Chevrolet SS. Another good reason for drivers of Holden Commodores to add a Chevy badge is the fact that the Commodore VF's engine is the 6.2-liter Chevrolet LS3 which debuted in the C6 Corvette and produced 415 horsepower in the Holden Importing the Holden Commodore VF as the Chevrolet SS was the brainchild of General Motors Product Vice Chairman Bob Lutz who had been in the post since 2001 and had previously done the same thing twice for the now-dead Pontiac brand The 2000s Pontiac GTO and the Pontiac G8 were Holden models that had been imported from Australia and rebadged to spice up the Pontiac product lineup GM would do the same for Chevrolet in 2014 with the SS an updated version of the dearly departed Pontiac G8 Log in to comment on videos and join in on the fun Watch the live stream of Fox News and full episodes Reduce eye strain and focus on the content that matters WASHINGTON (AP) — Kuwait has released an additional 10 American detainees bringing to nearly two dozen the total number freed by the country in the past two months officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday Kuwait’s pardons of 23 Americans since March — done as a goodwill gesture by the U.S ally — amounted to the largest release of U.S citizens by a single foreign country in years WATCH: Hostage negotiator Roger Carstens reflects on his efforts to bring detained Americans home include military contractors and veterans held on drug charges and other offenses by the small including one who was said by supporters to have been coerced into signing a false confession and endured physical violence and threats against his wife and daughter weeks after a visit to Kuwait by Adam Boehler who is serving as the Trump administration’s envoy for hostage affairs no one’s ever asked before at this level” for the release of the Americans The releases were not done as part of a swap and the U.S was not asked to give up anything in return and their view is the United States is a huge ally They know it’s a priority for (President Donald Trump) to bring Americans home,” Boehler said “I credit it to the Kuwaiti understanding that we’ve stood up for them historically and they know that these things are important for the president.” Kuwait is considered a major non-NATO ally of the U.S and Kuwait have had a close military partnership since America launched the 1991 Gulf War to expel Iraqi troops after Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait with some 13,500 American troops stationed in Kuwait at Camp Arifjan and Ali al-Salem Air Base But the country also has detained many American military contractors on drug charges Their families have alleged that their loved ones faced abuse while imprisoned in a country that bans alcohol and has strict laws regarding drugs Others have criticized Kuwaiti police for bringing trumped-up charges and manufacturing evidence used against them — allegations never acknowledged by the autocratic nation ruled by a hereditary emir A spokesperson for the Kuwaiti embassy in Washington didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment The Americans freed Wednesday “maintain their innocence and it’s important to note none of these cases had an identified victim and all of them were built on supposed confessions taken in Arabic without translation,” according to a statement from Jonathan Franks a private consultant working on cases involving American hostages and detainees who represented nine of the 10 people released He spent weeks in the country trying to negotiate the releases He credited the Trump administration for looking “for reasons to bring Americans home” even when they are not designated by the U.S government has having been wrongfully detained Among those freed Wednesday was Tony Holden an HVAC technician and career defense contractor He was working in support of Camp Arifjan at the time of his November 2022 arrest when his family and supporters allege he was “set up by corrupt Kuwaiti police looking to earn bonuses.” His supporters say his wife and daughter were physically threatened that he was coerced into signing a written confession in Arabic and that his drug possession charge and sentence came in spite of him testing negative in a drug test and abstaining for religious reasons from drug and alcohol use “We are grateful to see Tony Holden released today,” said Stacia George a nonprofit organization that has advocated for Holden’s release “Tony is an innocent man who was held unjustly for 902 days and this gives him the ability to come home to his family and restart his life.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “We celebrate his release and return to the United States.” A minor is also being released in the coming days but is expected to remain in Kuwait © 1996 -

McNamara announced via Linkedin on Monday that he has joined the General as GM Motorsports Supercars Racing Program Manager. According to a description, the role will see McNamara "leading and overseeing all competition aspects of the GM Supercars program, managing the relationship with the sanctioning body, and working with GM Motorsports to develop and execute plans to win races and championships in Supercars." It marks the latest effort by GM to remain a Supercars powerhouse from 2026, amid Toyota’s arrival and Triple Eight Race Engineering’s switch to Ford. In response to the big moves by Ford and Toyota, GM is re-establishing a local motorsport arm, and has been making some significant plays. GM’s Supercars plans from 2026, headlined by Team 18 being secured as the homologation team, will see Chevrolet squads form a more united front. Under the alliance of sorts, GM teams will share data and set-up information. The GM Supercars program will have access to GM's US resources, with Triple Eight technical guru Jeromy Moore also signing on to lead the engineering front. McNamara and Moore join the likes of Craig Lowndes and KRE Race Engines in signing on with GM. While Team 18 is the designated homologation squad, GM will take a direct role in the racing effort, with McNamara to serve in a crucial leadership role. McNamara led Holden Motorsport during from the mid-2000s to 2017, spending over two decades with the brand. He was pivotal in helping Holden achieve championship and Bathurst success in a decorated period for the brand, and was also a key player in bringing Triple Eight across from Ford in 2010. After leaving Holden, McNamara has held roles at AFL club Western Bulldogs, sports management group DSEG and business management firm SolutionsWon.

There were no doors, just an electro-hydraulic canopy that rose and slid forward, the two bucket seats rising and falling with it. It came equipped with a navigation system described then as the “Pathfinder automatic route indicator”, rear vision monitor through on-board camera, and oil-cooled front disc brakes. They have become production reality, along with the Hurricane’s other than-mind-boggling innovations like automatic air conditioning. The project was called RD001 and was claimed to be safety-based; at the time Holden was building seriously underbraked 350 cubic-inch V8 street-legal Monaros for racing. The PR spin was that it would help apply aerospace techniques and materials to future Holdens. Well, no journalist ever drove the car, although a few of us did get a proving ground punt in the later Torana XU-1-based GTR-X coupe, of which just two were built. After a few motor shows the Hurricane vanished, to be recovered at the last moment from a council tip site sometime in the 1970s. In 1991 nine apprentice mechanics at Holden’s Port Melbourne training centre were given the job of restoring the Hurricane with a new five-litre V8, steering, brakes, and electricals. It was repainted metallic silver – but still only a few engineers have ever driven it. Drive, 1 May, 1997 It seems almost inconceivable that a revolutionary concept like the Holden Hurricane was nearly lost for ever to that most Australian of institutions, the council tip. Not once, but twice. The first time came in the early 1970s when Holden’s then chief engineer, George Roberts, gave the order to have the striking metallic orange wedge cut up and dismantled, an evisceration that would have robbed Australia’s automotive culture of one of the most forward-thinking and visionary concept cars ever made. Its salvation came at the hands Holden’s then design chief Leo Pruneau, who, having heard of Roberts’ destructive directive ordered the Hurricane to be crated up and hidden in Holden’s design studio, away from the prying eyes of Roberts. It resurfaced in the mid-1980s, underwent some minor repairs and after a new coat of – now Asteroid Silver – paint, was placed on display at the Holden National Motor Museum in Echuca, Victoria. Following its stint touring the country (it also formed part of an exhibition at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum), the Hurricane once again disappeared into the bowels of Holden HQ, languishing and gathering dust in some forgotten corner. The Hurricane resurfaced in the early 2000s and once more faced oblivion, this time at the hands of a group of Holden apprentices who were about to send the shining wedge-shaped beacon of Aussie design to the council tip. Luckily for us, it was given a second stay of execution and in 2006, at the behest of GM’s then global head of design, Ed Welburn, work began on restoring the Hurricane to its former glory. It wasn’t an easy task, with many of the Hurricane’s original components broken beyond repair or in some cases, missing entirely. Much of the interior needed to be rebuilt from scratch while the original 4.2-litre V8 had also gone walkabouts. It needed replacing as did the wheel trims, the steering wheel, gauges, the brake fluid reservoirs, and even the pioneering rear-view camera. The body itself was rebuilt, Holden’s restoration team opting for a more modern polyester-resin fibreglass over the original’s epoxy-resin material. And the original Hurricane’s metal-flake orange paint was also recreated, sampled from a tiny sample found adhered to a piece of sticky tape attached to an original wind tunnel scale model of the concept car. The restoration, carried out by a volunteer team of Holden’s designers and engineers who undertook the work after hours and part-time, took over five years, the final result unveiled to the public in Melbourne in 2011. The Holden Hurricane in all its restored glory, now lives on permanent display at Australia’s National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia, a testament to the vision and ingenuity of a small group of designers and engineers from a far-flung outpost of General Motors.

He oversees the Police Department, Dispatch Center, Parking Services, Customer Care Center, Emergency Preparedness Lock Shop and contract security for special events He has also served as a guest speaker and instructor in local criminal justice courses academies and various police and community events I knew it would be demanding,” Holden said “But what’s surprised me most is how much of the job is about mentorship and relationships I tell my team all the time — a helping hand is more important than handcuffs It’s a role that requires a little bit of everything crisis management and sometimes just being a familiar face people can trust.” Holden said the department is dedicated to enhancing campus safety upgrades and has secured grant funding to support those initiatives The Police Department has also expanded officer training to emphasize that public safety involves not only enforcement but also community engagement and effective problem-solving Although Wright State’s campuses are considered safe Holden emphasized that public safety involves both statistics and community perception “If a student doesn’t feel safe walking across campus at night Holden is committed to improving Wright State because it’s been “a huge part of my life,” he said “The best part of being here is the people,” Holden said “Wright State isn’t just a campus — it’s a community I see that every day in the way students support each other and how faculty and staff are committed to their success Wright State’s Boonshoft School of Medicine is ranked #1 in Ohio for producing primary care physicians in the 2025 Best Graduate Schools rankings from U.S. News and World Report.
