Amanda Holden shows off first ever tattoo as husband Chris says it's 'naff'
Amanda Holden has unveiled her first ever tattoo - much to the dismay of her husband Chris. The Heart Radio presenter, 53, proudly displayed her new inking on today's breakfast show after jetting back from a Los Angeles holiday.
The Britain's Got Talent judge was delighted with her two small hearts, which represents her two children Hollie and Lexi. She disclosed she's planning to add a small third heart at the bottom, possibly in memory of her son, Theo, who was sadly stillborn in 2011.
Amanda was in the US with her 12 year old daughter Hollie for half-term, where they caught up with her best mate. Amanda shared with listeners: "I was having a cup of tea with my friend Sarah, and she was squashing a tea bag in her cup when I noticed something about her.

"I noticed something about her person that I was so shocked at but thrilled for her because this is something she'd always wanted to do. And I was like 'Oh my gosh Sarah, I am going to do that,' and she says, 'you must do that'.
"Anyway, I go for dinner with Jane, and we were there with Hollie, Freya and Jack. "They're all children - I say children, they're old. And I said to Jane, look at what Sarah's done to herself.
"And Jane was like 'Oh my gosh this is fabulous'. I said, 'let's do it'. "She went, 'you're kidding' and I said, 'I've always been wholeheartedly against them'. And we got in the car, and we went, and we found a place."
The tattoo shop they stumbled upon used to be a bar, complete with a massive pole in the centre of the room. However, upon her return home, her family didn't notice the two heart tattoos she'd had etched onto her wrist.
"I dropped so many hints," Amanda confessed. "I was, you know, obviously my husband just didn't notice. And then yesterday, obviously my 18-year-old is home, I made a roast dinner.
"I was pretending to mop my brow because my tattoo is actually just on my wrist. Because, you know, I was sort of slaving over a stove as I was talking to Chris.
"I had my hand like that, just nothing. Anyway, Holly was losing her mind because she was obviously present for the tattoo moment, which didn't hurt and took less than 30 seconds."
Amanda confessed she anticipated Chris's negative reaction, and it unfolded exactly how she thought it would. She said: "First, he would say, it looks fake. Second, he said it looks naff. And third, he said, 'Oh, what's going to happen next? Where else are you going to get one? What else are you going to do? And now the children are going to want one,' is what he said."
