Amanda Louise Holden (born February 16, 1971) is a British actress. She made her television debut on Blind Date but was not the girl chosen by the suitor.
While a student, she rode naked around Bournemouth on a scooter for £20.
She married the comedian Les Dennis in 1995, but separated from him following an affair with actor Neil Morrissey. These events made her a popular target for the British tabloid press. The pair were divorced on 18 November, 2003.
Amanda Holden has appeared in several stage musicals, and in 2004 was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance in the West End production of Thoroughly Modern Millie.
