Amanda Holden admits her rarely-seen husband is 'worried' about her

Amanda Holden's husband is concerned about her cycling 250 miles over the next five days to raise money for charity.

The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge is taking on the challenge of cycling from her mum's house in Cornwall to the Heart radio studio in London in five days this week to raise money for Global's Make Some Noise appeal and Amanda -who is married to Chris Hughes- has shared that her husband is "losing sleep" about her taking part in the challenge.

Amanda, 53, told The Sun newspaper: “Chris hasn’t been able to sleep.

“He woke me up the other day and said, ‘Do you know what you’re wearing?’ And then he’s like, ‘I don’t think we’ve thought this through. I’m really worried about you.'"

Amanda also shared that Chris - who she has been married to for nearly 16 years - will be meeting her at the end point.

She added: “He’s even promised to meet me at the end.

“Chris hates attention and he hates being on camera but he wants to meet me at the end. He never worries about me but I think he really is.

“He told me, ‘Normally I look forward to it when you’re not in the house but now I am really worried about you.’”

The annual appeal raises money for small charities across the UK, including those supporting mental health and domestic abuse helplines and community projects.

Amanda said: “With Global Make Some Noise, 100 per cent of your donation goes to the actual charity and it supports all of the tiny, community charities that really struggle for money. That why it’s so special to me.

“I’ve always said we put our arms around these charities and make them feel wanted and just support them.

“Some of these charities are so new and young and often they are born from people experiencing real tragedy in their lives.

“They make a positive impact and a difference. I’m all for that.

“You know, if everyone who was listening to Heart Breakfast donated a pound we would make millions.”
