Holden posted the picture ahead of their "date night" and her comment section was flooded with messages about her husband's youthful complexion. She wrote: "Date night (except the girls are with us) so... Date night with the girls #family."

Her followers swarmed and one wrote: "He totally does NOT look his age.. I forget how old he is but he's older than her," while another fan gushed: "Your hubby looks about 19!"

A third swooned over the 51-year-old and wrote: "Your hubby looks like a prince from a Disney movie. You look like a princess. Beautiful couple." Another admirer added: "Beautiful couple you both look so young," before signing off with a kiss.

Yet another commenter couldn't resist pointing out Chris's luscious locks: "Your husband really does have the most fantastic hair. When you get on a bit, and you're balding, you really do get jealous of men with amazing hair."

Amanda has been candid about her romance with Chris, previously praising his ability to steer clear of drama, reports the Mirror.

She discussed her husband's chill demeanour and explained: "Chris and I have always been able to find humour in the darkness. He doesn't dwell on drama. Sometimes people don't get his humour and I'll say to him, 'Leave the room, you're not reading it very well.'".

"There's no wokery in our house. We don't hold anything back, and we have strong opinions. We try to have a date night every Thursday when we go to the theatre or have dinner, or we lock the door and watch Netflix and the kids just have to do their own thing."


"He's a busy person as well so I get butterflies thinking about seeing him. We also wind each other up something chronic, but that's why we've been together since 2003."

Amanda also likened having a husband to dealing with another teenager when she mistakenly put an expensive garment in the washing machine, causing her husband to "hit the roof".


"Yes it is basically, another one. I just scoop them [his clothes] up, I'm sick of it, I just scooped them up and put them straight into the washing machine."

"He comes up and he goes absolutely nuts at me, 'Oh my God why can't I leave anything where I want, without you...' and I said, 'If it's on the floor it's going in the wash!'" she explained.

"Anyway hung up, in our room where the washing machine is, is a hoodie and on the back is a huge picture of Animal from The Muppets playing the drums, and that is the top he was worried I had ruined."
