Amanda's slinky anniversary dress was very different from the gown she chose for her winter wedding back in 2008. The TV star looked beautiful in a sleeveless Elie Saab gown with a scattering of sequins and a champagne tone, which she re-wore to watch the royal wedding in May 2018 - and again to mow the lawn during lockdown!

Amanda and Chris met in Los Angeles in 2003 and went on to get married on 10 December 2008 at St Margaret’s Church in Somerset before hosting their reception at Babington House, an exclusive member’s club and hotel.

Opening up about her big day, Amanda wrote in The Sun in 2017: "I still get goosebumps when I remember how happy I was walking down the aisle towards him knowing I was about to become his wife."

She added: "I was determined it would be a white winter wedding, but I wasn’t prepared to take a chance on the weather, so I hired a special effects company to spray the grounds with artificial snow. As Chris and I emerged from the church as husband and wife, faux snowflakes came fluttering down. It was so realistic, and you know what they say in showbiz – fake it till you make it!"
