It appears that TV presenter Les Dennis has chosen to play the gentleman and accept guilt for the breakdown of his marriage to Amanda Holden. The 49-year-old did not contest a "quicky divorce" application filed by his ex, although it cited his infidelity as the reason for their split.
The fastest way to get a divorce in Britain is for one spouse to admit adultery or unreasonable behaviour. Miss Holden's application stated that she learned of her husband's infidelity in January, when he was known to be dating PR executive Leoni Cosgrove.
Les only met Ms Cosgrove after separating from his wife, but he made no objection to her claim that the affair made it impossible for her to live with him. And the divorce papers did not cite Ms Holden's much-publicised affair with actor Neil Morrissey in 2000.
It took a judge at London's High Court just 75 seconds to grant the divorce. Normally, the party who admits infidelity is liable for the legal costs – estimated at £1,000 – but Amanda is expected to foot the bill in this case.
"The matter is entirely amicable and Amanda has nothing to say," said a spokesperson for the actress.
