"At times I just wanted to bugger off to Spain and retire — to run away from all the pain. I certainly wasn't interested in another serious relationship.

"Claire, who worked in HR and now looks after our finances, was a lovely person and, yes, I did ask if she wanted to go out for dinner, but it was nothing more than me being polite."

The couple then married in Highgate, North London in 2009.

How many children does Les Dennis have?

Les has three children, which includes two children with Claire - Eleanor Grace and Thomas Christopher.

He is also dad to a grown-up son, Philip Heseltine, from his first marriage.

Speaking in his In his 2008 book Must The Show Go On?, Les said: “Being an older dad I want to be there for my kids… I want to be here when I am 100.

“They are the most important thing to me. I have to fulfil the responsibility to my kids.”

However, the couple split temporarily in 2000 when Amanda’s affair with Neil Morrissey was exposed, before eventually divorcing in 2003.

It meant Les was handling a tough time when he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2002.

Les later admitted the reality TV appearance was “not his wisest move”.

Again in his book Must The Show Go On? he confessed it was while inside the famous spy house he realised his “charade of a marriage was over”.
