Amanda Holden once sparked rumours of a potential romance with Frank Skinner by sending flowers to his dressing room.
The 53-year-old has openly expressed her admiration for the comedian, frequently mentioning him in conversations with her husband Chris Hughes "at least 10 times a day".
However, Frank, 67, spilled the beans on the speculation during an appearance on Heart Breakfast with Amanda and Jamie Theakston, revealing that colleagues thought there might have been a spark between them.
During the interview, the Three Lions singer recounted to the Britain's Got Talent judge: "You sent me flowers for one of my West End performances." He added: "Anyone who came in, I said, 'Amanda Holden sent me those', and they all went, 'woo! '. Let 'em wonder, I thought!"
Amanda's Heart FM co-star Jamie was intrigued, asking Frank: "Did you quash those rumours, or...?" Frank then cheekily said: "No, I didn't. I fanned them."

His previous marriage was to Lisa Jones, a 19-year-old student from Halesowen College where he was a lecturer when he was 33. It ended within a year, and he later had it annulled.
Amanda tied the knot with Chris in 2008, with ex-Formula One driver David Coulthard playing the role of best man. Her first marriage was to comedian Les Dennis, they separated in 2002 and divorced the following year.
