Amanda Holden revealed who was her first kiss during Heart Radio Breakfast on Tuesday morning.
The presenter, 53, was quizzed by Ashley Roberts about her first romance on the show and left the former Pussycat Dolls singer shocked by the brutal feedback she gave him after the smooch.
Amanda said: ‘I mean, this poor guy, honestly, his name comes up all the time, if he’s listening. I’m really sorry. Matthew *******.
Or it could have been Thomas *******. It was one of them, Anyway, and it would have been at the Dynamos discos. The dynamos were a football team in Bishops Waltham, and I remember telling him he kissed like a slug.’
Ashley replied: ‘Oh no! That would have stuck with him forever’.
Amanda told her: ‘I think he’s happily married with lots of children now. I’m a distant memory.’

Jamie Theakston, meanwhile, revealed his first kiss was at a house party.
He said: ‘Mine was at a house party under a table in the kitchen under a table. Yeah, that was mine. Yeah. There was a buffet. There was a buffet on top, and there was a little tablecloth that covered it, so no one could see, so that’s why we went there.’
Ashley recalled of hers: ‘ Mine was after school and in a wicker chair, because that’s what we have in Arizona so hot you can’t have regular furniture. It was with Darren ******. I’m getting hot just thinking about it. We were nervous. We’re like, we’re doing this. We’re doing this?’
Amanda is now happily married to Chris Hughes and recently upgraded her £40,000 engagement band from 2008 to a £200,000 ring.
A source revealed her record producer husband Chris Hughes bought it ‘as a little upgrade for Christmas’.
Diamond expert Zack Stone, of Steven Stone Jewellers, told The Mail on Sunday Amanda’s new ring will have cost in the region of £200,000.
‘The oval ring with yellow gold band and platinum head with hidden halo looks to be six to seven carats in size and the cost likely to be £200,000,’ he said.
Her first engagement ring – from 2008 – was, according to the diamond expert: ‘Two-and-a-half carat, emerald-cut ring roughly around £40,000’.

The couple – who live in a £7 million mansion in Surrey with their two daughters, Lexi, 18, and Hollie, 12 – met in Los Angeles in 2003
Amanda celebrated her 16th wedding anniversary to Chris last month, sharing a gushing media post of their Christmas-themed wedding day held at St Margaret’s Church in Somerset.
She wrote: ‘Sixteen years ago today I married the love of my life. Twenty-one years together and I still fancy the pants off him.’
The couple – who live in a £7 million mansion in Surrey with their two daughters, Lexi, 18, and Hollie, 12 – met in Los Angeles in 2003 but only started dating a year later after reuniting during London Fashion Week.
Their 2008 star-studded wedding reception was held at exclusive private members’ club Babington House in Somerset, with guests including double Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, Gavin And Stacey creator James Corden, singer Mick Hucknall and broadcaster Piers Morgan.
In 2019, Amanda said of her marriage: ‘Chris is very funny and errs on the side of lightness. We can make jokes out of any situation throughout the best and darkest times of our lives.
‘He’s rubbish at romance, but he’s there for the solid things – such as keeping my car clean and making sure that I relax. He’s a proper bloke who looks after me. I’m a strong, opinionated woman, but he helps steer the Mandy ship.’
Prior to meeting Chris, Amanda was married to TV presenter Les Dennis from 1995 to 2002.
