The Men Behaving Badly star had a five-week romance with the BGT judge while she was married to Les Dennis.

Press revelations about the relationship in 2000 led to the breakdown of the marriage, and Amanda and Family Fortune host Les divorced in 2003.

In 2014, Neil told Piers Morgan’s Life Stories that he still “accepts the guilt”.

He added: “There were some hateful things said in the paper, but you know how it turned out — it should be tomorrow’s fish and chips paper.

“But people still talk about it.”

Neil, 61, has now brought it up again on the Restless Natives podcast with Line of Duty actor Martin Compston and Gordon Smart.

Asked what three pieces of life advice he would share with listeners, Neil said: “Don’t f*** the wind.

“A gentleman’s socks should always match his shoes. Don’t screw the host’s wife.”

Martin broke down in fits of laughter.
