appeared to poke fun at his ex-wife in a surprising post over the weekend.

The pair before separating temporarily in 2000 after Amanda’s affair with actor was revealed.

Les, 69, and Amanda, 52, split permanently in 2002, divorcing in 2003 with Amanda marrying husband , 69, in 2008, and Les tying the knot with Claire Nicholson, 50, the following year.

And now, Les has seemingly taken aim at Holden in a cheeky social media post.

It comes after Amanda shared some snaps from a break in Paris, including one where the Capital FM Breakfast host looked stunning in a red dress while sitting at a bar.

The star can be seen sipping a cocktail in the picture, captioned: ‘Sortie sortie #Paris #schoolmums.’

Following the post, Les cheekily snapped some photos of his own looking away from the camera in the same pose as his ex-wife.

‘Not in Paris. In Leicester,’ he wrote in the Twitter post as he posed in his slightly less luxurious dressing room while touring then UK with musical 42nd Street.

It seems there is no bad blood between the pair, with Les that led to their breakup.

Speaking on the , Les spoke about starring in pantomimes alongside late actor Mickey Rooney and how theatres would play Christmas songs, including Frank Sinatra’s Have Yourself A Merry Christmas.

However, this didn’t go over well, with Mickey, as Les explained: ‘Mickey would get very angry, because of course, Frank Sinatra ran off with Ava Gardner (Mickey’s wife).’

He joked: ‘It would’ve been like me having to listen to Bob The Builder every night,’ referring to the fact Neil voiced the famous animated character for 14 years.

Amanda has also previously spoken about the breakdown of her marriage, saying she ‘brought it on [herself].’

‘I brought it on myself, I appreciate that, but nothing will ever be as bad again,’ she told The Daily Mail.

‘It was a very dark time. It got to the point where I felt I could hardly breathe.

‘Les proved to be my saviour. Ironically. So the person I’d hurt the most in the world was the one who was there for me.’

Neil apologised for his part in the affair in 2014 during an appearance on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, saying he felt sorry for how he ‘dealt with the situation.’

‘I feel sorry for how emotional Les seemed to become. It was very difficult for him and for that I’m very sorry,’ he continued.
