Les Dennis cuts a low key figure as he’s spotted riding the London Underground
Les Dennis was spotted this week making a gloomy figure while traveling on the London Underground.
The actor, 69, donned a lavender shirt which he wore over a black tee and paired with alabaster trousers.
He tucked his feet into comfortable sneakers and carried his essentials for the day in a black backpack.
Les, who is going on tour in the 42nd Street musical, stopped to read a poster on the platform before jumping into the carriage as he sat down and scrolled through his phone.
Earlier this month, Les said he had forgiven ex-wife Amanda Holden for cheating on him during their marriage.

The actor. 69, married the Britain’s Got Talent judge, 52, in 1995 when she was 22 and he was 40, before finally splitting in 2003.
After five years of marriage, it emerged that the couple had gone their separate ways amid Amanda’s highly publicized fling with actor Neil Morrissey, 60.
Les is now candid about his feelings for his ex in a new interview, saying he’s “glad she’s happy.”
Speak against The times, he said, “Amanda was in the paper the other day and said some nice things about me. That was very nice of her.
“Maybe with time she’s been able to look back and see things differently. We’re not in touch, but I’m glad she’s happy.’
He added: ‘I can watch Britain’s Got Talent without getting angry. Honestly, it’s like I’m looking at a different person, someone I’ve never met.’
Les concluded, “All the pain that happened has been healed.”
The pair began their fling when they worked together on the 2000 film Happy Birthday Shakespeare, with Amanda later admitting that their relationship was all about “sex.”

At the time, many speculated whether the age difference between Amanda and Les was the cause of their problems.
And while Amanda and Les later reconciled before finally breaking up in 2002, she recently insisted that she had no idea if she was looking for a father figure in the funny man.
She said The times: ‘I don’t know because I’ve never done therapy, but there’s a kind of security in a relationship like that.
“I was very young and I still had a lot to learn about life.”
Speaking of her marriage and affair, she previously told the Daily Mail: “I did it to myself, I appreciate that, but nothing will ever be this bad again.
“It was a very dark time. It got to the point where I felt I could barely breathe.

Les turned out to be my savior. Ironic. So the person I hurt the most was the one who was there for me.”
In 2013, Amanda opened up about her affair with Neil Good housekeeping: ‘I don’t believe that women have affairs for no reason.
Rightly or wrongly, Neil got a lot of stick. I feel like it was my fault – I was the one who got married.
“I want to change the general perception of him because he was very caring and very loving and very concerned about me losing so much weight. He used to cook for me, take care of me and look after the dogs.’
In 2014, Neil finally apologized to game show host Les for the affair he had with his then-wife Amanda.
The star, who has previously said he has not apologized to Les, made the confession on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.
He said, “I feel sorry for the way the situation was handled and I feel sorry for how emotional Les seemed to get. It was very difficult for him and I am very sorry.’
