She ditched the London social scene for a weekend away in Manchester.

And on Saturday, Amanda Holden looked the picture of contentment as she stepped out for a lunch date at the upscale San Carlo restaurant with her husband Chris Hughes.

The 44-year-old presenter dressed her slender frame in tight denim pants and a black leather jacket, while her partner looked coordinated in jeans and a grey jumper.

Out and about: Amanda Holden looked the picture contentment as she stepped out for a lunch date at the upscale San Carlo restaurant with her husband Chris Hughes on Saturday

Speaking on This Morning on Monday, Amanda revealed that her sister, Debbie, is trapped on Mount Everest following the devastating earthquake, which hit Nepal over the weekend.

The TV personality said her sibling managed to contact the family to say she was safe after a 7.9-magnitude quake struck Kathmandu on Saturday, killing more than 3,700 people.

'It's awful, I can barely speak,’ she confessed. ‘I'm still quite numb. It's hard to take in what an awful situation it is in Nepal.'

Amanda went on to explain how her sister had not reached Everest Base Camp, where a deadly avalanche hit, because she was suffering from altitude sickness and had stopped off to recover.

'Very luckily she is at a place that is the last camp before you get to Base Camp one on the south side,’ she added.

'There was only four of them left at that camp. Because my sister was suffering so badly from altitude sickness she didn't walk up to base camp – which potentially might have saved her life.'

The mother-of-two said there was a possibility that Debbie had been airlifted from the mountain this morning or could even have walked back down.

Speaking later on Sky News, Amanda said her sister had sent an e-mail saying that she had made it safely to another camp further down the mountain.

Appearing close to tears, she explained: 'We are extremely lucky. I'm dying to hear her voice.'
