Woman caught up with actor, presenter, and BGT judge Amanda, 51, who has been married to music producer Chris Hughes since 2008. The couple share two daughters, Lexi, 16, and Holly, 10.
How do you stay in such amazing shape?
I did gymnastics for years and I think I’m still lucky enough to have a body that gets back into shape quite fast. Or I just breathe in when I stand up to go to the toilet.
Do you work out a lot?
I go running and I love my yoga. I’m a vegetarian so that probably helps. I love wine and cocktails but I eat well. I think my mum still looks amazing. My sister’s got a good figure and my nan lived until she was 97 and always had a petite figure, so I think a lot of it is to do with genes. For me, looking good is a matter of self-preservation. I’d be like this whether I was in the media or not. I’ve always cared about how I look and I think it’s a dignity thing.
What’s your ideal night out?
It depends on who it’s with. I love going out for cocktails with the girls, and having a gossip. If I’m with my husband we’ll go for a lovely meal, but if we’re with friends I know he’s thinking, ‘At what point am I going to have to throw her over my shoulder and carry her out?’ I’m mindful of that and I’m probably better behaved.
Who’s in your close circle of friends?
