But now she has something else to reveal — that ITV show bosses have installed a committee of bigwigs to check out her chest area and sign it off before the cameras start rolling each week. This week there were hundreds more grumbles to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom over her latest low-cut ensemble. But in an exclusive interview Amanda laughs off the latest controversy — and vows to keep wearing what she loves.
Do you think maybe I should get them insured? I might let them go on Life Stories. The record has been a labour of love over several years, and sees her perform her favourite tracks from the West End stage, as well as a duet with Sheridan Smith. And thirdly 'Jack' needs to learn some people skills and have a glance at the Oxford English dictionary As I frequently do with small British business [sic].
Amanda is the owner of two beautiful homes; a lavish pad in Surrey and a country retreat in the Cotswolds — both of which she shares with husband Chris Hughes and her two daughters, Hollie, seven, and year-old Lexi.
Speaking previously about her interior style, year-old Amanda explained it was important for her house to feel like a home, saying: "We have two little girls and I don't want them feeling that they're treading on eggshells. Our dining room is now Chris' bar. We have record awards and an electric guitar on the wall, plus a huge picture of a girl in a spacesuit and a useless Pacman machine!
The back windows are big and I love seeing the sun streaming in through them while the cat sleeps on the rug. It has an amazing dressing table where you press a button, and a mirror rises up and lights up. It's very camp and I just love it!

My husband recently tracked down a clip of me playing Millie, and it reminded me of how much fun it had been. So when my agent asked me if I fancied doing another musical because they were seeing people for Shrek, I said "Yes" straight away, not least because it's a massive franchise in our house, as you'd expect with a five-year-old daughter.
I never usually tell people when I'm going for an audition but I stupidly said to her, "Mummy's going to see if the man wants me to be Princess Fiona today," and every day after that for weeks she kept saying, "Oh Mummy, when will the man know if he wants you to do it? We both have the same agent. She popped open champagne at 10 in the morning. No, my agent. My daughter Lexie does occasionally dip her finger in my bubbles but she says she prefers wine, which is a bit worrying.
God, I sound like Katie Price. But she — my daughter — is truly delighted about me being Princess Fiona. Every picture she draws now is of me in the role with a green face and horns. Next year it is going to be 20 years since I have been in the business, can you believe it?
I was always singing when I was little, always. I had a little tape machine and I'd join in with Julie Andrews. Doing this has brought back that kind of joy for me again. How does that feel? I'm the old bag in the middle. That's how everyone sees me, isn't it?
But it's been a completely different experience and it is a completely different show this time with Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff. It is so much more relaxed. Because as much as I am dear friends with Simon and Piers it has almost been more fun without them. I'm the boss now and I don't have two egos to tiptoe around.
Piers has such a command of the English language that he had already used every blinking adjective I had in my head before I opened my mouth. And Simon used to make his bitchy remarks so that all that was left for me to say was, "Yes, I loved you, you're through".
