In an interview with Express.co.uk, she discussed the reasons behind her exit from the show,.
At the time of her exit, Amanda revealed that she had gotten pregnant with her eldest daughter, Willow Rose.
She said: “It was all, sort of, quite organic because I was pregnant with Willow, and A Place in the Sun didn’t get recommissioned, so they didn’t want it for a couple of years.
“And by the time it came back, Willow was three and a half, and she was in nursery, and I had a load of other commitments.
“I just thought, I’m not taking her out of nursery, I’m not taking her out of school, I’m not leaving her for three weeks at a time.
She continued: “So the decision was kind of made for me.”

Away from A Place In The Sun, she has appeared on shows like The Games, Harry Hill‘s TV Burp, and Pointless Celebrities.
