Amanda’s Pearls of Wisdom

ON BEING HEALTHY – “I have to exercise every day. I’m a bit of a glutton, so I have to work it off. During the pandemic I couldn’t go to the gym, which I’ve always hated anyway, so I took up walking and now I do 10,000 steps a day. Sometimes I’ll be out for four or five hours and I love it.”

ON COVID – “The pandemic has changed me. Being at home for so long has turned me into a homebody. It has surprised me and certainly surprised my friends, but I just love being cosy at home now and I’m not so bothered about going out. Obviously, I’ve got my new hobby of cake-baking to keep me occupied.”

ON FILMING – “I love Sri Lanka. It’s where we film TheGood KarmaHospital and it’s one of the most magical places on earth. The people are kind, the sea is warm and the landscape is beautiful. My husband says he’s never seen me happier than when I’m working there.”
