Looking the part
Amanda takes great pride in her appearance, something she knows will serve her well if she wants to stay on TV. ‘Age plays a factor. She is already a fitness buff and will step it up, but will improve on her looks, tighten and tone every muscle if needed,’ reveals our source. ‘She plans to get herself noticed. She has plenty of tricks up her sleeve.’ Like the rest of us, Amanda has her downtime, but she’d rather go for a run than relax on the sofa. ‘I can’t stand gyms, but I like to run for an hour a week,’ she admits. Her looks clearly matter to Amanda, who recently said, ‘Although I look after myself because I care about my appearance, my main motivation for eating well and exercising is because I’m an “older mother”.’ She’s also confessed that she ‘doesn’t see the point in growing old gracefully’ and owns up to having Botox. ‘It’s like cleaning your teeth – maintenance,’ she says. Our insider says that Amanda is of the attitude, ‘If Madonna can do it, so can I. If it’s a re-brand that’s needed, that’s what they will get.’
