The television personality doesn’t turn 50 until Monday, but Heart FM couldn’t resist hosting an early birthday celebration for Amanda. 

Back in 2018, Amanda was involved in a hilarious age spat with Simon Cowell, after he jokingly threw her a 50th birthday party.

Amanda was left red-faced when Simon claimed she was slightly older than her 47 years, dubbing that her ‘work age’ as he threw her the surprise bash.  

Amanda immediately protested: ‘Oh my god, I’m only 47.’

But Simon immediately quipped: ‘I think we all know, in the entertainment business we have what we call the ‘work age’ and then we have the real age.’

Amanda furiously said that she ‘f*****g hated’ Simon, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon, before eventually blowing out the candles on her lavish 50th birthday cake.  

It’s been a busy year for Amanda even though she’s not been able to judge Britain’s Got Talent after the show was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bosses of the show said that despite the efforts of the teams at ITV, Thames and head judge Simon’s Syco, they were forced to call plans off.

They said: ‘With our absolute priority of safeguarding the well-being and health of every person involved in the programme from judges, hosts and contestants to all of the crew and audience, the decision has been made to – unfortunately – move the record and broadcast of the 15th series of Britain’s Got Talent to 2022…  

‘Safety has to come first and, as a result, the recording of the show can’t currently go ahead as planned.’

However despite missing out on this major earner, Amanda has managed to have a strong 12 months in which she launched her album, Songs From My Heart.
