I have four, but it's Jack Nicholson."

Chatting with her radio co-hosts, Amanda confessed she had a "real crush" on the movie star back in the day, and humorously remarked that she sounded "so posh" during her younger years.

Fans didn't hold back their opinions on her ever-evolving style.

One commented: "You literally haven't aged. What a little cutie." While another posted: "Aged beautifully - and still looks completely natural. A rarity nowadays!"

A third chimed in with: "Gosh! She did have a nice posh accent. Love it." Meanwhile a fourth added their praise: "She looked great back then but - OMG - she looks amazing these days. She's aged very, very well."

Another joined the chorus of compliments, saying: "Like a fine wine. Gets better with age." Yet another admirer commented on her timeless appeal, adding: "Timeless beauty."

Amanda first graced our television screens on Blind Date in 1991 and, by 1997, she was making audiences laugh as part of the Channel 5 sketch show "We Know Where You Live", working alongside Simon Pegg, Fiona Allen and Sanjeev Bhaskar.
