What TV shows has Amanda Lamb starred in?

The TV presenter became a fan favourite on A Place In The Sun, when she was on the show from 2001 until 2009.

In 2023, Amanda revealed that her departure from the show was ‘organic’.

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.” 

During the interview, the TV star also talked about how she missed being a part of A Place in the Sun.

Amanda said: “I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it because it was such a big part of my life. It kind of launched my career.”

However, the property expert teased that she could make a return to the much-loved property show when she said: “I might be doing something with them this year.”
