| • | "Sitting in the suite of a luxurious Leeds hotel, Amanda pauses to take a sip of water and light a cigarette ... She lights another cigarette ... Apart from food Amanda's other main indulgence is smoking, which she has tried in vain to quit. 'I smoke like a trooper, I wish to God I didn't', she moans. 'I started at 15. I do envy and admire people who can just stop. I've tried everything - acupuncture, hypnotism - you name it, I've tried it, but it just didn't work. The only time I gave up was when I was pregnant with Emily. But then my blood pressure soared and when I went for a check up with my obstetrician he actually said, 'I want you to start smoking, but no more than ten a day'. I actually smoked about five a day and it made it easier. ... being pregnant was just not for me. I didn't enjoy it at all. The very first thing I said when Emily was born was, 'Give me a fag and a gin and a tonic'", The Mirror (UK), Jan. 15, '00 |

My obstetrician took my blood pressure and it was so high - I was so stressed out - he said: 'Go back!' I had five a day at the most. But the first thing I wanted the minute she was born? I said: 'Give me a gin and tonic and a fag!"', The Mirror (UK), Feb. 11, '00

Her character was pregnant, and she was still wearing her false 'bump' off-set. Amanda said: 'I had this brilliant prosthetic bump which even had a belly button. The really weird thing is, when I put it on, I would be holding and protecting it. We were doing some exterior shots one day, and there I was, fag in one hand, stroking my bump with the other.' She told Zap magazine: 'What the public thought when they caught sight of me is anyone's guess'", Ananova, Feb. 21, '02

I've had acupuncture and hypnotherapy three times, but it hasn't made me quit. Apart from that, I am pretty healthy'", The People (UK), Sep. 7, '03 |
