Speaking about the IFTAs audience being a particularly tough crowd after Laura Whitmore and Simon Delaney were blasted for their performance last year, Amanda doesn’t seem fazed by the pressure.

“It’s interesting because that was the only time that they had ever had technical difficulties in all of the 12 years, and people you know have mentioned it, but in 11 years it has been absolutely perfect.

“Every live show has a glitch every now and again. It’s going to be a brilliant and fun night,” she assured.
