Okay.

Yeah.

But I think people might think, oh, is that real? Because it happened so quickly.

But it didn't happen quickly because we had a big break.

Yeah, of course.

Series one.

And then by the fall, you know, because we finished filming, you know, spring and the end of spring going into summer.

i don't think so especially on housewives and what about you amanda

So I do feel

like that is what's happening.

We're on this process of discovery, you know.

But, you know, we all deeply care for each other at the end of the day.

And sometimes we butt heads and sometimes we don't see eye to eye.

And, you know, this season, you know, there is a bit of a change up with some of the friendships.

And I think that it's all very real and very authentic.

us?

Yeah

... my divorce process.

I definitely made a pact with God, if you get me through this difficult time, help me with this, I'm going to commit to growing my faith.

So that's a deal that I did, and I've been true to that.

So yeah, I'm in church every Sunday, HTB in Brompton Road.

Um, the Church of England has gone through a process of revival- So the churches today are not dusty and austere and serious.

[laughs]

So I had my first breast augmentation in my early 20s, encouraged by my agency.

So does the show, does Real Housewives allow you then to kind of take it seriously and do the work involved, but it's in a kind of, I guess, a more entertaining environment? Is that fair?

Well, I know that when I got approached for the show, once I had my contract, you know, I'll sit on a contract for a while.

Because once you've signed that thing, yeah, you're locked in.

You're locked in, yeah.

So I was zooming and R-ing, is it good for me? Will it be good for my family, you know, for my brand? And I definitely sat on it for a couple of weeks.

And then I just remember, you know, one of the big execs, Heidi, she's like, come on, Amanda.

You know, everyone else is signed.

Seek out this level of drama or is it specifically just when you're in those situations with those other girls, then that's when all the sparks are? No, I live a very...

How do you think that career journey influenced your role in the show and the season that we've seen going into this one as well?

Well, work is a big part of my life.

This is a reality show.

So you do see me hosting an amazing event in series two.

I talk about work all of the time, not because I'm trying to be pushy or push my brand or my work on anyone, but I work very, very hard.

So I'm very passionate about my brand and what I'm building.

So You know, this is the stage of life that I'm in.

brilliant and amanda there was a lot of mystery and a bit of intrigue around your um story in series one do you feel like that was understood by viewers and can you share what we can expect from this next series with some of those personal moments with you
