In a recent update to Instagram she stripped down to a bikini and jumped on a horse and vowed to ‘ride out the storm’ of negative comments.
Speaking to Jane Moore on the ITV talk show, Amanda said: ‘Since becoming 50 I have had a reawakening, and having teenagers helps.
‘I feel invigorated and like I have reinvested myself. It’s something that I have missed.’
She added: ‘The internet got off lightly because I could have gone full Lady Godiva. I was having one of those days where I was feeling really strong.
‘I put it out there not expecting it to get the reaction it did, but you can’t please everyone.’
