Biography
Amanda Lamb was born in Portsmouth[1]. She worked as an estate agent and part time as a barmaid for five years and then became a model. She is of English ancestry.
Modelling
In 1994 she took over the role of the "Scottish Widow"[2] from Deborah Moore (daughter of James Bond actor Roger Moore) who launched the first ever Scottish Widows advertising campaign in 1986. Amanda was once asked by David Bailey to glide across the screen wearing roller skates in a scene which never made it to the final cut[3]. Amanda's final advert and her favourite was called "The Lighthouse", when after ten years she was replaced in 2005 by Hayley Hunt, a 22-year-old model from Surrey[3].
In 2008 Amanda was picked by Ortak[1]to model their Autumn jewellery collection.
Television career
In 2001, Amanda became the main presenter of the Channel 4 programme "A Place in the Sun." She also presented "Hot Shots", an Epson funded programme shown on Discovery Real Time on digital photography which was produced by Twofour. Each programme in the series featured a different photographer teaching a group of amateurs tricks of the trade, and is notable as being the last television appearance of Patrick Lichfield.
She competed in the reality television show "The Games" in March 2006. Amanda then returned to filming "A Place in the Sun," in which she still appears.
She currently co-hosts the cookery programme "Market Kitchen" (UKTV Food) and regularly appears on "The Wright Stuff" (FIVE)
