She became an almost instant icon on TV at the end of last year and now Amanda Lovett from The Traitors is all set to party with fans in Newcastle as a city centre bar goes all out for Easter weekend.
When it launched on the BBC slap bang in the middle of the World Cup, little was known about The Traitors, but it quickly became the show everyone was talking about, as fans went wild with their reactions on Twitter and speculated on what might happen.
With Strictly star Claudia Winkelman as its host, The Traitors became the post-Covid equivalent of 'water cooler TV,' as viewers rushed to exchange opinions with their mates over drinks or in WhatsApp groups.
Picked by Claudia on day one to be a Traitor, many people thought self proclaimed Welsh dragon Amanda was going to go all the way and win, only to be thrown under the bus in savage style by her accomplice Wilf, before he ended up being found out in a last ditch twist in the final, after KIeran's famous 'parting gift' to the Faithfuls.
While she didn't get her hands on any of the prize money, Amanda looks set to be the biggest star to emerge from series one and has already appeared as a star at the recent Drag Con event in London. She has also established herself as a real gay icon and has been busy meeting revellers at G.A.Y in Manchester and The Two Brewers in London.
And, before long she will be at Bobby's in Newcastle, as the Scotswood Road bar hosts BobFest across Easter weekend., Full plans on what the event will entail are still to be confirmed, but one thing for certain is that Amanda will be there as the festivities get going on Thursday, April 6.
Entry will be free, although you're advised to get there early as Bobby's is sure to be rammed full of people keen to meet Amanda.
She isn't the only BBC star to be announced for BobFest either. as Drag Race UK queen Scarlett Harlett will be a guest act the following evening on Good Friday,. April 7.
