Her tour, National Traitor, kicks off on March 17. Having already made appearances at G-A-Y in Manchester and Glitterbomb, Amanda has received rave reviews.
G-A-Y said: “Everyone had the best night. Amanda’s energy radiated around the entire venue, it was a fabulous night.”
The Swansea Valley born star recently spoke at the 2023 Gaydio Awards, where she teased a return to reality TV. She said: “I’d love to do a reality TV show where the public vote rather than getting banished or murdered.
“There’s a lot of irons on the fire at the moment with TV so yeah, I’m not going anywhere.”
Speaking on being embraced by the LGBT+ community, she added: “I’ve been embraced by a family and a community that I’ve never experienced before.
“I’m in a bubble of love and I’ve really found my place - so don’t kick me out. For people to feel they really love me for me is truly immense.
“I feel like I belong for the first time in my life. I feel like I’ve been running all my life, or not knowing where I’m going and all of a sudden I’ve hit the finish line and I know where I am.”
During her time on the hit show, it was Amanda’s job to ‘murder’ her fellow contestants. For a time, it seemed she would get to the final with no issues - becoming an instant hit with fans due to her scheming ways and killer one-liners.
Despite her cunning skills, she ultimately fell at the hands of her co-conspirator Wilfred Webster. You can find out more about Amanda’s tour dates and get tickets here.
