She said: ‘So I got home from LA, no one noticed in my family, apart from my child, who was with me, who just couldn’t get over it.
‘I dropped so many hints and my husband just didn’t notice. Anyway, Holly was losing her mind because she was obviously present for the tattoo moment, which didn’t hurt and took less than 30 seconds.
‘In the end, we told Chris, and he had all three reactions that I said he would.
‘First, he said it looks fake. Second, he said it looks naff. And third, he said, “Oh, what’s going to happen next? Where else are you going to get one? What else are you going to do? And now the children are going to want one,’” is what he said.’
‘It’s two little hearts next to each other to symbolize my two children. But I’m going to do another little one at the bottom.’
Explaining her spur of the moment decision to get the inking, Amanda said: ‘I was in Los Angeles with my daughter Holly last week for half term to see my best friend, who’s lived out there for 20 years and I also caught up with other friends that now live out there.
‘I was having a cup of tea with my friend Sarah, and she was squashing a tea bag in her cup when I noticed [she had a tattoo] and I decided, I am going to do that’.
She continued: ‘Anyway, I go for dinner with friends and we were there with Holly, Freya and Jack, the children. And I said to Jane, look at what Sarah’s done to herself. And Jane was like ‘Oh my gosh this is fabulous’ I said, ‘let’s do it.’

Speaking on her Heart Breakfast radio show Amanda revealed she already knows where she wants a second tattoo after dedicating the first to daughters Lexi (L) and Holly (R)
Explaining her spur of the moment decision to get the inking, Amanda said: ‘I’ve always been wholeheartedly against them and we got in the car, and we went and found a place and got a tattoo’
‘She went, ‘you’re kidding’ and I said, ‘I’ve always been wholeheartedly against them.’ And we got in the car, and we went and found a place.
‘I can say that in this place, there was a bar and for some reason, a big pole in the middle of the room, but in the corner was the person we needed to see.
‘We went over to this person, and he could fit us in, and we both did exactly the same thing. We both had a tattoo.’
Following her radio show, Amanda made a very stylish departure from Heart FM wearing an eye catching all pink outfit.
The mum-of-two turned heads in a pink satin shirt which she tucked into a pair of matching wide legged trousers.
Amanda draped a coordinated wool coat over her shoulders as she stepped out in a towering pair of pink stilettos by Christian Louboutin.
The blonde beauty styled her long tresses in a neat ponytail and opted for a pair of chunky black sunglasses and gold jewellery.
Amanda was all smiles as she made her way to her waiting car following showing off her new tattoo.
