Episode Description from the Publisher

With four weddings and four divorces under her belt, Real Housewives of London star Amanda Cronin is aiming to be the next Elizabeth Taylor. Here, she tells us about her life – from her own glamorous granny to her “disappointing” divorces, giving up booze, sleeping pills and Xanax, and finally finding her peace in the church, as well as why lunch is the better choice for a first date. In this candid conversation with Siobhan Wykes, Amanda opens up about rebuilding her life after divorce, why she stepped away from relationships to discover who she was without a man, and the surprising role faith has played in her recovery. She shares the terrifying melanoma diagnosis that changed her outlook forever, her honest views on cosmetic surgery, Ozempic, ageing and why looking glamorous is about self-worth rather than vanity. Amanda also reveals why she’ll never use dating apps, what she really looks for in a man, her daughter’s brilliant first-date advice, behind-the-scenes stories from The Real Housewives of London, and why every woman should invest in herself before anyone else.
