The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge was a guest at Piers Morgan's 50th birthday party and did allow herself to indulge in a few drinks but she insists it's a rare occurrence for her to enjoy a tipple because she gets tipsy easily.

Amanda - who stands at 5ft 5in - said: "I barely drink, because I'm quite petite and I don't handle booze very well. Two or three drinks and I'm gone. Although I had a great time at Piers Morgan's 50th, though - we stayed until 5am and I danced all night. You know when you dance like no one can see you? Piers is very sweet - I know I probably shouldn't like him, but I do."

The 44-year-old star lives with her husband Chris Hughes and their two daughters, Alexa, nine, and Hollie, three, in Chipping Norton in the Cotswold Hills in Oxfordshire and has seen British Prime Minister David Cameron down their local pub a few times with his wife Samantha.

Amanda is convinced the PM is a "force to be reckoned with".

Speaking about the area where she lives, Amanda told Notebook magazine: "I love having such a great group of people around, I even see David Cameron down the pub. Last time I saw him, he'd just come off a bike ride with Sam and the kids, plus loads of security. Everyone else looked loads sweatier and more puffed out than he did. He's a force to be reckoned with!"
