Kicking off the conversation, Amanda said: "When I left drama school, EastEnders was one of the first jobs I got.
"I had to look after someone's stall for half an hour which was like four episodes or something."
Jamie, shocked, said: "I didn’t know you were in EastEnders! There’s pictures though?"
Discussing her time on the show, Amanda recalled moments during takes where they made their own fun with edible items.
"Iain Beale, I looked after a jewellery stall and he had his fruit and veg, there was a lot of messing around with rude fruit that’s all I’m going to say. I had a lot of fun, it was a nice show to do," she said.
Since her early years on EastEnders, Amanda's gone on to enjoy an incredible acting career, as well as time in the West End.
She's now been a judge on the Britain's Got Talent panel alongside Simon Cowell for an impressive 14 seasons.
