I had haemorrhaged and was bleeding to death."After becoming a parent, Amanda admits she has gotten really good at being aware of her own mortality, even more so after her famous pals Davina McCall and Heart Radio co-host Jamie Theakston have recently had their own health scares.Theakston, 54, has only just made his way back to their daily show after a three-month absence due to a terrifying throat cancer diagnosis.Meanwhile, The Masked Singer's Davina McCall recently required a brain operation to remove a colloid cyst.When asked if her friends' health scares had triggered concern for her own well-being Amanda replied: "'I'm really good at facing up to things.
