The lack of cars on the island means Amanda and her family will have needed to get about by bicycle – and there are some serious benefits to bike riding.

"Cycling is a great exercise which helps you tone your legs as you will be working your quadriceps when you pedal, which helps strengthen and tone your legs," explains David Wiener of fitness app Freeletics.

Bike experts Leisure Lakes Bikes also point out that cycling is a good way to torch calories. "Cycling is great for weight loss as it can make you break a sweat and burn some calories," they say, before going on to explain that getting on your bike can help support immunity and benefit brain function by stimulating endorphins – it's no wonder Amanda is always so upbeat!

Amanda Holden previously told Top Sante magaazine she's 'not a huge fan of exercise,' so it makes sense that she prefers activities such as cycling rather than hitting the gym. She's also expressed a love of hiking and running, saying of pounding the pavements: "It's the one time I can be alone with my thoughts and clear my head."
