Now, Ms Holden has joked that she now wants to relocate to Miami after returning from a family break in the US.
The 55-year-old made the tongue-in-cheek remark on her Heart radio breakfast show.
Speaking to co-host Jamie Theakston on air, Amanda said her affection for Miami had left her wondering whether she should swap the UK for the Sunshine State.
“I’m in love with that part of America. I want to move. Do you think we could do Heart live from Miami?” she joked.

In recent weeks, she has also been posting photos from the Miami trip on social media, giving followers a glimpse of her time away with her family.
Her trip comes at a time when many holidaymakers are weighing up where to spend their time off, with the conflict in the Middle East prompting some to rethink travel plans and budgets in light of rising costs.
As a result, destinations such as the United States – and particularly Florida’s coastline – are becoming an attractive alternative for some tourists.
