The Traitors fans were left in stitches after Amanda fired a savage comeback at her fellow player, Hugo.
During Friday evening’s instalment of the hit BBC show, the players had their first round table experience, and several speculated that Amanda, 57, and Traitor Hugo, 51, were looking a bit ‘too close’ implying they were in a secret relationship.
Appearing baffled by the speculation, Amanda told one player: ‘It’s lovely that you think you know, that we’re together, or whatever, but we’re not – I’m a lesbian.’
Turning to Amanda, Hugo jokingly asked: ‘So I’m not your type?’
Smirking, Amanda delivered a savage reply: ‘No, you’re not my sort’, leaving the fellow players and viewers at home in stitches.
Following Amanda’s comeback, viewers flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share their amusement.

It comes after Netty become the first faithful to be murdered by the Traitors.
As the players sat down for breakfast at the beginning of the episode, they soon discovered that Netty had been chosen by the Traitors to leave Ardross Castle, leaving several players visibly devastated and shocked.
Speaking to the camera after her elimination, Netty said: ‘I’m so gutted. I think I would have been a really good Faithful. Maybe I’ve been too good a faithful, too loud, and now my time is done.’
She added: ‘It has been awesome, so good luck Faithful.’
Following her dramatic exit, fans of the hit show flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to share their bewilderment at the Traitors’ decision to target Netty first.

One fan wrote: ‘I’m shocked the Traitors killed Netty. She was a huge target with her bond with Ross & that would’ve been a great distraction at a roundtable.’;
‘Netty gone? That’s an absolutely wild choice.’
‘Wow, I’m surprised they got rid of Netty. I would’ve kept her in because the traitors could’ve used all the suspicion over her and Ross’s relationship to get them banished at the round table. I think Maz should’ve gone.’
It comes as The Traitors fans are certain two of the contestants are a secret couple – after spotting two ‘really obvious’ clues in the previous episode.
Hosted once again by Claudia Winkleman, the hit BBC show returned to screens last night for its fourth series.
Viewers have already learned about some pre-existing relationships among the cast – and think they’ve sussed out one more.
Namely, suggesting that contestants Ross, 37 and Ellie, 33 are secretly in a romantic relationship with each other.
The pair, both of whom are from London, were seen chatting on the train to the castle.

Eagle-eyed fans thought they saw hints of the pair seeming too familiar for supposedly meeting for the first time.
Online sleuths highlighted how the pair’s interaction on the train was supposedly flirty.
And when fellow contestant Netty recognised Ross as a years-ago acquaintance, viewers seemed to see Ellie react by grimacing.
Taking their deductions a step further, eager fans proceeded to look up both contestants online.
They discovered how Ross had ‘liked’ a post shared by Ellie on LinkedIn back in July, although it is unclear whether this was before or after filming.
Writing on Reddit, one viewer shared: ‘Their initial scene did have a fake energy. If you live in London and someone else says they do too, especially when you’re young, you wouldn’t be surprised!
‘It’s not like both living in Cornwall or Grimsby or something.’
Another commented: ‘They could be a couple potentially- I did see Ellie react when Netty recognised Ross.’
It comes as sleuthing fans of The Traitors have shared theories suggesting Ross and Ellie could secretly be a couple
If these suspicions are proven correct, it would mean Ross, 37, had two pre-existing connections before entering the game
Ross and Nettie were stunned to see each other – having met years ago through a mutual friend but had not seen each other for years
While a third remarked: ‘She glances at him when everyone is sitting in a group after traitors are chosen just at the end of the edit, just a split second but looks like she’s checking his reaction to what’s being said, it looks really obvious to me there!’
BBC Bosses say it was not planned to have a second pair of contestants on the show who already know each other, as it was revealed in the first episode that there is also a mother and daughter duo in the game.
When conducting background checks, producers did find that Netty and Ross followed each other on social media, but the link was tenuous and they didn’t want to not cast them because of it.
Mike Cotton, Creative Director at Studio Lamberts, told the Daily Mail that neither player was warned ahead of the opening scene, as they wanted to watch their natural reaction on-screen for the first time and see how it played out in the game.
Netty’s stunned look quickly turned to excitement as she jumped into Ross’ arms after exiting the black 4x4s, while Ross was more reserved, making the reunion slightly awkward.
She then points to Ross and screams to the group, ‘I know him!’
Speaking to the camera, Netty added: ‘I get out of the car, and I recognise a face of someone called Ross who I met 10/15 years ago. I had no idea Ross was going to be here.’
He later explained that he was worried people would be suspicious of them.
‘Seeing Netty for the first time, I was like oh can we keep…,’ he said, while pretending to zip his mouth shut.
‘But she is a very honest person, and I didn’t want to betray her, and it was really nice to see her. In the back of my mind, I was thinking this looks a bit suss.’
The pair later explained that they know each other through mutual friends in London, but Netty has since moved to Glasgow, and they haven’t seen each other for over 10 years.
Elsewhere, Roxy revealed to viewers that she and fellow contestant Judy are mother and daughter – after seemingly accidentally spilling the beans earlier in the episode
Meanwhile, fellow contestant Roxy, 32, let viewers in on her secret: she and co-star Judy, 60, are mother and daughter.
Judy explained to the camera that she adopted Roxy when the latter was four, with the pair operating in the game as a secret alliance.
This revelation came after another player, James, told Roxy how Judy was being suspected as a Traitor.
As it happens, Roxy had already unintentionally spilled the beans earlier in the day – but no one appeared to notice.
Viewers realised she had seemingly referred to Judy as ‘mum’ while the group took on their first mission.
The Traitors continues Saturday at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
