Amanda is believed to have been getting weekly tests for Covid-19 due to her job presenting on Heart Radio which is based in central London.

The unnamed resident says many people are escaping from the city to idyllic places like Cornwall causing bad blood in the community.
An onlooker told The Sun: “She must have known what she was doing was wrong.
“People down here will be really angry. There is a feeling that, during the lockdowns, people have just been coming down to Cornwall as they wish, and putting local people in danger. So this type of behaviour really isn’t on.”
