She styled her honey tresses in loose curls and posed playfully on her patio under a giant rainbow umbrella as she gazed off into the distance.
Amanda uploaded the colourful snap alongside a caption that read: ‘Over the rainbow raising funds for @nhscharitiestogether link in my bio to download it [rainbow emoji].’
She has released a cover of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, in conjunction with the M&S campaign All In This Together, to help the NHS amid the current COVID-19 crisis as it is a cause close to her heart.
Earlier this week Amanda recalled ‘dying for 40 seconds’ during childbirth while declaring she owes her life to the NHS.
The TV personality made the emotional revelation as she gave the first ever radio play of her newly-released charity single on Heart Radio.
She told her Breakfast Show co-host Jamie Theakston, 49, about her near-death experience during labour with daughter Hollie, now eight, while praising the NHS for ‘getting her through’ stillbirth of son Theo in 2011.

Amanda and record producer husband Chris Hughes have been married since 2008 and are parents to daughters Alexa, 14, and Hollie.
A tearful Amanda told listeners that the NHS saved her life when she haemorrhaged during Hollie’s birth and ‘actually did pass away for 40 seconds’ before falling into a coma.
She explained how they were there for her sister when she sustained a brain injury during a car crash, and that they were incredibly supportive to her family when she gave birth a little boy who was stillborn.

After playing Amanda’s charity single to the nation for the first time ever, her Heart Breakfast co-host Jamie said: ‘I’m getting a bit emotional, I’m so proud of you. What an amazing thing to do!’
Amanda admitted: ‘Well I mean, it’s… I owe the NHS my life, without being too dramatic.’
Encouraging her to detail her experiences, Jamie added: ‘Do remind us, tell us your story as I know it’s something that means a lot to you.’
Amanda explained: ‘When I gave birth to Hollie, my eight-year-old daughter who I know is listening, she was an emergency and I haemorrhaged basically.

‘And I actually did pass away for 40 seconds and then I went into a coma.
‘But the NHS were there holding my hand and my husband’s hand who – I feel sorry for him to be honest, he went through it watching it all!
‘My sister had a car crash three years ago and experienced a brain injury, she’s fully recovered but they were there for that.
‘And then of course it’s been well documented that Chris and I had a child, a little boy called Theo, who was born sleeping at an NHS hospital and again, they were incredible to us, we couldn’t have gotten through without them.’
Jamie added: ‘And I know that you’ve always said that you wanted to do something for you and to give something back to them.’
Jamie and Amanda were also joined on air by Ellie Orton, CEO of NHS Charities Together, who told Heart listeners how Amanda’s single will help the NHS.
