"I'm trying to think when we last saw each other," Amanda gushed. "Must have been on one of the specials, I think - the BGT specials."
"Probably way!" Susan replied, before the topic of conversation turned to the singing sensations former crush on judge Piers, 56.
"You don't fancy Piers anymore I gather?" Amanda jibed, to which Susan hit back: "I respect him but I don't fancy him. I've grown up a bit now!"
Susan has kept her life private since the show, despite amassing an impressive £22million fortune.
The star revealed to Piers Morgan that she lives off a rather more humble £300-£500 weekly allowance, calling the sum "plenty".
Despite selling more than 25million albums worldwide, Susan still lives in the same house she grew up in.
The former council house in Blackburn, West Lothian is certainly modest considering her estimated £22 million fortune, but the most important thing to Susan is the memories.
Speaking to OK!, she said: "It’s to do with the memories of your house and your upbringing, you need to take stock of things and maybe see where you come from and where your roots lie.

"It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn't say."
That doesn't mean Susan hasn't spent a bit of her money on transforming the property, fitting it with a sleek, modern kitchen and a cosy living room.
