Amanda told crowds: "There is a new way in France of how we're supposed to greet people.
"It starts like this..."
She tapped elbows with Jamie and then stuck her foot out to touch his - before the cheeky presenter moved in to grab his privates.
Jamie backed off just in time as he shouted out in protest.

Moments later after announcing Dua Lipa had won Best British Act, Amanda wiped down her mic before handing it over to the singer.
The women then avoided kissing each other as Dua Lipa accepted the award.
"I'm not contagious, but I'm totally OK with no kisses," said the New Rules singer.
Amanda then again performed the foot-to-foot greeting nicknamed the "Wuhan shake" with the star.
It got a lot of laughs from the star-studded audience who were there to celebrate music's biggest successes.
