The actress, who has appeared in films such as Carry On Cleo, said: “When it comes to the Harvey Weintstein bit I just think someone should have said ‘listen it’s not really worth it darling, I would rather not get the part’.”
Former politician Ann Widdecombe appeared to agree with her saying: “There was a choice there.”
The women then pushed Amanda to find out if she was ever asked to sleep with a director for a role and she replied: “It was always being indicated.
“If you are stupid enough to go to bed with somebody because you want the part… I just don’t get it.”

Malika stepped in to point out it’s not always as simple as just saying no to someone.
She said: “That’s how people sometimes end up subjecting themselves in situations and scenarios you don’t see it coming and you end up doing something you really don’t want to end up doing it.
“It’s not always that obvious.”
Last year Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein was hit by a string of sexual harassment allegations dating back decades.
