A third added: “Bet she wouldn’t get passed judges on BGT.”
Others were over the moon for Amanda and sent their congratulations.
One person wrote: “OMG!! Im so happy for you!! Congratulations!!” while another gushed: “Wow. Incredible news. Congratulations my lovely.”
A third commented: “Oh my god! I can’t wait, well done Amanda!”
It comes after an insider told The Sun that she is already working on her first album, adding: “Amanda only signed the deal a matter of weeks ago but she is very excited and can’t wait to get going.”
Amanda, 48, went to theatre school as a child before she focussed on acting as a career, landing roles in dramas including Wild At Heart and Kiss Me Kate.
Although she is able to sing, the BGT star rarely revealed her voice to fans.
But in December last year, Amanda recorded a version of Tightrope, from the hit musical movie The Greatest Showman, for her husband Chris Hughes.

After uploading it to social media, the song went viral and it immediately turned the heads of music executives at some of the world’s biggest record labels, including Warner and Sony.
