She said: “I sat at the table and I said, ‘whilst we’re all feeling stressed and emotional, there’s something Chris I need to tell you.’

“The children already knew. They put their hands to their mouths and they said, ‘Mummy don’t do it now!'”

Amanda continued: “‘There’s going to be a new addition to the family.’ Chris looked utterly shocked. Obviously, you know, I’m 53. Honestly my eggs are like raisins at this point.

“I’m thrilled because as an ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home… got ya!” as she laughed.

She said: “Three little puppies were dumped at the doors of Battersea. I got the call, ‘we are desperate for someone. Would you consider fostering a dog?’

“I’m saying foster as a really tiny, loose term. It got through to Chris better than saying I was ‘fostering’.”

There’s going to be a new addition to the family. Chris looked utterly shocked.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda said they’re collecting the pup today (September 16). She joked: “Yes, it is a replacement for my eldest daughter who’s gone to university.”

Another said: “Ahhh how lovely. I was thinking a baby at first. A furry baby!”

A third commented: “That’s amazing news.”
