Telly fave Amanda also opened up about her separation from husband Clive last June after over 20 years together.
She told the publication: “Look, there are two simple facts: if he thought I was brilliant, and I thought he was brilliant, then we wouldn’t have separated. It’s a fact, isn’t it?”
The former couple share nine children together. Following her and Clive’s split, she adds they “just have to get on with it.”
However, Amanda also indicated she reckons co-parenting is “just a buzzword”.
She suggested the term means in reality they take it in turns to shout at their children.
‘The three-day rule’
Continuing to reflect on her family situation, Amanda noted her first solo TV project – consisting of six episodes – was coordinated to ensure she wasn’t away from them for too long.
She went on to explain how filming was consequently done in small sections to ensure matters at home were manageable.
Three days is the maximum amount of carnage that I can cope with on my return.
Amanda added: “We go for the three-day rule. Three days is the maximum number of sandwich boxes and stuff that we can get prepared and the maximum amount of carnage that I can cope with on my return.”

Amanda has previously revealed how Farming Lives will provide a glimpse of what life is really like for farmers.
She said at the time: “I want to explore just what it means to be a farmer today. In a world where so much more is expected of us than ‘just’ being food providers.
“Along the way I know I’m going to meet some extraordinary, dedicated people. And hear some incredible stories in the most beautiful of settings.”
Next week’s first episode sees her head to Shetland to visit a coastal farm at the UK’s northernmost tip.
