These include:
Amy shared: "A little while ago I took myself off to film in an episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks in their line up game for their 00's special.
After a little considering, I decided that having professional comedians take the p**s out of me on telly sounded like a LOT of fun and I was gonna do everything I could to win the game of not laughing.'
'If you don't know the game, the line ups are tested to stay emotionless whilst the comedians do everything they can to make you laugh.'
Never Mind The Buzzcocks airs on Sky Max.
