Amanda and her husband Chris Hughes were treated to ‘a showcase of talent’ from more than 50 pupils past and present including singing, dancing and acting.
Amanda attended Swanmore College during the 1980s and was given a personal tour of the school by Mr Jonathan.
Because Amanda waived her usual appearance fee, the college made a charitable donation on her behalf.
