he Real Housewives Of Cheshire star, 34, tells new! which alcoholic beverage can make her dance all night – and who she’d like to share a meal with… Can you cook? Yes! I’m a fantastic cook – there are not many things that I don’t excel in.
Ampika’s great at cooking beef Wellington…
…while neat vodka makes her happy
We like your confidence! So what’s your signature dish? I do a great beef Wellington. Food aside, do you have a favourite tipple? I like neat vodka if I’m going out to a party. I get my dancing shoes on and I’m the happiest girl in the world. What would you choose to eat for your last supper? Seafood. I’d have barbecued fresh fish – and ideally I would catch it myself first. Who would be your dream celebrity dinner date, past or present? Elvis Presley. He is the most beautiful man that’s ever lived. His life was so tragic.

Go cocoanuts! Sipping the contents of a coconut husk is where it’s at in Celebland at the moment. But if that’s too fiddly, then check out fuss-free Vita Coco Coconut Water Chocolate. The drink, made with fresh coconut water, a dash of coconut milk and finished with a generous pinch of cocoa powder, tastes just like a chocolate milkshake, minus all the calories! It’s also a great source of potassium, is dairy and gluten free, and costs £3.49 for one litre.
