The Mr Selfridge actress co-starred with Ashley Walters, Alex Carter and Eleanor Matsuura as police officers in Brighton.
The series was praised for featuring two gay police officers in main roles and for its lack of sensationalism when it came to the character’s discussing their sexuality.
Amanda's co-star Eleanor – who played a lesbian police officer – posted a GIF showing another gay character, Jake, played by Jacob Ifan.
