They told CC how pompous they were of their daughter and the way she conducted herself right through the exhausting rivalry and especially the entire the winner isn't saga on Foxtel. Amanda is now in New York as part of her prize and loving being in such a great city, said proud Papa Ray.

She was only believed to be there for a week but the comeback to her has been amazing and so she had to expand her stay for another three weeks. She also confessed to being a bit longing but expectantly she will be so busy that will shortly pass.
