Anneka Rice Delivers Risqué Joke on Amandaland

has shared a hilarious joke about her name drop in Amandaland. 

The 67-year-old Challenge Anneka star was referenced in an episode of the Motherland spin-off's second season - in an extremely crass fashion. 

Lucy Punch's character Amanda is seen talking to her neighbour Mal, played by Samuel Anderson, in which he reveals he leaves Amanda blushing when he makes an crude revelation about his teenage crush on the TV star. 

Sharing a clip, in which Amanda refers to both herself and Anneka as 'a hot blonde in a hard hat', Anneka referenced Mal's confession, writing: 'Happy to have helped'.

Anneka's saucy sense of humour appeared to tickle fans, with one follower responding to her hilarious tweet: 'you saucy minx!!!' 

The hilarious social media post comes hot on the heels of news that Amandaland has been renewed for series three after the second instalment received rave reviews.

The BBC comedy series stars Lucy and Samuel alongside stars including Joanna Lumley and Philippa Dunne and the channel launched series two last week which was branded a 'triumph' by viewers and critics.

Now the BBC has confirmed it will be back again but have yet to tease any future storylines. Seb Barwell, BBC Comedy Commissioning Editor said on Wednesday: 'Amanda and friends continue to capture the hearts of the nation.

'So we're delighted to announce a third series and to keep up our 'co-lab' with this amazing team.'

Amandaland's second series debuted last week - to deafening applause from critics.

The comedy has been branded 'a triumph', 'defiantly daft' and 'the BBC's best sitcom by a mile' in a slew of four and five star reviews.

Amandaland follows the demise of Motherland's snooty Queen Bee, who has moved from a lavish life in well-to-do Chiswick to becoming a single mother in the less-than-desirable South Harlesden - which she christens 'SoHa'.

Lucy played the character in all three seasons of the original show before bringing the character back to life in January last year followed by a Christmas special, all of which won enormous praise for the thigh-slapping antics of the character.

Following last week's return, critics swarmed to praise the show as the Daily Mail and the Telegraph gave it five stars, saying: 'This show is bursting with invention, so full of possibilities that it crams three or four sources of fun into half an hour.'

Lucy's performance was lavished with praise although her mother Felicity, played by Joanna Lumley, and Philippa Dunne, who stars as downtrodden Anne, were deemed 'magnetic' and 'sterling' as her supporting characters.

Series two sees attention-hungry Amanda has found her metier as an online influencer. It doesn't matter that, since she doesn't have any followers, she's not actually influencing anyone. She has a lifestyle brand and 'it's all she needs'.

Reviewers have likened the character to comedy icons The Office's David Brent and Steve Coogan's legendary Alan Partridge in their cringeworthy lack of self-awareness, arrogance and poorly-hidden deep insecurities.
