Amandaland star Lucy Punch opens up about being forced to flee her home amid the 'shocking and devastating' LA Fires as she admits she's torn on whether to leave the US after 20 years


Amandaland star Lucy Punch has opened up on having to flee her US home after it was caught up in the LA fires .

Elsewhere, Lucy - whose character Amanda suffers a dramatic fall from grace as she navigates her single status, acid-tongued mother and the challenges of raising two teenagers - went on to detail how school mum life in the states compares to that in London. Raised in south-west London, actress Lucy first fell in love with the profession at her private school and soon found work in the sitcom Let Them Eat Cake, followed by episodes of Poirot and Midsomer Murders and a role as a receptionist in Doc Martin. She was contemplating giving it all up – her mother had suggested becoming a chiropodist – when Nicole Kidman dropped out of Woody Allen’s 2010 film You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger and Lucy won her scene-stealing role of a prostitute.
