Amanda Ross is a highly influential TV producer who has brought us the likes of&nbsp;Saturday Kitchen&nbsp;which celebrates its 20th anniversary next year, the&nbsp;Richard and Judy&nbsp;show which ran for 9 years, and the book show,&nbsp;Between the Covers, which she is now touring live and presenting herself.&nbsp;Amanda and her husband and business partner Simon Ross, own and run Cactus TV. Amanda told me that running their own TV company means that they can organise their lives around bringing up their two adopted sons, now aged 16 and 19.TRIGGER WARNING: Amanda also revealed to me that she suffered sexual abuse from her stepfather as a child. She wanted to share her story here, so that other people who might have gone through similar ordeals can, like her,&nbsp;learn that it wasn’t their fault, and that they should not feel guilty about what happened to them.Amanda's other big message is: just do everything with your children because you can take your kids anywhere. It’s just about attitude.Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
