FOLLOWING claims in April's OK magazine that Amanda Thompson shares her home and life with Eclipse star Vladimir Kekhaial, Miss Thompson spoke exclusively to the Citizen of her feelings on the article.

"Well I find it quite funny really," she said, while the Stageworks director ran through rehearsals for Hot Ice.

"Vlad's only actually been in my house about three times and none of his possessions are there but he did give me a very beautiful painting which is of course hung on the wall.

"We have a fabulous working relationship of course and a great friendship but that's definitely as far as it goes and I'm just surprised people are so interested.

"He's got a partner and a baby for goodness sake. It's a good job I'm single or I could have been in real trouble with this!

"The interview was actually recorded about two years ago and to be honest they couldn't have picked a better time to print it as the publicity coincides with Hot Ice's opening on Saturday.

"So any publicity is good publicity as far as I'm concerned as long as nobody gets hurt by these type of articles of course."
