It was the day of Amys husband  Blakes Trial, the BBC show thought that the press hounded Amy too much and on this stressful day they should leave her alone.
Tania was called in to divert the attention of the paparazzi .
Along with the 2 male presenters of the show and around 10 other girls all dressed in Amy style wigs, clothes and make up, they walked to the court creating alot of attention. After standing in the freezing cold for an hour, Amys car pulled up, Tania and Garren (the main presenter) ran all the way after the car to the front entrance, only to be told she had already gone in. They managed to talk with the driver of Amys car briefly and thought maybe she was still in the back hiding.
The story got on the news that evening and in a few magazines including Heat Magazine,
