Alan spotted the officer's flashing lights first and said: "Oh no, no what's this? We're pulled over, what does it mean?"
"Are you joking? This is hilarious," Amanda replied.
"I wasn't going too fast was I? What do I need to do?"
Alan then joked she'd "end up on that show Banged Up Abroad".

Amanda, who was behind the wheel, hopped out of the car before returning some time later and she explained: "It was a random check. I feel like we've had the full Sicilian experience.
"The fact that I'd done nothing. I was so shocked."
After he'd calmed down, Alan said: "My fantasy of being pulled over by a hunky Italian policeman... it is ruined it for me.
"You loved it though. I noticed they had a gun. Now that terrifies me."

Cheeky Amanda cracked a smile and said: "I noticed they had handcuffs."
To which Alan rolled his eyes and replied: "Yeah, alright."
Although the stop appeared harmless on screen, Amanda revealed it was a pretty scary experience when she spoke about it on her Heart Radio show.
"They were pretty mean ‘til we turned on the charm."
Alan confirmed that they were able to dig themselves out of their hole at the time, adding: “We turned on the charm, she turned into Mae West - ‘hey that’s a lovely buckle on your trousers!’”
The pair's BBC show saw them renovate a home bought under Italy’s One Euro scheme, in a bid to repopulate the stunning region of Sicily.
Throughout the programme, Amanda and Alan did their best to revamp the pad, with the help of professionals, ready to sell on for charity.
Now, the two-bed apartment is on the market, for a cool £128,000.
The Sun recently revealed the series has been greenlit for a second run.
