Amanda Holden has seemingly taken another subtle swipe at Phillip Schofield on social media, amid their ongoing feud.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge first spoke about her beef with Phil last year, which is believed to stretch as far back as 2018, when Amanda reportedly expected she’d be invited back to fill in for Holly Willoughby on This Morning, only for the job to go to Rochelle Humes instead.
While she’s since made a number of digs at the daytime presenter, her latest came when she commented on a picture of Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford at the NTAs.
“My faves,” she posted on a photo of Eamonn and Ruth holding their award, which many have interpreted as a deliberate dig at Phillip, as the couple host This Morning in his and Holly’s place on Fridays.
Towards the end of last year, it was reported that Ruth had made a formal complaint about Phillip’s conduct behind the scenes of This Morning.
Although neither party has ever addressed this, Amanda said on her Heart radio show at the time: “I’m just gonna say that I really admire anyone that sticks up for themselves because it is not an easy thing to do.
“There is a tin opener and there’s a can somewhere and other people have found the tin opener. That’s all I’m saying.”
ITV previously denied rumours of tension behind the scenes of the show, saying it was “deeply disappointing and unfair for Phillip to be the target of this sort of malicious gossip”.
The show’s editor, Martin Frizell, also told The Sun: “We have the smartest viewers watching telly and believe me they would be the first to notice any issues — they haven’t because there are none.”
