Amanda Holden takes cryptic swipe at Phillip Schofield amid ‘feud’ saying, ‘you have to be nice to people on the way up’
AMANDA Holden has taken a cryptic swipe at Phillip Schofield amid rumours of a feud between the two stars.
The glamorous Britain's Got Talent judge - who is the Fabulous cover star this week - gave her views about Phillip, who sensationally quit This Morning earlier this year.
While Amanda is fiercely loyal, she is not afraid to speak out when people do her wrong.
After Phillip reportedly blocked her from hosting This Morning in 2018, she joked on her Heart breakfast show that the things she didn’t want to find in her house were: “Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield”.
Amanda had been tipped to stand in for Holly on This Morning during her time away hosting I'm A Celebrity in 2018 but The Saturdays star Rochelle booked the job instead.
And on hearing he was leaving This Morning earlier this year, after his “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger co-worker came to light, Amanda posted a strong-arm emoji to her Instagram.

“You are going to come down, but you don’t have to come crashing down.
“You can say things about me, and it’s water off a duck’s back.
“I know my reputation is professional and likeable.

“That’s what I wanted when I set out. Whatever job you’re in, there is the climb and there is the descent.”
Phillip was recently pictured for the first time since former best pal Holly Willoughby quit This Morning this month.
Former ITV star Phillip, who was axed by the channel earlier this year after admitting to an affair with a much younger male colleague, looked downcast as he headed to his car in West London.
Phil has yet to comment on his longtime co-star's shock exit from the programme.
And Holly notably failed to mention her old sidekick in her brief exit statement.
The pair's relationship, both professional and personal, soured in light of Phil's lies about his affair.
Amanda also opened up about being midst of adding a new job to her CV: a “momager”.
The 52 year old, who has two lookalike daughters in Lexi, 17, and Hollie, 11, with husband Chris Hughes, is ready to follow in Kris Jenner’s footsteps, preparing her kids for stardom.
