But brushing off their on-going feud, Amanda lapped up the attention of the stunning male and female dancers at the famous venue in the French capital on Saturday night.
Wearing a black dress with sheer sleeves, Amanda struck a series of poses as she was surrounded by scantily clad female dancers dressed in pink showgirl outfits.
The Britain's Got Talent judge was then picked up by the male dancers, with Amanda beaming as she lay across their arms, holding one hand in the air.
Her outing comes as The Sun on Sunday revealed she had raised concerns to a top ITV boss that Phil, 56, blocked a job as his co-host.

A second star also complained about Phillip’s “overbearing” behaviour.
Fuming Amanda complained to bosses that she missed out on a role co-hosting This Morning because Phillip had branded her “difficult to manage”.
The star took the issue to ITV chief Kevin Lygo.
A former daytime TV executive said: “Phillip actively campaigned for Rochelle Humes to get the job despite Amanda being more experienced — and having been told privately she’d got the gig.

Amanda Holden says Phillip Schofield is unwelcome in her home while playing 'Holden's Hot Seat'
“She feels Phil unfairly used his powers of persuasion. She was told he’d chosen Rochelle because she was easier to ‘manage’ on air - and understandably that incensed her.”
Amanda raised concerns at a meeting with Kevin in September.
This month Amanda was asked on her Heart FM show what three things she wouldn’t like to find in her home. She replied: “Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield.”

A source said at the time: “Amanda was so excited. So she was shocked when execs told her they couldn’t follow through with the offer.
"(Producers) let slip the decision had been influenced by Schofield.”

ITV said last night: “Presenter line-ups on This Morning change regularly. Final decisions are made by producers, not presenters.
Phillip is a much-loved broadcaster and part of the ITV family. He’s a consummate professional.
“Amanda is also held in high regard as a judge on one of our biggest shows.” Amanda’s spokesman declined to comment.
