Amanda Holden says she'll never be pals with Phillip Schofield again after snub

A clip of Amanda Holden discussing her feud with Phillip Schofield has resurfaced amid the This Morning scandal.

Phillip, 61, stepped down from his role on the ITV programme after weeks of scrutiny about his and Holly Willoughby's reported behind-the-scenes feud.

A few days later, the veteran presenter admitted to having an "unwise" but "not illegal" affair with a younger This Morning employee.

Since the news emerged, former guests and stars of the show have been opening up about their experiences with Phillip.

Amanda has always been open about her feelings towards the former presenter and has continued to take swipes at him amid his downfall.

And now, an old clip of the Britain's Got Talent judge discussing her feud with Phillip has been unearthed.

Their relationship soured when Holly Willoughby went to film I'm A Celeb in 2018, leaving a spot on the sofa next to Phil.

Reports suggested Amanda - who previously presented on the show - thought she was set to replace Holly, but the offer was reportedly withdrawn last minute.

According to The Sun, Amanda lost out on the chance because of Phil.

Sources claimed she was the frontrunner, but was blocked by the TV stalwart, who apparently favoured Rochelle Humes because she was 'easier to manage'.

In a resurfaced video, Heart Radio co-star Jamie Theakston questioned Amanda about her feud with Phil.

"I've moved on from it, Jamie, you need to move on from it," she said.

He pressed for gossip and asked: "You might have moved on but I just wanted to know, is there any more to the story?"

Giving in, Amanda told Jamie she attempted to extend an olive branch by sending him a message.

She said: "I did offer to meet him for a coffee months ago, he didn't reply to my text. What can I say?"

"The olive branch had been extended?", Jamie questioned.

He went on to ask whether the two would have a 'burger and fries' moment, which is in reference to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry becoming friends again after a public fallout.

The singers dressed up as a burger and fries in her music video, You Need To Calm Down.

Amanda answered: "I doubt it. I'm a vegetarian Jamie."
