Every Amanda Holden celebrity spat victory as feud Queen issues fresh dig
Amanda Holden is at it again. Amanda, 54, took a sly dig at former This Morning host Holly Willoughby, 44, live on air while presenting her Heart FM radio show.
Co-host Jamie Theakston teased Amanda about the possibility of her new Netflix dating series Cheat: Unfinished Business being renewed for a new series. Amanda said she "didn't know for sure". Jamie then cheekily remarked: "What are they suggesting, they getting Holly Willoughby?" Amanda replied "No, they want a proper presenter." Ouch. "You're going to be in trouble,' scolded Jamie - but the damage was done.
Not that Amanda will likely be cringing. It's not the first time she's made a swipe at Holly, who stepped down from This Morning in 2023. She's also got a bit of history with Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield … and a whole load of other celebrities too. Here we look at Amanda's knack at getting into ugly spats - and who won…
Holly Willoughby
Amanda and Holly have reportedly been at loggerheads for quite some time, starting from 2014 when Amanda joined the This Morning team after Holly went on maternity leave.
After the Phillip Schofield scandal when Holly's co-host was suddenly dropped from the show in 2023, Amanda was accused of throwing shade at Holly in an Instagram video. Returning to her presenting duties after Phillip's exit, Holly started her broadcast in a heartfelt manner, saying: "Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so."
Not long after, Amanda used her social media to flaunt a chic white jumpsuit in a video. She began: "Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?".
With a grin, she added: "I'm wearing this gorgeous white jumpsuit. It's been in my wardrobe for ages and I've been dying to wear it because the weather's got better and I can."
But Amanda later said reports of a feud between her and Holly were 'utter rubbish'. But in 2022, Amanda threw another punch after Holly and Phil received a huge backlash over claims they 'queue jumped' to see the Queen lying in state.
In a clip she shared on her Instagram account she told how David Beckham had waited his turn like everyone else, saying 'Good on him' before letting out a laugh and pulling a playful face.
WINNER: AMANDA
Phillip Schofield
Amanda and Phillip once got on well, hosting awards together and co-hosting This Morning while Holly was on maternity leave in 2014.
But that seemed to sour in 2018, when Amanda was tipped to replace Holly on This Morning while she temporarily took over from Ant McPartlin on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Phillip allegedly played a hand in hiring The Saturdays' Rochelle Humes instead - reportedly leaving Amanda furious. Phillip said the claims were 'hurtful and wildly untrue'.
But several months on in 2019, Amanda made her feelings clear when she took a swipe at Phil during a radio quiz on Heart Breakfast. When asked what she wouldn't want to discover in her house, she jested: "Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield."
She added that she had once invited Phil for a coffee to discuss matters in 2019 but never received a reply.
Phillip shot back, saying in an interview that Amanda 'has a faulty edit button and she forgets she's on the telly, which is enormously endearing and funny, but occasionally quite scary."
Later, she said she had reached out to Phillip for a heart-to-heart over coffee, but claimed he didn't respond. She also posted a bicep curl emoji on Instagram after Schofield stepped down from This Morning, which was interpreted by many as a celebratory gesture.
WINNER: AMANDA
Katie Price
Katie Price sparked her own beef with Amanda after the glamour model cheekily displayed a photoshopped picture of her face on top of Amanda's among the Britain's Got Talent judging line-up.
Katie, 45, was on stage at her live podcast show last May when she pulled the stunt and she even admitted: " Amanda won't like that, will she?"
A few months later, she took another swipe at the radio host when she snub's Amanda's racy outfit choices she has become famous for.
During her appearance on Lewis Raymond's podcast Life Reclaimed, she quickly adjusted her boobs, prompting Lewis to joke: 'Oh she's getting the out'. Katie replied: 'I'm not… I've got nipple covers on, I'm not doing an Amanda Holden because I don't like that look.'
This time, though, Amanda has maintained a dignified silence and has so far refused to hit back. This time, ignoring the provocation and resisting the temptation to answer the former glamour model back seems to have been the best strategy.
WINNER: AMANDA
And the one she couldn't win...Sharon Osbourne
Amanda's feud with Sharon kicked off last April when she branded her 'bitter and pathetic' for the way she talked about X Factor boss Simon Cowell during her stint on Celebrity Big Brother.
'I hated seeing certain people in a reality show dissing Simon – he's the person who's given them all the chances, given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn't have had,' Amanda raged in an interview.
She added: 'It's bitter and pathetic. It was like Cinderella with her two sisters in the background - just stabby, stabby, stabby.'
Sharon hit back, telling the radio host in an acid-tongued post on X: 'The bottom line, Amanda, is, that you'll never be in my league, and you've picked on the wrong ugly stepsister.'
She went on: 'The truth is, you don't know me, Amanda. You know nothing about my history in the music industry, my achievements, the artists I have worked with, the shows that I've produced, and my global celebrity.'
'Unlike you, the brand of Sharon Osbourne is known worldwide.'
Sharon went on to flaunt her wealth and luxurious lifestyle as she quipped: 'Our worlds are totally different. I have been blessed with an amazing lifestyle throughout my entire life.
'Before you were born, I was living in a mansion in Beverly Hills and continue to do so today and continue to have my country estate in England as well. But there is something you should know. I never discuss money, lifestyle or positions of power. I find it to be classless and crude.'
Perhaps sensing she had met her match, Amanda replied, rather sheepishly, through her spokesperson: 'Amanda is aware of Sharon's incredible career but, just like her, Amanda will always defend those close to her,' she said.

Bob Vylan no longer playing Manchester festival after Glastonbury controversy
The group were due to headline the Saturday slot at Radar festival but no longer appear in the line-up. It comes as police launched an investigation after rapper Bobby Vylan led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their livestreamed performance at the Somerset music festival last weekend. A statement posted on Radar festival's Instagram account said: 'Bob Vylan will not be appearing at Radar festival this weekend.' It has since updated its website, changing the Saturday slot to 'Headliner TBA' (to be announced). In response, the group shared the festival's statement on their Instagram story, adding the caption: 'Silence is not an option. We will be fine, the people of Palestine are hurting. Manchester we will be back.' The rap group had issued a statement on Tuesday claiming they were being 'targeted for speaking up' after Avon and Somerset police began its investigation. The BBC has also faced criticism for livestreaming the set and has since apologised, describing the chants as 'antisemitic sentiments' that were 'unacceptable'. It later emerged BBC director-general Tim Davie was at Glastonbury while the performance was being livestreamed. Bob Vylan performed on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury (Yui Mok/PA) A BBC spokesperson said: 'The director-general was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage.' The group have since been banned from entering the US, ahead of their tour, with deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau revoking the duo's visas for their 'hateful tirade at Glastonbury'. They have also been pulled from their upcoming performance at a German music venue. Bob Vylan are expected to perform at the Boardmasters surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August. The group was formed in Ipswich in 2017, and are known for addressing political issues in their albums including racism, masculinity and class. Bobby Vylan is the stage name of Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports, while his bandmate drummer uses the alias Bobbie Vylan.

This Morning star reveals terrifying moment she blacked out on boozy night out as she sends warning to fans
The star has spoken recently about her sexualized teen body and the fat-jab future lucky escape This Morning star reveals terrifying moment she blacked out on boozy night out as she sends warning to fans THIS Morning star Ashley James has revealed the frightful moment she blacked out on a boozy night out - and feared she had been spiked. The 38-year-old says she feels very lucky because she wasn't mugged or sexually assaulted, but is now extra careful with her drinks on nights out. Advertisement 6 Ashley James has talked about drink spiking and the dangers Credit: The Sun 6 The TV star has spoken about a traumatic experience on a night out Credit: The Sun Ashley, who is working alongside Spike Aware UK and CounterSpike in a bid to educate people on the issue, tells us: 'When I went to my brother's university, and I went out with him and his friends, it's the first time that I'd ever completely blacked out. "When I woke up I was in my brother's halls with my brother. 'I'd been sick everywhere and I actually didn't remember anything that happened. But luckily I was with my brother and his friends. 'They teased me that I couldn't handle my drink because I was the younger sister that had gone to visit my brother, but I didn't feel like that. Advertisement 'My reaction and how sick I was, was not in proportion to what I drank in that situation.' She continues: 'Had it happened now, my brother or me or his friends could have tested my drinks. 'If I had been spiked, there was no mugging or sexual assault. But the next person might not be so lucky, because I imagine a lot of these people that try to spike people's drinks don't just do it once - and if they fail, they don't stop doing it.' Like many people, Ashley didn't tell anyone about her concerns - according to a new survey by CounterSpike only 11% of spiking victims reported it to the police. Advertisement Now, Ashley is helping to promote SpikeStixx - a spiking test kit that enables people to test their drinks on a night out and get instant results. 'It's literally the same size as my lipstick, so you can put it in your bag, no matter how tiny and impractical your bag is - as mine always is,' says Ashley. Trolls said I'd 'let myself go' after kids - but I love my body more now than when I was super slim, says Ashley James 'Ever since I started going out properly, spiking's always been that sort of invisible threat or thing that we have to worry about.' DJ and TV star Ashley first rose to fame during her short stint on Made In Chelsea - she now uses her voice to talk about what's important to her. Advertisement She often speaks out about double standards for men and women - and refuses to cover up her boobs because other people choose to hypersexualize them. 'I definitely feel like I've got to a point where I realise that there shouldn't be a moral attachment to the clothes that we wear,' she tells us. 'And actually, we see that, even if you're looking at spiking. But any form of sexual violence, it doesn't just happen because of what we wear. 'I find specifically, the hypersexualization of boobs quite frustrating. I don't deserve to be judged and especially not my morals or sexuality questioned based on my body." Advertisement She adds: 'I certainly don't think that my body is any more shameful than anyone else's and I think time and time again, we see that it doesn't matter what we wear. 'People are spiking drinks, not because of what we're wearing. People are hurting and killing women, not because of the clothes that they are wearing. It's because those people are bad people who want to harm women.' Despite any concerns Ashley might have on a night out, the mum-of-two is planning to keep on partying for a long time to come. She says: 'I love socialising. I'm such an extrovert and I'm a DJ as well. So I'm always out and about in various different environments where there's drinks.

I've got a really good group of friends in the industry and I feel like I'll never slow down - I'm just a bit more tired.' 6 The mum-of-two is refusing to let other people hypersexualize her body Credit: Instagram/ashleylouisejames 6 Ashley regularly appears on This Morning and speaks about hard-hitting topics Credit: Rex 6 Despite any spiking worries, Ashley will continue to socialise and party Credit: Getty Advertisement

Warning over 'dangerous' fake Labubu dolls
A warning has been issued over fake Labubu dolls, which present a choking hazard to young children, after a number were seized in Scotland. The toy's popularity began last year after K-Pop star Lisa from girl group Blackpink shared a photo of herself with one, with other celebrities such as Rihanna and Dua Lipa following suit. Pop Mart, which makes the furry bag charms, announced in May that it would be pulling all of its Labubu plushies from its 16 UK stores for a month over safety concerns. Toys seized from four premises in Aberdeen were found to have loose parts, posing a choking hazard to young children. Labubus are mischievous, wide-eyed dolls created by Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung With their wild tufts of hair, sharp-toothed grins, and childlike charm, they straddle the line between cute and creepy They are sold in a blind box so buyers don't know which version they'll get – fuelling a booming resale market First popular across China and Southeast Asia, they've have sparked viral trends on TikTok and Instagram For many, they've become more than a doll — Labubu is a fashion and lifestyle accessory Trading Standards Scotland Toys seized from four premises in Aberdeen were found to have loose parts, posing a choking hazard. East Ayrshire Trading Standards also issued a warning on Tuesday, saying it was 'aware of concerns of safety and counterfeiting'. The products also do not have the required safety labelling, including a supplier in the UK or EU. Labubu was created by designer Kasing Lung, and is also the name of the main character in the series of toys. Trading Standards Scotland Fake labubu dolls are flooding the market in Scotland. Trading standards manager Graeme Paton said: 'Following the discovery of counterfeit toys, we want to alert consumers and particularly parents to be extra vigilant. 'These counterfeit toys can seem like a bargain compared with trying to source the genuine toy, especially when they are a much-sought-after item, but they are potentially dangerous. 'Counterfeit toys can potentially pose significant dangers to young children, such as chemical exposure and choking hazards. 'These products routinely lack proper safety testing, and we encourage anyone concerned about the safety of toys they've purchased to get in touch with us via Consumer Advice Scotland.' Parents are being urged to check the toys' packaging carefully for CE or UKCA mark and the name and address of the supplier in the UK or EU to show that the product complies with safety regulations. Most will have warnings and instructions to ensure their safe use. Customers should only buy from reputable sellers and consider the price; if it's a lot cheaper than expected, it may be counterfeit.
