Heart FM radio host Amanda reignited her long-standing clash with Holly Willoughby last week when she suggested the former This Morning star wasn't a "proper presenter" - but she's not the only celebrity she's got into a fight with
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.
