It all happened when Amanda poked fun at Holly's presenting skills during a chat on air with her Heart Breakfast radio show co-host Jamie Theakston, 54.
It came about when Jamie teased her about the possibility of her new Netflix dating series Cheat: Unfinished Business being renewed.
Amanda said she had seen reports suggesting it will be, but she "didn't know for sure".
Jamie then cheekily remarked: "What are they suggesting, they getting Holly Willoughby?"
A shocked Amanda then stammed: "I… what?!"
However, she quickly said: "No, they want a proper presenter." - implying Holly was not a good TV host.
Jamie then mock scolded her and said: "You're going to be in trouble."
But cheeky Amanda just replied: "No one's listening."
ANOTHER SWIPE

It all kicked off back in June 2023, when Holly returned to This Morning after two weeks off following the Phillip Schofield scandal, which caused him to leave the show.
As she started the show, she said to the viewers at home: "Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you ok? I hope so."
On the same day, Amanda - who is well known for her dislike of Phillip - appeared to poke fun at this and shared a video where she was wearing a similar outfit to Holly.
She then addressed her fans and said: "Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?"

HOW THE FEUD BEGAN
The feud all started on the set of This Morning and mainly involved former presenter Phillip.
Amanda famously used to cover for Holly when she was on maternity leave.
However, The Britain's Got Talent judge was left furious after losing out on the role to cover Holly on This Morning during her stint on I'm A Celeb in 2018, claiming Philip was at fault
Instead Rochelle Humes was picked for the job.
A source told The Sun at the time: 'Amanda was so excited when she learnt she had secured the role.
"She is ITV's golden girl and has always been a firm favourite with This Morning.
'She's an experienced co-host and has filled in on the sofa on many occasions, including alongside Phil.
'So she was shocked when she was taken out to lunch by ITV executives who told her that unfortunately they couldn't follow through with the offer.
"During the lunch they let slip they thought the decision had been heavily influenced by Phil and that he had thrown a spanner in the works.
'Their meeting was a few weeks before the news broke that Rochelle would be covering for Holly - and Amanda was understandably upset."

This Morning star in tears over daughter's emotional milestone
Rochelle Humes talks telly, renewing her vows with her JLS star husband Marvin and opens up movingly about why she 'cries every year' when it comes to her three kids Between hosting top TV shows such as This Morning and The Hit List , parenting her three children and running a business, you'd think that Rochelle Humes would run the risk of being totally strung out. However, as OK! sitS down for an exclusive interview with the 36-year-old, she appears effortlessly chilled out. Alongside her flourishing career, Rochelle is known for her relationship with her husband, JLS singer and fellow TV star Marvin Humes, who she married back in 2012. Often sharing sweet posts to one another on social media and even working together, it's clear that they are still smitten with each other. So what's their secret? Chalking it down to mutual respect and time out for themselves amid the chaos, Rochelle explains, 'We both love each other and love our family but we also love what we do, and that's something we've both always been at peace with.' She adds reflectively, 'We've always met each other in that vein. We also make sure that we shine but don't shine at the same time, which is important to have. So, he'll be on tour with JLS at the end of the year and I'll be very grounded and there to support him.'We make sure that when we each have separate things, we support each other at that time. I think it's just communication really, there's not a big secret, I think it's just that we've got respect for each other. That's the bottom line.' Three years ago, Rochelle and Marvin, 40, decided to renew their vows, and it's something she says they've decided to make a bit of a tradition. 'When we got married, we said we'd do it every 10 years!' she smiles. 'I think it's a fun thing to do, I'm trying to make all of my friends do the same thing. You reach a certain age and it's like, people have all got married already, so it's a bit... dead in the wedding area! I want our friends to do it every 10 years too, so we have some love to celebrate! 'It's sad when they go, 'I remember there was a time when I was like, 'Oh my God, another wedding to go to!' and now I really miss it.' I'm trying to get my brother to propose to his girlfriend. I don't want him to lose her,' she admits. There may not be many weddings to go to, but one thing she's recently celebrated is daughter Alaia-May's 12th birthday. Alaia-May is the eldest of Rochelle and Marvin's brood, which includes Valentina, eight, and four-year-old son Blake. 'I can't believe [she is 12]. I cry every year because I'm like, 'I just don't know where the years are going,' but I'm also just so proud of the little woman that she's becoming,' says Rochelle of her eldest. She continues, 'It's a weird thing to think that I've got a 12-year-old. I'm also so proud of how we're raising her. Like, we managed to get one of them to 12, so we're doing alright! We're winging it, but what we're doing is working so far,' she says. The family often share insights into their holidays on social media, with dreamy breaks in Dubai and the Maldives. But Rochelle likes to give the kids some traditional British memories, too. "At the minute, the kids have just been at my mum's caravan for a few days. So, I dread to think what treats I'm coming back to – they've just been a little bit feral for a while,' she says, with an eye roll. 'It's like the nostalgia of holidays that I remember when I was younger, which is nice for them to have. I think my mum loves to do it all again, too, there's definitely something about doing it with your grandchildren and not your children, because you're not in a rush. You have all of the benefits and you can give them back!' Not only will Rochelle have three kids on a high from caravan life, but she says, she'll have piles of washing, too. Luckily, the star has partnered with Dylon Detergent, which she hails as a staple in her house. 'I'm honestly such a big fan. I have my favourite scent and the smell is gorgeous. It really has made a difference to my gym wear and to the kids' school uniforms, too. You know how they just go faded? 'We've just got back from the Maldives for Easter, which was brilliant. I tested Dylon to revive a dress that I'd bought a few years before and had lost its way a little bit. It was great.' And what are their plans with the kids for summer? 'You get the first week of the school holidays out of the way and there's nothing left to do,' she says. 'They love coming to work with me anyway. My daughters have realised there's a gifting cupboard in my office which has body sprays and creams and everything, so they have a one-track mind!' Rochelle is the official brand ambassador for Dylon Detergent, the laundry detergent that cleans and restores clothes to look and feellike new. Available at major retailers.

GMB's Richard Madeley reveals horrifying injury live on air after falling over on holiday in France
GOOD Morning Britain anchor Richard Madeley sparked fan concern after returning to the ITV series with a hugely painful injury. The former This Morning anchor, 69, was back on-screen alongside Susanna Reid, 54, for Monday's episode. 6 Richard Madeley sparked concern with his appearance on Good Morning Britain on Monday Credit: Rex 6 The 68-year-old anchor was seen wearing a cast Credit: ITV 6 He told how he has a double fracture of the wrist Credit: ITV Yet fans of the early-morning show were left worried after noting the broadcaster was clad with a huge cast on his right arm. The white plaster support could be seen peeking out of Richard's smart black suit as he fronted Good Morning Britain from his regular spot on the desk. Others also noted his voice sounded husky and "digitised" amid his injury woe, which he outlined at the top of the show. Susanna said: "Richard you better explain," to which he replied: "I thought you were going to say did I have a good break!" After the pair giggled, he continued: "It's a double fracture of the wrist. "I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose. "It flipped up and it flipped me forward and I thought am I going to win or will gravity win? "And gravity won and I hit the ground hard. "So yeah I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes." After issuing a supportive "aww," Susanna then quizzed: Is it sore at the moment?" Richard Madeley was facing GMB axe before crunch talks as another HUGE star 'is set to leave ITV' amid cuts bloodbath The brave host said: "I'm not discussing the pain threshold we just don't think about pain." One ITV viewer took to X to write: "Awww Madeley has an owie." A second put: "Is Richard channeling his inner Keith lemon this morning with his bandage?" The Sun has gone to GMB for comment.

TOUGH TIME The injury comes amid a rough time for Richard and a slew of ITV broadcasters. It comes amid a huge shake up of the daytime TV offering at the channel. We were first to report how veteran journalist Richard was facing the axe after crunch talks with telly bosses. In May, sources say Richard was told his contract, worth a reported £300,000 a year, would not be renewed on current terms when it expires in December. He hit back and negotiated a new deal with bosses — but it will mean a significant cut in his hours and pay. A source said: 'This one has really rocked the ITV corridors because Richard is such a big name and a legend of daytime telly. it became apparent Richard had a meeting with the network's most senior bosses and he's now being kept on in a more part-time role. 'He's got himself back on the show — but his hours are significantly cut.' Richard made an unexpected return to daytime telly in 2021 after Piers Morgan left GMB in a row over Harry and Meghan. He had co-hosted ITV's This Morning with wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years from 1988 to 2001. They had been the golden couple of daytime telly and it was thought both were happy to enjoy retirement at their homes in London and Cornwall. But Richard made a shock return to the screen as ITV bosses brought him in as a regular joint presenter on GMB with Susanna. He quickly established himself as a popular face on the breakfast show, building up a warm rapport with his co-host and taking on the main male anchor role. TV SHAKE UP Former MP Ed is set to be kept on, despite some viewers criticising the show for having a conflict of interest when he has been interviewing his former Labour political colleagues. Ed, who became a presenter on the GMB rota in 2022, has been pulled out of the studio in recent months when there is an interview with his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, leaving Susanna to do it alone. ITV bosses announced that Lorraine, shown on weekdays from 9am to 10am, would air on just 30 out of 52 weeks from next year.
