Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has playfully taken a swipe at her former This Morning colleague Holly Willoughby.
On her Heart Radio Breakfast show with Jamie Theakston this morning, she addressed rumours of a second series of her and Paul C Brunson's Netflix show, Cheat: Unfinished Business, being commissioned.
"Well, yesterday I read in the paper that we are doing another series, but I don't know for sure," she clarified.
Her co-presenter Jamie then couldn't help but tease: 'What are they suggesting, they getting Holly Willoughby?'.
The remark caught Amanda, 54, off-guard as she responded: "I... what? !", before adding with a laugh: "No, they want a proper presenter."
Jamie warned: "You're going to get in trouble for that!", which led to Amanda joking: "No one's listening."
Both Amanda and Holly have fronted ITV's This Morning previously. The latter was one of the programme's most familiar faces until her departure after 14 years in 2023.
Amanda has previously filled in for Holly during her maternity leave, co-hosting alongside the show's former host Phillip Schofield.
Previously discussing their working relationship, Phillip said of Amanda to Heat Magazine: "She has a faulty edit button and she forgets she's on the telly, which is enormously endearing and funny, but occasionally quite scary."
Amanda also said she 'absolutely loved' her time on the show, though things appeared to take a turn between them a few years later.
At the time, there were conflicting stories suggesting that Phillip had requested to work with Rochelle Humes over Amanda, though ITV refuted these claims.
Adding fuel to the fire, the Heart Radio host seemingly hinted at a rift with her ex-colleague in 2019 during a segment on the show.
Listing three things she wouldn't want to find in her home, she said: "Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield."
She also said she had invited Phillip to her home for a coffee to clear the air, but claimed he didn't respond.
In 2023, Amanda was accused of taking a dig at Holly via Instagram. When the latter made her return to the show after Phillip's exit, she began an emotional statement with: "Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so."
Shortly after, Amanda said in a video: "Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?". With a grin, she continued: "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."
The presenter later dismissed claims that she was mocking Holly, saying in a statement: "Sadly strong and intelligent women have for far too long been pitted against one other when we should all be celebrated in our own right.
"Women are still expected to say nothing, suffer silently and just get on with it. And we do... mostly."

Buckingham Palace's cheeky response to Jamie and Sophie's 'Meghan' video
Buckingham Palace has been lauded for the "best response ever" to Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo's controversial video in which they seem to mock Meghan Markle. Sophie, who is pregnant, appears to twerk in the clip Jamie posted on Instagram to mixed reaction yesterday. Many on social media suggested the couple, who got married in April 2023, were trying to recreate Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's incredible "twerking" video shot moments before the Duchess of Sussex gave birth in hospital. Within minutes of Jamie uploading his footage, purportedly shot inside Buckingham Palace, the official Instagram account "theroyalfamily" replied: "We see you" with a pair of eyes and a wink emojis. The King's Trust also entered the conversation in the spirit of the occasion, saying: 'All of our attendees are very well behaved' with the same look and a laughing emoji. Responding to theroyalfamily's post, one Jamie fan wrote: "best response ever! This really made me laugh." Another said: "Brilliant," tagging the account to their reply. However, some Instagram users aimed fire at Jamie, who now hosts a show on BBC Radio One, calling the dig "disrespectful". The 36-year-old star, who was in Made in Chelsea from 2011 to 2020, is seen dancing alongside Sophie in what appears to be Buckingham Palace. His moves appear to replicate those briefly seen by Prince Harry in Meghan's clip, which became public earlier this month. The words "The Royal Baby has arrived" are written overlay to the clip, liked by more than 50,000 people on Instagram. Yet one viewer on there replied: "Disrespectful," to which she got seven likes. Another Instagram user shared: "Diabolical behaviour." A third critic posted: "Quite disappointing. I like you guys normally." Other celebs posted replies too. Kerry Villers, who is a social media influencer, said: "I feel like you can see Jamie's excitement to become a dad in his face and it's pure joy." TV presenter and former member of The Saturdays, Rochelle Humes, shared her own experience trying to sneak a photo in Buckingham Palace. The mum of three wrote: "The speed that this happened is genuinely impressive. I just about got mine in focus for a sneaky pic." Sophie, who was in Made in Chelsea from 2017 to 2022, smiles playfully in the clip as she dances alongside her husband. The pair, stood on the red-carpeted gliding staircase, are flanked by portraits of members of the royal family in the video. Royal aides seemingly found the funny side, although it would have breached protocol. Proof that no offence was taken, a palace aide told the Daily Mail: "I'm sure it was done in a spirit of fun, and of course aligned to Jamie's wonderful support for The King's Trust Awards - even if it's not something we would greatly encourage every guest to attempt." Jamie had attended a reception at Buckingham Palace yesterday alongside the likes of George and Amal Clooney to highlight The King's Trust's annual awards for some of the charity's greatest success stories.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor says she discusses toxic masculinity with her five sons
The Murder On The Dancefloor singer, 46, is mother to Mickey, Jesse, Ray, Kit and Sonny, whom she shares with her husband, musician Richard Jones. Ellis-Bextor said while she will 'keep an eye on' their mobile phones, she does not demonise things that could 'shut down communication'. In recent months the success of hit Netflix show Adolescence has sparked conversations around misogyny among young boys online and the radicalisation of young men, with the creators discussing the topic in Parliament in April. Ellis-Bextor told Good Housekeeping UK: 'I've always had a lot of faith in my boys. We've openly chatted about toxic masculinity for a long time. 'My eldest is very articulate about these things, so none of it was new to my house. Sometimes people have an idea of what boys are like, as if they're a different species. 'As I far as I'm concerned, I'm raising five people who happen to be boys. I keep an eye on (mobile phone screen time), because that's parenting, but if you start demonising things, you shut down communication. 'Then you're like those parents in the 1950s who made kids burn their rock 'n' roll albums.' Speaking about her husband, Ellis-Bextor added: 'When we got married, we'd already had our first baby. 'My mum said: 'Make sure you always choose each other over anything else, even the kids.' She was right. Even though the kids might roll their eyes if they see us hugging or whatever, they're happy that we're happy. 'We have fun as a family, too. Last year, they came with us for a lot of the tour.' The singer also discussed her forthcoming album, Perimenopop, a play on the words perimenopause and pop. 'There's still this idea that only young people make pop music,' she said. 'As soon as I had the new album title, I felt like, 'Now I can literally be myself.' 'This album is about poking fun at this gloomy chapter and the narrative around it that women should be quietening down and becoming invisible… I don't feel like that at all.' The full interview can be read now in the August issue of Good Housekeeping UK.
