Amanda Holden abruptly halted her radio show after her co-host Jamie Theakston made a comment about Phillip Schofield.  

The pair returned to the studio in London to present Heart Breakfast on Tuesday morning when the former This Morning presenter, 63, was brought up in conversation. 

Amanda, 55, and Jamie, also 55, were joined by Jack Whitehall, 37, and they discussed the upcoming BRIT Awards ceremony which will take place at Manchester's Co-op Live on Saturday 28 February. 

Britain's Got Talent presenter Amanda wanted to know what Jack - who is presenting the bash - is going to wear to the event. 

She asked him if he was going to rock a 'snappy pair of socks' like his dad, to which Jack confirmed: 'Well, I don’t want to be upstaged by a sock.'

Amanda then told Jamie: 'Well, Jamie, I rest my case.'

'What are you talking about? Children's television? That wasn't me, that was Phillip Schofield,' Jamie replied. 

Unimpressed with his comment, Amanda told him: 'Oh God, please, let's not mention that name on air, it's a family show!'  

Over the years Amanda has made her feelings about Phillip very known.

Amanda and Phillip worked together on This Morning in 2014 while Holly Willoughby was on maternity leave. 

Their ongoing feud started after Phillip allegedly pushed for Rochelle Humes to take a presenting job on This Morning over Amanda. 

Phillip is a former TV presenter who is best known for presenting ITV's This Morning between 2002 and 2023.

He hosted alongside Fern Britton between 2002 and 2009, followed by Holly until he quit the programme. 

The host stepped down from the ITV show in May 2023 following an 'unwise' affair with a junior colleague.

Since then Phillip has stayed out of the spotlight.

However, he did appear as himself in Phillip Schofield: Cast Away back in 2024.  

Amanda has previously said she believes that in 2018, Phillip sabotaged her chances of filling in on This Morning while Holly hosted I'm A Celeb. 

Rochelle Humes landed the presenting job while Phillip's regular co-host Holly took over Ant McPartlin's hosting duties for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here. 

In a resurfaced video, Amanda was questioned about her feud by her Heart Radio co-star Jamie.

As he tried to approach the subject, Amanda told him: 'I've moved on from it, Jamie, you need to move on from it.'

Pressing further, he quizzed: 'You might have moved on but I just wanted to know, is there any more to the story?'

Amanda told Jamie she had tried to reach out to Phil, but her attempts to arrange a meet up to clear the air were ignored. 

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 asked. 

In reference to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry amending their friendship after a public falling out by dressing as burger and fries in her music video You Need To Calm Down, Jamie asked if Amanda if she and Phil would have a 'burger and fries' moment. 

Amanda said: 'I doubt it. I'm a vegetarian Jamie.' 

According to The Sun, Amanda reportedly expressed she felt 'let down' by her friend Phillip when she found out she didn't get the position and it went to Rochelle.

She had previously filled in for Holly when the This Morning star took a year off the show to have her third child, Chester, now seven, in October 2014. 

A former daytime TV executive previously told The Sun: 'Phillip actively campaigned for Rochelle to get the job despite Amanda being more experienced - and having been told privately she’d got the gig.'

An ITV spokesperson later insisted that Rochelle's casting was a decision made by producers, telling Daily Mail at the time: 'Presenter line ups on This Morning change regularly and final decisions on these line ups are made by producers and not the presenters.

'Phillip Schofield is a much loved broadcaster and part of the ITV family. He is a consummate professional and held in high regard at ITV. Amanda is also held in high regard as a judge on one of our biggest shows.'

During their time co-hosting the morning show, Phillip confessed he found working alongside Amanda was 'occasionally quite scary'.

He told Heat magazine at the time: 'Amanda kept me on my toes. She has a faulty edit button and she forgets she’s on the telly, which is enormously endearing and funny, but occasionally quite scary.'

After Phil stepped down from This Morning, Amanda posted a strongman emoji on Instagram in what appeared to be a sign of celebration. 

She did not caption the post as she remained mysterious about its meaning.
