Amanda Holden appears to have taken a swipe at Phillip Schofield, years after "feuding" with him. The Britain's Got Talent judge posted a seemingly smug Instagram post following ITV's announcement on Saturday, May 22, that Phil would be stepping back from This Morning with "immediate effect".
Phil's departure from ITV's daytime magazine show comes following extensive speculation that he and his co-star of 14 years Holly Willoughby were embroiled in a "feud". The friendship between the pair of presenters, who were once loved by the public for their close bond, hungover antics and giggling fits on This Morning, is said to have "cooled" in recent months.
ITV bosses and Holly, 42, were said to be unhappy with Phil after he attempted to smooth out the claims via a statement he released on May 12, in which he asserted that Holly was his "rock". Phil, who presented his first This Morning show back in 2002, also claimed that he and Holly were still "the best of friends".
