Amanda Holden showed no signs of the Monday morning blues as she proceeded to serve the sass.
The Heart Radio host and Britain’s Got Talent judge kept things lighthearted in a playful video, demonstrating she’s still on a high following her scathing response to Phillip Schofield‘s departure from This Morning.
Amanda, 52, started her week with a hair flip, as is customary.
‘Good morning, and welcome to Monday. ‘What a fantastic weekend,’ she said to her two million fans.
Before anybody begins drawing conclusions, she went on to add that she spent the weekend with her’mummy and daughter’ eating ice cream.
‘The sun shone so it’s put me into a mind of thinking I could actually get some summer clothes out this morning,’ she said.
Amanda then showed off her all-blue attire, which included a striped midi dress, a sleek denim jacket, and matching high heels.
‘Hope you’re having a lovely day!’, she signed off.
Amanda couldn’t have been happier, having just made a not-so-subtle jab at broadcaster Phillip, 61, following his surprise revelation over the weekend.
The TV personality announced on Saturday that he is leaving This Morning alongside Holly Willoughby, 41, after 21 years on the show and 13 years with his former co-host.
His shocking resignation occurred after accusations of a ‘fallout’ between the two, with insiders claiming their friendship had ‘dwindled’.
According to recent reports, Phil and Holly were ‘barely communicating’ behind the scenes, creating a frigid atmosphere.
While neither duo officially addressed the rift accusations in their remarks following Phil’s departure, one individual in particular was pleased with the outcome.
Amanda rushed to Instagram immediately after the news broke, posting a simple image of a flexing bicep emoji.
She may have just returned from the gym and wanted to express her joy… But, let’s be honest, the timing was spot on.
She didn’t add a caption, but her supporters quickly fitted the puzzle pieces together, dubbing her ‘shady’ and basically living for the dig.
Indeed, Amanda has had issues with Phil in the past, which might be one of the reasons she was cheering his departure from This Morning.
Reports of a dispute between Phil and Amanda arose when she took over hosting duties while Holly shot I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2018.
A former TV executive once said in an interview with The Sun: ‘Phillip actively campaigned for Rochelle Humes to get the job despite Amanda being more experienced — and having been told privately she’d got the gig.
‘She feels Phil unfairly used his powers of persuasion. She was told he’d chosen Rochelle because she was easier to ‘manage’ on air – and understandably that incensed her.’
However, Phil was quick to respond, tweeting: ‘The end of another really sad weekend. When you try for 35 years to be the easiest, most fun person to work with and you read such hurtful and wildly untrue stories from nameless “sources”.

‘Obviously I’ll take it on the chin..I just hope you know me better.’
An official ITV spokesperson also rubbished the claims: ‘Presenter line-ups on This Morning change regularly. Final decisions are made by producers, not presenters.
‘Phillip is a much-loved broadcaster and part of the ITV family. He’s a consummate professional. Amanda is also held in high regard as a judge on one of our biggest shows.’
Amanda wasn’t one to let things go though, and not mince words when asked what three things she wouldn’t like to find in her home.
She replied: ‘Spiders, flies and Phillip Schofield.’
Ouch.
