Amanda Holden Criticizes Holly Willoughby Live on Air

Amanda Holden sparked controversy after making a pointed remark about Holly Willoughby's presenting skills live on her Heart Radio Breakfast show. While discussing the potential renewal of her Netflix dating series, Holden was asked if Holly might replace her, to which she replied, 'No, they want a proper presenter,' prompting on-air warnings she could get in trouble for the comment. Both Holden and Willoughby have a history with ITV's This Morning, having co-hosted alongside Phillip Schofield at different times, and their professional relationship has been the subject of media speculation over the years. Past reports have suggested tensions between Holden and Schofield, with ITV previously denying claims that he preferred another co-host. Holden and Willoughby’s representatives have declined to comment on the latest incident, and the exchange has reignited discussion about their on- and off-screen dynamics.
