Amanda Holden twists knife in with fabulous weekend post after Schofield news
Amanda Holden sports ‘summery’ denim jacket
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, 52, caused a stir over the weekend as she posted a cryptic celebratory emoji following the news that Phillip Schofield, 61, had left This Morning.
Amanda, who famously was left unhappy with the presenter back in 2019 following her guest hosting stint on the ITV show, didn’t shy away from seemingly twisting the knife in further in a new Instagram Story video.
The star was quick to remark on her “fabulous weekend”, just two days after Phillip announced he was leaving This Morning in a sensational statement on Saturday.
She also made a reference to tucking into some ice cream in the shape of cigars.
Cigars are traditionally used to symbolise success, and are often only smoked once a personal goal has been achieved.

While showing off her summery outfit in the Heart FM studios, Amanda cheerily told her Instagram followers: “Good morning, it is Monday.
“What a fabulous weekend I spent with my mummy and my eldest daughter eating ice cream cigars at Beaverbrook out in Surrey, which was gorgeous.
“The sun shone, so it put me into a mind of thinking I could actually get some summer clothes out this morning.”
Moving on to give her fans an insight into her outfit choice, Amanda continued: “So this is a little jean jacket – so useful for all of those sort of little flowery dresses, all the gorgeous things that you have in the summer.
“Throw it over, you can make it look a bit posh by wearing it like that,” she added, demonstrating by wrapping the jacket around her shoulders.
Amanda added: “This dress is from L.K.Bennett, very seaside-y, super soft, it’s a wool but I feel like it’s something you could wear with flip-flops, or trainers, on holiday, I really like it, this is a keeper for me.
“Hope you’re having a lovely day and I will see you tomorrow,” she concluded.
It comes after Amanda’s use of the flexed bicep emoji was branded “shady” by fans, as she posted it directly after Phillip announced his This Morning departure.

“Amanda. The shade, the shade!” One fan commented, while another hit back: “This is not the way to do it. Completely unnecessary.”
Phillip and Amanda previously hit headlines in 2019, when it was rumoured the former had blocked the Heart FM host from covering for Holly Willoughby on This Morning again.
A former TV executive reportedly told 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.”
Phillip was quick to respond to the reports and later tweeted: “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 disputed the claims and said: “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.”
In the aftermath of the feud rumours, Amanda told her Heart FM co-host Jamie Theakston that Phillip had ignored one of her texts offering to meet up for coffee to repair their relationship.
