Amanda Holden has claimed that she attempted to patch things up with Phillip Schofield but her texts were "ignored."
Britain’s Got Talent judge Holden revealed that she attempted to extend an olive branch after recent rumours of a rift between the pair, but claimed her advances were ghosted.
“I did offer to meet him for a coffee months ago, he didn't reply to my text,” she said on Heart Breakfast. “What can I say?
“I’ve moved on from it, Jamie [Theakston], you need to move on from it.”
Her comments on the radio show came hours after Schofield indirectly addressed the latest escalation in their alleged feud, which is said to have started last November.
“The end of another really sad weekend,” he wrote on Twitter. “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.”
Schofield also replied to a tweet commenting on the alleged feud, one asking a fan “how much they think is true” with a series of laughing emojis.
In a report by The Sun on Sunday, it was alleged that Schofield had branded Holden “difficult to manage” as he “blocked” the idea of her standing in for Holly Willoughby on This Morning.
“Phillip actively campaigned for Rochelle Humes to get the job despite Amanda being more experienced,” a source said.
“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.”
Monday’s comments are not the first time Holden has used her radio show to take a dig at Schofield since she took over the spot from Emma Bunton.
Earlier this month, the star compared him to a household pest as she named him among the “things she would not want to find in her house”.
