Amanda Holden's cryptic message after Phillip Schofield comes out as gay

Amanda Holden shared a cryptic message with fans after her former This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield came out as gay.

Last Friday, Phillip revealed he is gay in a heartfelt Instagram statement.

The TV star, who is married with daughters, made the announcement on social media.

Phillip wrote a lengthy statement in which he praised his family for supporting him, before he came on the ITV show to explain his announcement.

Numerous colleagues of Phillip's showed their support but Amanda posted a video of herself kicking her legs in the air while posing for a photoshoot.

But it was the caption for the video that also grabbed attention, reports the M.E.N.

She said: "Always more interesting what goes on behind the scenes."

One follower wrote: "Interesting".

Another said: "Tell us about it".

Amanda, who has previously stepped into Holly Willoughby's shoes when his co-star had time off off the ITV magazine show, had reportedly clashed with Schofe in the past.

This has always been denied by ITV and Phillip.

When Amanda's Heart FM co-host Jamie Theakston pressed her on the matter she said she had “drawn a line under all those issues with Phillip" - but it wasn’t enough for Jamie, who probed her again for info.

And she said: "Well I'm just gonna say that I really admire anyone that sticks up for themselves because it is not an easy thing to do.

"There is a tin opener and there's a can somewhere and other people have found the tin opener. That's all I'm saying."
