Amanda Holden has taken a savage swipe at Holly Willoughby as she criticised her talents live on air.

The TV presenter, 54, made a jibe at Holly’s presenting skills while chatting to her co-host Jamie Theakston on their Heart Breakfast radio show.

Amanda hinted at a comparison between her dating series on Netflix, Cheat: Unfinished Business, and Holly’s reality show Celebrity Bear Hunt, which is also available on the same streaming platform.

While discussing the future of her show with Paul C Brunson, Amanda mentioned that she has heard rumors about a renewal, but nothing is confirmed yet.

Her co-host Jamie made a playful comment: ‘What are they suggesting, they getting Holly Willoughby?’ suggesting the possibility of Amanda being replaced by the fellow TV personality.

A shocked Amanda then stammered with: ‘I… what?!’, before quickly adding: ‘No, they want a proper presenter,’ in what appeared to be a swipe at Holly’s talents.

Jamie then told her she was going to ‘get in trouble’ for her remark, prompting Amanda to reply with: ‘No one’s listening.’

MailOnline has contacted Amanda’s representatives for comment. Holly’s representatives declined to comment when approached.

Amanda and Holly are both very familiar faces on ITV and they have both previously hosted breakfast TV show This Morning.

Holly fronted the programme alongside Phillip Schofield for 14 years before stepping down in 2023, while she also helmed Dancing On Ice until its cancellation this year.

Meanwhile, Amanda memorably stood in for Holly during her maternity leave and hosted alongside Phillip while she also featured on the show from 2014 to 2019.

Amanda, who still works with ITV as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, was even rumoured to be replacing Cat Deeley on This Morning late last year.

At the time, Amanda addressed the hearsay during a chat with Ashley Roberts as she denied she was being lined-up for the role.

‘I saw this morning some rumours stirring about you replacing Cat Deeley on This Morning. What’s the tea?’ Ashley asked. 

‘Oh, well, do you know what? I’m really glad you’ve asked me this. First of all, I absolutely love Cat Deeley,’ Amanda said.

‘She’s super successful, I’ve always admired her, she’s brilliant, and she’s a real laugh. I hate seeing headlines that say, ‘I’m taking over from Cat Deeley’ when I think she’s doing such a good job on This Morning.’

The TV personality added that she believes Cat is ‘going nowhere’.

‘I’m already on the biggest morning show in the country, and that is Heart Breakfast, thanks to our lovely listeners,’ she went on.

‘So, I don’t know where it’s come from it is categorically not true.’

Ashley reaffirmed Amanda’s point, saying: ‘Not true, you heard it here!’

But she has now swapped ITV for global streamer Netflix with her brand new series, Cheat: Unfinished Business, was released on Netflix last week.

The dating show follows eight ex-couples whose relationships were torn apart because of infidelity.

The presenter, who shares daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, with husband Chris Hughes, told MailOnline she has always longed to present a dating series.

She said: ‘It is my dream job, if I could have manifested a job… this would have been it. It is the job I have wanted my whole life and it’s finally happening.’

The Heart Breakfast host added: ‘A series about second chances and unfinished business. 

‘I can’t wait, along with Paul, to meet and help these couples work out whether they can forgive and forget. I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of it.’
