Amanda Holden has been forced to set the record straight on her rumoured 'rift' with Holly Willoughby for the first time after the Phillip Schofield scandal emerged. The Britain's Got Talent judge has released a statement on her Instagram today (June 8) following reports of an alleged 'feud' between her and the This Morning presenter.

Looking directly at the cameras, Holly told viewers: "Firstly, are you ok? I hope so. It feels very strange indeed sitting here without Phil. I imagine you might have been feeling a lot like I have, shaken, troubled, let down, worried for the wellbeing of people on all sides of what's been going on, and full of questions."

After Holly spoke on the matter on Monday (June 5), Amanda later took to her Instagram Story to show off her choice of outfit for the day and was seen wearing a similar angelic outfit to the one Holly wore.

Amanda has since released a statement today (June 8) which comes after The Sun claimed the ITV ladies have a 'toxi fued'.
Addressing the 'rift' head on to her 2 million Instagram followers, Amanda said: "The story in The Sun today about Holly and I is completely made up,
