Amanda Holden, host of Heart FM, mocked Holly’s return by delivering a similar statement to This Morning fans in a video posted on social media.
Giggling Amanda Holden mocks Holly Willoughby’s return announcement and dresses like her to make a point
Amanda Holden has never hidden her dislike for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning.
When Holly returned to the show for the first time after Schofield was fired for having an affair with a younger male colleague, she advised fans to take a deep breath. “Firstly, are you OK? I hope so.”
Amanda, mimicking Holly’s heavenly white clothing, posted a video to Instagram with the caption Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?’
And on the radio, for good measure, she took another swing at Holly.
Co-host Jamie Theakston, 52, inquired how she was doing after she mentioned doing the show the day before while hungover.
She remarked, “I got home, got straight into bed with my dog and cat.” At eight o’clock, after making the tea, I went back to sleep.”
“I’ve done the ‘I woke up at 2 and had to talk myself back to sleep’ routine.”
While chatting with another visitor, Jamie cut in to say, “We’re worried about your well-being.”
Amanda responded with a loud cackle, “I’m OK people, are you OK?”
A representative for Amanda said, “Amanda has never hidden the fact that she gets along great with Holly. The footage posted online today has been misinterpreted.”
Furthermore, Amanda wasn’t the only one who gave Holly the cold shoulder.
On Tuesday’s live episode of Springwatch, viewers were under the impression that host Michaela Strachan, 57, was poking fun at her.
Michaela repeated Holly’s line of thought after watching a video of a fox taking a blackbird young from its nest.
Together with her 62-year-old co-host Chris Packham, Michaela exclaimed, “Everyone was on the edge of their seats watching that, how is everyone feeling?”
Disbelieving fans flocked to Twitter after noticing the similarities to Holly’s statements.
The highlight of the day, they said, was “Michela Strachan trolling Holly Willoughby on #springwatch.”
“@BBCSpringwatch #michaela using the how you feeling, a lot to process analogy much better and much more relatable than #Holly #thismorning #foxgetsblackbird #fox #blackbird #circleoflife.”
Was Michaela channeling her inner Holly Willoughby when she asked, “How is everyone doing?” There is a lot to take in. #SpringWatch.’
“Perhaps a sly jab at Holly W.?After all that, how are you doing? There was a lot to take in. #SpringWatch.”
In addition, a member of parliament today joked about Holly Willoughby’s return to This Morning by asking a top ITV executive at a Commons select committee, “Are you OK?”
In an earlier interview, Amanda implied that Phillip had thwarted her 2018 bid to fill in for Holly on This Morning when she hosted I’m A Celeb.
Phillip’s regular co-host Holly has replaced Ant McPartlin, while Rochelle Humes has been hired to host I’m a Celebrity…
Jamie, Amanda’s co-star on Heart Radio, asked her about the beef she had with Phil in a video that has since appeared online.
When he tried to bring up the topic again, Amanda said, “I’ve moved on from it, Jamie, you need to move on from it.”
You may have moved on, but he persisted in asking, “Is there more to the story?”
Amanda informed Jamie that she had reached out to Phil in an effort to clarify the situation, but her messages had been disregarded.
