Amanda Holden has said there is no bad blood between her and Holly Willoughby, as she dismissed feud speculations.
Holden, 52, was accussed of mocking the This Morning presenter after she addressed the public regarding the Philip Schofield scandal. This led to rumours that the pair had fallen out.
Amanda asked her social media followers 'Are you OK?' dressed in all white, while Holly had done the same on TV the day before, reports the Mirror.

But Amanda dismissed the 'feud' in a statement uploaded to Instagram this morning.
"Sadly strong and intelligent women have for far too long been pitted against one other when we should all be celebrated in our own right," Amanda penned.
"Women are still expected to say nothing, suffer silently and just get on with it. And we do... mostly.
"There have been some huge assumptions made this week and everyone has feasted on them."
The Sun reported on Wednesday that a source said Holly "questioned how Amanda's allowed to have become so influential".
It was also claimed that she felt she had too much sway in the industry - and had a say in the Britain's Got Talent judging panel.
Amanda and Holly's former co-star Phillip fell out in 2018, when she claimed the host sabotaged her chance of filling for Holly on This Morning.
Amanda stepped in for Holly during her maternity leave in 2014, which she “loved”. But the following year, Phillip, 61, made it clear he had enjoyed it slightly less, saying: “She kept me on my toes.
“She forgets she’s on the telly, which is endearing but occasionally quite scary.”
But reports claimed Phillip requested Rochelle Humes instead because he found her easier to “manage” on air. ITV said: “Final decisions are made by producers, not presenters.”
Last year, Amanda praised David Beckham for “getting in line” to see the Queen lying in state, while Phillip and Holly were criticised for using media passes to avoid the 12-hour wait.
And when Phillip left This Morning last month, Amanda seemed to celebrate his exit by posting a bicep emoji.
Following the video of Amanda appearing to mimic Holly's speech, a spokesman said: “Amanda has always made it clear in the past she has no issues with Holly. Today’s video has been taken completely out of context.”
