Amanda Holden has made it crystal clear that she's not a fan of Phillip Schofield in recent years following their fallout.
And the Britain's Got Talent star, 52, has continued to throw digs his way following Phillip's downfall from This Morning.
Following months of speculation that Phillip, 61, was involved in an ongoing feud with co-star Holly Willoughby, 42, he announced his departure from the ITV programme last week with 'immediate effect'.
Since then, a number of his fellow ITV stars have rallied around him, with Rochelle Humes, Clodagh McKenna, and Piers Morgan all sharing their support for the fallen presenter.
While the majority of ITV stars have remained neutral and have not spoken on Phillip's dramatic exit from the show after 21 years, Amanda Holden has appeared to have thrown in a number of digs after Piers Morgan revealed that the presenter is 'heartbroken'.

Amanda said she is backing Dermot O'Leary to fill Phillip's shoes, and thinks he would be the perfect person to present alongside Holly.
And during her radio show on Thursday morning, Amanda and co-star Jamie Theakston tried to guess This Morning star Craig Doyle's age as they spoke about Phil's fall from This Morning.
While live on air, Amanda wrongly guessed that Craig was 54, and then again that he was 48.
Although Craig is actually 52, Jamie went on to change the subject as he asked Amanda if she thought the Irish TV presenter could fill Phillip's role on This Morning as a permanent presenter.
"Oh, the big one wow!… Yes, I think him and Alison do a great job don’t they," she replied.
In the space of one day, Amanda has now said that both Dermot and Craig would do a fabulous job on This Morning.
Amanda and Phil worked together on This Morning (REX)Phillip and Amanda previously fell out on the ITV daytime programme with reports suggesting he never wanted her to star alongside him.
Amanda has never shied away from sharing what happened between herself and Phillip and previously told Heart Radio listeners she once extended an olive branch to him – which he ignored.
The BGT judge had replaced Holly Willoughby when she was off on maternity but Phillip had reportedly decided Rochelle Humes was the perfect fit.

However, Amanda had already secured the gig, leaving Phillip furious.
At the time, a source told The Sun on Sunday: "Phillip actively campaigned for Rochelle Humes to get the job despite Amanda being more experienced — and having been told privately she'd got the gig.
"She feels Phil unfairly used his powers of persuasion. She was told he’d chosen Rochelle because she was easier to 'manage' on air – and understandably that incensed her."
The pair are said to have never seen eye to eyeThe BGT judge took to her Instagram following Phil's news and posted a bicep curl emoji, which is often used to show support and strength to people.
Her post was soon flooded with comments, with former Coronation Street star Charlie Condou penning: "Exactly."
"I know what that's for," joked a second. A third commented: "No Holden back for sure, YES AMANDA!"
"Here's to strong women and men who try and move them on when they try and stand up to them. It’s been a long time coming but thanks to karma," added another.
