Amanda Holden goes make-up free as she’s seen for the first time since new feud with Phillip Schofield over This Morning job
AMANDA Holden was make-up free as she went out for a run in London this morning after news of her feud with her sometimes This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield emerged.
The television presenter, 47, dressed in her black sports gear and tied her hair back under an Adidas baseball cap for the occasion.
Her face was completely clear as she wore headphones on her ears to listen to music while she jogged.
The actress launched a secret scathing attack against silver fox Phillip, 56, after she believed he got her the chop from ITV show This Morning.
She was set to fill in for Holly Willoughby who has flown Down Under to Australia to host I’m A Celebrity with Declan Donnelly while his usual presenting partner Ant McPartlin deals with his personal issues following his drink-drive incident and a stint in rehab.
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda’s offer to stand in for Holly was withdrawn at the last minute.

She believes Schofield was behind her missing out on the coveted role — and it going instead to former girlband star Rochelle Humes, 29.
A source said: “Amanda was so excited when she learnt she had secured the role.
"She is ITV’s golden girl and has always been a firm favourite with This Morning.
“She’s an experienced co-host and has filled in on the sofa on many occasions, including alongside Phil.
“So she was shocked when she was taken out to lunch by ITV executives who told her that unfortunately they couldn’t follow through with the offer.
"During the lunch they let slip they thought the decision had been heavily influenced by Phil and that he had thrown a spanner in the works.
“Their meeting was a few weeks before the news broke that Rochelle would be covering for Holly and Amanda was understandably upset.
“Not only had she cleared her work calendar to fit in the dates but she couldn’t understand why Phil might not want her to be his co-host, as she thought they had a great personal and pro relationship.”
Shortly after learning her work offer was off, Amanda was interviewed by Phil and Holly on October 8 about her work with the charity, Tommy’s.
And during an ad break she confronted Phil about her suspicions.
The source added: “She made it clear that she felt very let down.
“He was lost for words but didn’t have much time to respond to Amanda’s claims because the show was going back on air.
“Neither of them realised that Amanda could be overheard by most of the team because she was still wearing her mic pack.”
