Amanda Holden has broken her silence on her absence from the ITV Saturday Night Takeaway finale amid her Sharon Osbourne feud.. 52-year-old ITV Britain's Got Talent star Amanda, a mum-of-two, has spoken out regarding her noticeable absence from the final of Saturday Night Takeaway over the weekend.

Fans spotted her name in the credits but she was missing from the episode on Saturday April 13 amid her furious row with Sharon O. A spokesman for ITV said: "Amanda was listed in credits along with every other celebrity involved in the Revenge GOOME (in studio or not).

"Amanda wasn't meant to be here tonight, nor was Holly, Gino, Richard and Olly - all had prior engagements." A representative for the Heart DJ explained that being credited as a special guest was simply an error in production and she was spending time with her family.

Amanda appeared to be ignoring recent events on Sunday as she cheekily compared her dinner to a peachy part of her anatomy. The mum, who is married to husband Chris Hughes, took to her Instagram to share a picture of her meal with her 2.2 million followers.

She captioned it: "What a find! One of the best pubs ever @therunninghorsepub," before going on to compare the shape of the Yorkshire pudding to her derriere. Amanda laUghed: "This Yorkshire was literally the size of my [peach emoji]."

It comes after Sharon Osbourne issued an open letter to the talent show judge via social media. She wrote: "A couple of your statements regarding myself are factually incorrect. The statement 'I hated seeing certain people in a reality show dissing Simon – he’s the person who’s given them all the chances, given them a lot of money and lifestyle they probably wouldn’t have had.' The truth is, you don’t know me, Amanda. You know nothing about my history in the music industry, my achievements, the artists I have worked with, the shows that I’ve produced, and my global celebrity."

She continued: "Unlike you, the brand of Sharon Osbourne is known worldwide. There are many countries that I could work in if I choose to however, I don’t have the ambition or time to do so, and unlike you, I don’t work in radio or pantomime." But her rant did not end there. She added: "Our worlds are totally different. I have been blessed with an amazing lifestyle throughout my entire life. Before you were born, I was living in a mansion in Beverly Hills and continue to do so today and continue to have my country estate in England as well.But there is something you should know. I never discuss money, lifestyle, or positions of power."

She then said: "I find it to be classless and crude. However, you’ve now forced my hand to divulge these things to you and I honestly don’t want to seem like I’m bragging, but the truth is my money and success were not due to doing a couple of Simon Cowell talent shows. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed doing them at the time as they were great fun. Yes, Simon paid me very well. Probably more than what you’re receiving today, but all of that my darling went on a few handbags."
