Amanda Holden's Absence from Saturday Night Takeaway Explained After Sharon Osbourne Row

Amanda Holden's absence from the final episode of Saturday Night Takeaway has been clarified after her recent clash with former X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne. The drama unfolded as fans anticipated Amanda's appearance on the show, only to find out she was missing due to "scheduling changes."

Unexpected Turn of Events

Despite being listed in the credits, Amanda did not make an appearance on the show as planned, leading to speculation among viewers. The BGT judge's representative cited "scheduling changes" as the reason for her absence, mentioning that Amanda's prank on Dec was aired the week before, eliminating the need for her presence on the final episode.

Furthermore, an ITV spokesperson explained that Amanda, along with other celebrities like Holly, Gino, and Olly Murs, had prior commitments preventing them from being in the studio for the show.

While the drama with Sharon Osbourne continued to unfold, Amanda was seen appearing cheerful just hours before the anticipated episode aired. Meanwhile, Ant and Dec fought back tears as the two-hour live finale marked the 20-year anniversary of the beloved ITV entertainment hit.

Clash of the Titans

The feud between Amanda Holden and Sharon Osbourne escalated as Amanda defended her boss, Simon Cowell, against criticisms from Sharon and Louis on Celebrity Big Brother. Amanda described the situation as "bitter and pathetic," comparing it to a scene from Cinderella.

Sharon later responded with a scathing statement, highlighting her global accomplishments in the music industry and dismissing Amanda's comments as uninformed. She emphasized her long-standing success and luxurious lifestyle, asserting her superiority over Amanda in terms of achievements and influence.

Sharon's detailed response aimed to set the record straight and educate Amanda on her extensive career and contributions to the music and entertainment industry, leaving no room for doubt about her status and reputation.
