Amanda Holden has admitted that she hadn't expected her feud with Sharon Osbourne to ignite, leading to the X Factor judge to hit out at the Britain's Got Talent star after Amanda labelled her "bitter and pathetic".
Replying to Sharon's comments, Amanda told The Sun that it "didn't bother" has as she was "sticking up" for Simon, though she admitted: "I really wasn't expecting it to all blow up the way it did, but I also can't explain how much it didn't bother me at all, either. I was just sticking up for a friend and I know she would stick up for a friend. I would do it all again. And honestly, I wasn't phased.
Amanda did reveal that she didn't read the social media tirade posted by Sharon in response to her comments and she insisted that her husband Chris didn't read it out to her. In the missive, Sharon hit out at Amanda, insisting "a couple of your statements regarding myself are factually incorrect." She went on to add: "The truth is, you don't know me, Amanda or any of my close friends.
Sharon also insisted that it was Simon that needed her for his singing competition and not the other way around as she was a big name in the business. Sharon pointed out: "At the time that I worked on X Factor, I was the only judge who had global accomplishments with multiple million-selling artists, Grammy Award winner and arena and stadium headliners.
