It is so sadly,bitterly and heartbreaking to hear that Amanda Holden
Sharon Osbourne has responded after Amanda Holden appeared to brand her as “bitter and pathetic” – telling the radio host she would “never be in my league”.
Britain’s Got Talent judge Holden criticised Osbourne and her former X Factor co-judge Louis Walsh for the way they spoke about Simon Cowell during their joint stint on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
While appearing on the reality show, Osbourne and Walsh, who both worked together on X Factor with Cowell, shared their unfiltered opinions about the talent manager.
Osbourne claimed Cowell didn’t renew her contract for X Factor, and that “he doesn’t know how to keep friends”. Walsh said he didn’t speak to Cowell anymore.
Holden, 53, told The Daily Mail: “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 a lifestyle they probably wouldn’t have had.”
“It’s bitter and pathetic. It was like Cinderella with her two sisters in the background – just stabby, stabby, stabby.”
Holden is currently a judge of Britain’s Got Talent alongside Cowell, 64, and the pair are good friends.

Osbourne has now publicly responded to those comments on X/Twitter, tagging Holden in a post that said: “I am responding to your interview with the
The former X Factor judge disputed Holden’s claims that Cowell had given her “chances” and “a lot of money”.
“The truth is, you don’t know me, Amanda,” began Osbourne. 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.”
“Unlike you, the brand of Sharon Osbourne is known worldwide.”
She told Holden that they will never be in the same league and that they inhabit “totally different” worlds.
