Amanda Holden’s Bold Remark on Sharon Osbourne’s ‘Ozempic Face’ Reignites Feud: ‘I’d Pick My Face Over My Waist’

Amanda Holden has reignited her long-standing feud with Sharon Osbourne by making a jaw-dropping comment about her ‘Ozempic face.’

The TV and radio presenter, 54, told me ‘she would always choose her face over her waistline’ as she opened up about weight loss jabs.

Former X Factor judge Sharon, 72, has been open about how the weight loss drug had an adverse effect on her appearance after she lost four stone in three months. 

While sitting down for a chat with me in London hotel Claridge’s, Amanda, who famously fell out with Sharon in a disagreement over Simon Cowell giggled, ‘I would choose my face over my waist any day’.

‘Obviously, yeah, with Sharon….’, she paused… ‘It is a crazy time for those sort of jabs and things’.

Bikini lover Amanda:’I will always choose my a*** over my weight and my boobs. This is where the weight goes’, she laughed while pointing to both areas

‘But I will always choose my a*** over my weight and my boobs. This is where the weight goes’, she laughed while pointing to both areas. 

‘When I put on weight, my husband loves the summer holidays because I eat my body weight in cheese when we go to Greece and it goes to my boobs, bum. And he’s like, “yes”.’

She added: ‘We’ve seen some huge differences [with celebrities appearances] at some of the red carpets in Hollywood.

‘I think it’s been very helpful for lots of people, I’m obviously not an advocate of somebody using it if they don’t need to, just because we don’t know what the implications are yet, but I think if people have used it for health reasons and for the right reasons, then it’s great.’

Amanda was in high spirits when I arrived at Claridge’s to talk to her about her role as brand ambassador for Revive Collagen.

When I arrived, a concierge showed me to the star’s private suite and politely asked me to wait outside while she finished up another chat.

Minutes later, Amanda came running down the 5-star hotel corridor, where she reassured me ‘I’m filming a TikTok video, not running away’, before introducing herself and giving me a hug.

I was swiftly handed a Diet Coke and sat down across from the BBC star in the Revive Collagen branded room.

Amanda joked  that those on the weight loss jabs probably ‘all have fitness videos coming out’ before recommending the collagen product for those age 25 and over, as way of looking youthful. 

Adding: ‘When I put on weight, my husband loves the summer holidays because I eat my body weight in cheese when we go to Greece and it goes to my boobs, bum. And he’s like, “yes”‘

Amanda made clear that she is ‘not an advocate’ for the weight loss jabs but said she’s been shocked by celebrities in Hollywood, who’s appearance has dramatically changed; Sharon pictured before 2017 and after weight loss 2023 

She added: ‘Revive helps hair, skin and nails, and with rapid weight loss creates hair loss immediately. Your hair if you’re not getting the right minerals and it can shock your body out of the right minerals because your body gives your hair what it needs.’

It should come as little surprise that Amanda is no friend of Sharon’s.

Their fiery feud first started when the blonde beauty defended friend of 20 years Simon when former X Factor judge Sharon spoke about him on Celebrity Big Brother last year. 

Amanda defended the music mogul by calling Sharon and Louis Walsh, 71, ‘bitter and pathetic’ after they tore into him on the ITV show. 

And Sharon branded Amanda an ‘ill-informed sycophantic.’ 

In an acid-tongue letter posted on X, Sharon blasted Amanda after she said Simon had ‘given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn’t have had’.

Taking a defiant stance against Sharon’s statement, Amanda said last year that she stands by what she said, while acknowledging the X Factor judge’s ‘incredible’ career. 

A spokesperson for the actress told MailOnline at the time: ‘Amanda is aware of Sharon’s incredible career but, just like her, Amanda will always defend those close to her.’ 

Amanda had told the Daily Mail’s Weekend Magazine: ‘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.’ 

12 hours later, Sharon took to Twitter to issue the presenter with a full statement and accused her of being an ‘ill informed sycophantic’. 

Amanda, who is the brand ambassador for Revive Collagen, joked that those on the weight loss jabs probably ‘all have fitness videos coming out’ 

The star recommended the collagen product for those age 25 and over, as well as those facing side effects from weight loss jabs as it is also good for ‘hair loss’

Sharon’s post began: ‘Amanda, I am responding to your interview with the Daily Mail on April 12th, I respect the fact that you feel the need to defend your good friend and employer, Simon Cowell, who is also your husband’s employer, or so I’ve read. 

‘However, a couple of your statements regarding myself are factually incorrect.’

Sharon went on to list her incredible repertoire of achievements, as she savagely pointed out: ‘Amanda, I think you’re missing the point here, no disrespect to Simon Cowell, but he NEEDED ME for musical credibility on X Factor and I delivered for him and together all of us made a great team.’ 

Sharon insisted: ‘The truth is, you don’t know me, Amanda or any of my close friends. You know nothing about my family 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. 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.’

Sharon went on to flaunt her wealth and luxurious lifestyle as she quipped: ‘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. 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.’

Listing her career accolades, Sharon continued: ‘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. 

Amanda had previously called Sharon and her pal Louis Walsh ‘bitter and pathetic’ after slagging off Simon on CBB (pictured last week), saying he had ‘given them a lot of money and a lifestyle they probably wouldn’t have had’

‘I was also a very successful festival producer with Ozfest which ran for 24 years, as well as a best-selling author and producer of the hit show ‘The Osbournes’ for which I received an Emmy Award. 

‘Amanda, I think you’re missing the point here, no disrespect to Simon Cowell, but he NEEDED ME for musical credibility on X Factor and I delivered for him and together all of us made a great team.’

Not afraid to speak her mind and spill behind the scenes secrets about the showbiz industry, Sharon and Louis didn’t hold back during their time on Celebrity Big Brother last year. 

During an episode, Sharon said she was ‘furious’ with Simon because she claimed he didn’t renew her contract when she expected he would which meant she lost out on another major TV gig.

Meanwhile, Louis revealed he no longer spoke to his former partner in crime despite once sharing the most talked about bromance in Britain.

Speaking about the interaction, Amanda told the Daily Mail: ‘I thought, “Oh my God, it’s like watching a pantomime.” I just think they look so nasty and awful.

‘There was a friendship there and an opportunity. So however the business ends, you should have respect for the opportunity that was given to you and the pay cheque that was given to you. Just be gracious. There was none of that and I can’t bear it.’

Snapping back, Sharon explained that none of her success was down to Simon and instead due to her own work and that of her husbands. 

She continued: ‘It was only after several seasons of X Factor that Simon started to build his music empire and I give him much kudos for what he built. When I met my husband I was already very well established in the music industry. 

‘Having worked with bands like Electric Light Orchestra, Motorhead, Smashing Pumpkins, Gary Moore, The Move , Roy Woods, Wizzard, Linsey de Paul, Breitt Ekland and Black Sabbath to name a few. 

 

Sharon took to Twitter to issue the presenter with a full statement and accused her of being an ‘ill informed sycophantic’ 

‘I think you must have forgotten my husband is a music icon who has sold 170million albums, won multiple Grammy Awards, and is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. 

‘We have been together for 44 years and he has spoiled me from the first day we met, he has given me more than any man could, all of this before I ever knew who Simon Cowell was.’

Signing off, Sharon concluded: ‘In closing I must say whenever I have seen you on TV I always thought you were very beautiful and talented. However, never make comments about my lifestyle given to me by Simon Cowell. 

‘It’s demeaning to me and my husband and all the achievements I have made in my life as you’re making yourself look like an ill informed sycophantic. 

‘Sincerely, Sharon Osbourne’.
