She's now officially the Golden Girl of ITV with a WHOPPING take home salary...

Amanda Holden has overtaken Holly Willoughby as the highest paid female television presenter, according to reports.

Holly has held the top spot over recent years, last year pocketing a reported extra £2.5m for her one-time job presenting I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! with Declan Donnelly.

But Amanda has had a busy year of her own and has now surpassed her daytime telly TV rival, earning an estimated £5m a year, it's reported.

She’s thought to earn £1m from her regular spot on the judging panel on Britain’s Got Talent,and has also secured a string of six-figure deals on top of her TV work, including being an ambassador for M&S and ranges with QVC interiors and a clothing line, Fenn Wright Manson.

Her biggest take-home is from her daily breakfast show on Heart radio, and extra income comes from a new record deal with EMI after a clip of her singing went viral.

“She loves the glitz and glamour but also is very down to earth. She’s as happy rubbing shoulders with superstars as she is in Cornwall with the family. Amanda has now overtaken other female TV stars including Holly Willoughby and the likes of Claudia Winkleman.

“She’s hot property and ITV’s golden girl.”

Amanda has also been known to step in for Holly on This Morning, but recently there were reports of a feud between her and fellow presenter Philip Schofield, with speculation that she's now been banned for life from the This Morning sofa.

“Amanda was so excited when she learnt she had secured the role," a source told The Sun.

“So she was shocked when she was taken out to lunch by ITV executives who told her that unfortunately they couldn’t follow through with the offer. During the lunch they let slip they thought the decision had been heavily influenced by Phil and that he had thrown a spanner in the works."
