Prior to the night’s proceedings she took to Twitter to post her excitement, saying: ‘Can't wait to catch up with @Amanda_Holden later! It's been too long! xxx’

Meanwhile, Amanda - who is currently covering for Holly Willoughby on ITV's This Morning - recently let slip that Simon Cowell had planned for One Direction to take a break before Zayn Malik quit.

Speaking live on television, Holden revealed: 'This is what I kind of heard, I thought there was going to be a little break. I mean that's before any of that happened. Before Zayn leaving or anything.

'I thought there was going to be a break so they could all have a rest.'

Continuing she added: 'I think somebody would have liked them to have taken a break.'

When quizzed by her co-host Phillip Schofield as to how she acquired such insider information, she said: 'I just think it would have been better. Moving on. I think a little rest would have been better, then no one might have left then.'
