Valance unhappy with "strange" Amstell

Rex Features

Holly Valance has described Never Mind The Buzzcocks host Simon Amstell as "a pain in the a***".

The 25-year-old made the comments while discussing the pitfalls of a pop career with Metro, saying: "My main problems were with strange presenters who want to get you riled."

When asked if she was referring to sarcastic ex-Popworld presenter Amstell, Valance replied: "He's a well-known pain in the a*** among popstars. Why did he even do that job? He seems to hate everyone."

Valance can currently be seen in the Liam Neeson action film Taken.
