Unable to Delete Frequently Visited Sites

I have an iPhone 8 with the latest iOS (11.2.2). Just like always, whenever I visit a webpage enough in the safari browser, it sets that webpage as a “frequently visited site”, allowing me to just click on a link in order to open that page. Back when I had an iPhone 6, if I wanted to delete one of those frequently visited sites, all I had to do was press and hold on the link. Doing so would cause a small “x” to appear on the link, allowing me to delete the link from my list of frequently visited sites. I have tried doing the same thing with my iPhone 8, but it doesn’t work. Pressing and holding down on the link just opens the webpage in the browser. Is there some new way to delete individual links from your frequently visited sites list? Also, I believe that there is a way, within settings, to completely get rid of the frequently visited sites list. That isn’t what I want to do. I just want to delete individual links from the list, while keeping others. Thank you for any insight and help that you can give me! :)
