BGT's Amanda Holden dons wild Union Jack flag gown to celebrate Platinum Jubilee

Amanda Holden clearly decided that flying the flag for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee wasn't enough this evening - she had to wear it as well.

Attending the last Britain's Got Talent live semi-final, the 51-year-old judge looked incredible in a wild Union Jack gown.

Earlier on today, Amanda visited a number of London's most famous landmarks in the bespoke House of Sheldon Hall gown.

The ruffled and ruched dress reimagined the flag in bright bursts of red, white and blue and looked incredible on the judge as it billowed in the wind.

Appearing at Leicester Square, Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament, Amanda struck a pose in the typically moody British weather.

It comes as the final two acts will be picked this evening to join the grand finale on Sunday.

So far, the acts in the line-up are Maxwell Thorpe, Jamie Leahey, Ben Nickless, Flintz and Taylor, Tom Ball, Eva Albey, Loren Allred and Five Star Boys.

The start of semi-finals week proved to be controversial, however, after fan favourite The Witches failed to make it through.

Upset fans accused the judges of "ruining" The Witches act as they joked and chatted throughout the performance, with some claiming that they had destroyed the creepy atmosphere that the performer had been trying to create.

One tweeted: "I really hope the witches get an apology from the judges for the absolute lack of repsect they showed through out the act and the guy had to stay in character. Wasn't even funny ruined the atmosphere #BGT."

While another fumed: "If I was The Witches I’d be so p***ed off, act totally sabotaged by the judges #bgt."

A third raged: "Judges completely ruined The Witches act tonight - at least show a bit of respect to what he/she is trying to do #BGT."

Later on in the week, fans were also convinced that another scary magic act - The Phantom - was a former contestant on the show.
