Britain's Got Talent's Amanda Holden sparks up record-breaking Ofcom complaints with racy dress

Britain's Got Talent viewers have made hundreds of Ofcom complaints after judge Amanda Holden wore a racy outfit. The mum-of-two is known for pushing boundaries with her outfits however fans think one particular dress was ‘not suitable’ for the show.

Taking inspiration from celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Minogue, Amanda said that the ITV talent show is the perfect show to ‘take risks’. As reported by Liverpool Echo, Amanda said: "Times have changed and I don’t feel anyone should feel pressure to dress for your age. It’s all about body positivity and feeling good."

She added that her mum Judith Harrison told her that she "looked better than girls half her age".

The dress that caused a record-breaking 663 Ofcom complaints was an £11,000 Julian McDonald number. The dress that Amanda wore back in 2017, had a plunging neckline where a lot of Amanda's chest and stomach could be seen as the outfit dropped to her navel.

Whilst Amanda looked stunning in the dress, fans weren’t impressed and racked up 663 Ofcom complaints. However, the talent judge took no notice of the haters.

She said: "That dress was hysterical – it was Julien Macdonald. I had bits of fish wire underneath my breasts trying to hold that together. But, look, I'm from a small-chest family, plus you know I'm 48 years old.

"It's all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about. It's been called another national ­crisis – but, oh no, I will not be covered up."

At the time, one fan tweeted: "So Amanda is effectively topless on Britain's Got Talent", while another said it was "totally NOT suitable". Ofcom decided not to investigate the complaints.
