The ITV show got 96 Ofcom complaints in total.
The majority of complainants - a whopping 72 - related to Amanda and Alesha's dresses.
Other complaints were about language used by Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell, the overall winner of the competition, and Joseph Charm's act.
At the time of the final airing, fans were vocal about both Amanda and Alesha's looks.
Many thought the two outfits the ladies donned were inappropriate for a family show due to them being sexy.
Amanda could be seen wearing a plunging white floor-length gown, while Alesha rocked an almost fully-sheer number.
Looking sensational, Amanda had her hair tied back with an ornate headpiece caressing her head.
Her dress was a crisp white hue and bared her chest for all to see.
Meanwhile, Alesha wore a sparkly sheer frock with her underwear on display underneath.
"Love the show, but what a shame that Amanda and Alesha have to dress like they are going to some special nightclub," said one person on X.
"Catching up on #BGT and what is Amanda wearing? Not really appropriate for a family show," fumed a second.
A third then compared Amanda's dress to a "tea towel".
While a fourth said: "Amanda holdens wardrobe/dresser needs fired asap ... what a mess."
"What on earth is Amanda Holden wearing?" asked a fifth.
While a sixth slammed: "Really? I'm watching with my 11 year old and would have liked a beautiful woman like Alesha show that you can look stunning without having to show your bra to the world.
"Not a fan of what Amanda is wearing either really."
Despite her racy looks often sparking outrage among viewers, Amanda promised sizzling ensembles ahead of the most recent BGT series airing.
"I haven't even thought about my semi-finals outfits yet.
"But I constantly scroll through Instagram when I'm on car journeys and bombard my stylist with loads of ideas," she went on.
"It's thigh splits and cleavage," she cackled in a chat with us ahead of the season premiere.
She added: "I have a whole 't*t committee' [in the production team] that watches everything [to prevent 'accidents'].
"Hopefully they'll keep an eye on Bruno's t*ts as well, because I think he shows far more than I do at the moment!"

Therapist reveals ten signs that you may have grown up with a narcissistic mother - and need to 'heal your inner child'
A therapist has revealed ten signs that could mean you grew up with a narcissist mother - and how they could still be affecting you as a grown-up. Taking to TikTok, complex trauma survivor and inner child healing specialist Carly Boyle, who is UK based, shared past behaviours to reflect on and see if any resonate, as they could have long-term impacts on who you are today. The first, she expressed in the video, is that your parent made 'everything about her'. 'Even her emotions became your drama,' she explained. 'You were never the centre of your own story.' Next, the pro added, was instances where your feelings may have been invalidated - or you were told to 'stop being so sensitive'. 'Three, she used guilt as a form of manipulation and control,' Carly continued. 'You learned to put her needs above your own.' Another example of a narcissistic mother is one that 'competed with you instead of cheering you on' - never joining in to make you feel good about your looks, character or accomplishments. Elsewhere, despite causing emotional turmoil, this type of parent is one that 'never apologised even when clearly in the wrong', the therapist said. Instead, 'she gaslit you'. The sixth trait, Carly explained, was that despite being the one who had the duty to take care of you, she 'parentified you'. Instead, you became the one to offer her emotional support. Other traits also included bringing chaos into your life through unstable relationships, gaslighting you and telling you things didn't happen as they did, as well as withholding love - hence making affection feel 'conditional'. Finally, Carly recounted, she 'broke your sense of self' - and made you feel scared to explore who you are as a person outside of your mother's child. The expert remarked that 'if you have experienced even just one of these then your inner child is still carrying the emotional burden that your mother placed on you'. She added that these are signs of 'emotional neglect', and demand 'inner child healing work'. In a caption, she also penned: 'If you grew up with a narcissistic mother, you might still be carrying the weight of her chaos. 'Maybe she made everything about her. Maybe her emotions always came first. Maybe you had to be the adult while she fell apart.' Her advice resonated with many commenters, many of whom opened up about their own experiences 'This kind of mother wounds your nervous system,' Carly wrote. 'It keeps the little girl inside of you stuck in survival mode - always trying to earn love, avoid conflict, and find safety in unstable people. 'You learned to silence your needs. To be the good girl. To not upset her. 'But deep down, you never got what every child deserves: stability, validation, and unconditional love.' She stressed: 'You are not broken. You were never too much. You were never the problem. 'Your healing begins when you stop minimising what you went through and start reparenting the little girl within.' Carly offers a workbook and course to help make the healing journey on her social media. Her advice resonated with many commenters, many of whom opened up about their own experiences. 'The silent treatment for days on end for doing something she didn't like or agree with,' one wrote. 'I'm 57 and she still does it,' another admitted. 'I never wanted to admit she was a narcissist, but she displayed all 10 behaviours,' a third penned. 'I finally woke up when I read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents… I'm 37 and I finally went no contact last month.' Another confessed: 'Yes to all of them. I'm no contact now and grieving the mum I wish I had. Hoping one day I'll know who I am.' 'All 10 of these behaviours happened,' one added. 'Now I have my own children and it is a daily battle to raise them better than I was raised, whilst trying to heal myself at the same time.' 'Bless her, she still does. She is 75 now,' another comment read 'So many emotions, but I am lucky that she is still with me.'

Two Emmerdale favourites rushed to hospital in horror emergency
TWO Emmerdale favourites will be rushed to A&E after dramatic car scenes. Emmerdale viewers will be left stunned as two villagers are taken to hospital in a dramatic turn of events that no one saw coming. 3 3 Next week on the ITV soap, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) risks it all as she faints behind the wheel of a car - but who is in the passenger seat? Determined to drop a few pounds before her big engagement bash, Gabby's all smug as the early days of her risky diet seem to pay off. But as the week goes on, the hunger games catch up - leaving her tired, cranky, and totally wiped out. In the run-up to her engagement party, Gabby ditches proper food and downs a mega quadruple black coffee - buzzing on caffeine but starving for real fuel. Later, she drags herself to the garage to check on her dodgy motor. Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) - who is recovering from major surgery - offers to join her for a spin to spot the fault. But, neither has a clue the terrifying drama that's about to hit the road. Actress Rosie teased: "Gabby wants this picture-perfect day, and her insecurities are coming out. "She starts crash dieting and drinking a hell of a lot of coffee, and putting exercise at the front of her mind. She takes things drastically. "It's a recipe for disaster. Gabby hasn't been eating so feels very tired and dizzy, and faints behind the wheel – which causes her to swerve." Sarah is forced to slam on the brakes and pull over quick, even though it could rip open her fresh stitches from her surgery. With both women in a bad way, they head to A&E - will they be okay? Rosie shared: "At the hospital Gabby is diagnosed with low blood sugar. "The women in her life tell her how ridiculous it is she's risking her health and her life for one day, one dress.
