Amanda Holden has addressed Ofcom complaints about her daring outfits on the ITV show but insists her wardrobe is always checked by production before walking out on stage
Amanda Holden's outfits on Britain's Got Talent have perhaps attracted as much attention from viewers as the talent on stage, vying for a place in the final. The presenter, who has been a judge on the show since 2007, became the main subject of complaints to Ofcom for her choice of wearing sexy outfits, showing off her enviable figure.
So much so, her outfits, which have consisted of plunging necklines or high thigh splits, caused outrage among viewers, if the complaints to the broadcasting watchdog are anything to go by.
‌
But now, in a recent interview, the star, 54, has decided to address the complaints. She told Closer: "What you see on TV, I really love. I'm always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I'm never worried."
‌
She added: "I think people should have fun with fashion!"
In another interview, the mum of two opened up about the process her wardrobe goes through before she steps out in front on the cameras.
‌
She previously told The Sun: "There's now a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air."
Amanda continued: "There's a t*t committee. There are so many brilliant people, they come down, knock on the door and there's the lady who's the producer who said, 'Mandy, it looks great'."
‌
Despite being at the forefront of Ofcom complaints, it looks as though the TV star has no desire to dim down the sexiness of her outfits.
Away from the panel of Britain's Got Talent, Amanda is set to host a renovation show with Alan Carr, titled Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job.
And she is already thinking of ways to add a touch of sexy to her overalls.
‌
She told the publication: "It's a joy to wear something so different, and nice to be able to breathe out, with no side boob. "
She added: "Though next year I might have some side boob."
She continued: "For now, I always go pretty classy and standard. I've got my name on the back, but I didn't even do that in Spanish — I've got Handy Mandy. I should have put Handios Mandios."
Britain's Got Talent final will air at 7pm on Saturday 31 May.
