Amanda is well-known for her daring outfits on the Britain's Got Talent panel, and has faced a slew of Ofcom complaints for some of her most controversial selections.
In the past she's sparked thousands of letters of anger to the broadcasting watchdog from viewers outraged over her flashing the flesh.
This has included a plunging wet-look dress as well as garments with plunging necklines for the family-friendly tea-time series.
Now she has insisted: "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 to Closer Magazine: "I think people should have fun with fashion!"
It remains to be seen what she will wear during the show final this weekend.

She previously told The Sun her outfits are so famously controversial they're now monitored before she steps on-stage.
"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," she explained.
Simon Cowell makes HUGE dig at Amanda Holden's age in Britain's Got Talent live show judges row-
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'."
Meanwhile, cheeky Amanda recently revealed her plan to sex up her outfits for her new TV show away from BGT.

She said: 'It's a joy to wear something so different, and nice to be able to breathe out, with no side boob.
"Though next year I might have some side boob.

'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.'

Thousands complain over ‘misogynistic' Love Island behaviour
Ofcom received over 1,000 complaints about alleged "misogynistic" and " bullying" behaviour from contestants on Love Island last week. More than half of these complaints concerned the 18 July episode, with specific allegations against Harrison, Harry, and Dejon for misogyny, and concerns for Shakira's mental wellbeing. Women's Aid issued a statement criticising the show for "reinforcing culture trivialising violence against women and girls". Contestant Harrison Solomon, who recently left the villa, apologised for his actions, admitting he "got it wrong" and hurt women like Toni and Lauren. Earlier episodes also drew significant complaints, with specific allegations of misogynistic behaviour against Harrison on 15 and 17 July.

Bobby Brazier spotted with Freddy despite his bitter admission about brother
Bobby and Freddy Brazier have been seen together after the EastEnders actor admitted he doesn't always like his younger brother Bobby Brazier and Freddy Brazier have been spotted together for the first time after a reported family feud. The brothers were seen together as they headed to see their dad Jeff in 101 Dalmatians: The Musical. Dad Jeff has made his debut in the West End show at the Eventim Apollo in London, where he stars as character Casper alongside the likes of JLS star Aston Merrygold and Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas. The pair were all smiles as they headed to the venue to watch their dad. Just the other day, dad Jeff updated fans on his son Freddy and their bond as he chatted with the Loose Women. "He's been a bit casual about it. I was with both the lads yesterday and Freddie is showing more eagerness to come and watch. Bobby is going to come soon and no doubt there will be a critique that follows. He does trust me, I think he's always admired the fact that I chuck myself in. Whether that's a good idea or not, it soon follows doesn't it?" he said. Bobby had previously said that his brother Freddy needed to "grow up". He explained that Freddy is "very sensitive" and "wants to please" people. He added: "When he grows up a little bit, that will serve him well. "There are things I don't like about him and there are things about me he doesn't like." He concluded: "Freddy will be OK I don't know if he looks up to me, but I look up to him in many ways, but he's a good boy." Earlier this year, it was reported that Jeff had launched legal proceedings to stop Freddy Brazier - from seeing his late reality TV star Jade's mother Jackiey. Also this year, Freddy announced he was planning to go to rehab. He said at the time: "I've decided that I will be cutting down and I want to go to Rehab In Marbs as I feel if I'm in England I won't take getting clean seriously. I've been smoking from the age of 12 and it's time to stop. It was a bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction, something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what OK. "I've found a boxing club and a rehabilitation centre. Ive found someone I want to get to know and I'm happy. I got a good bunch of friends and I [want to] get out and enjoy myself. I want to be clean so I can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family. He added: "I haven't been able to feel loved properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now. I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father."

UK to see 6,000 porn sites verifying user age, Ofcom says
Around 6,000 sites allowing porn in the UK will start checking the age of users from Friday, according to the media regulator Melanie Dawes, its chief executive, told the BBC "we are starting to see not just words but action from the technology industry" to improve child safety told BBC Radio Four's Today programme that "no other country had pulled off" such measures, nor gained commitments from so many platforms, including Elon Musk's X, around age the BBC understands some major porn sites operating in the UK do not seem to be requiring age checks as of Friday morning. And experts remain sceptical about the effectiveness of Ofcom's age checks and how easy it may be for people, particularly children, to circumvent said on Thursday that more platforms, including Discord, X (formerly Twitter), social media app Bluesky and dating app Grindr, had agreed to bring in age regulator had already received commitments from sites such as Pornhub - the UK's most visited porn website - and social media platform to verify age on Reddit appear to have taken effect across a wide range of its individual, topic-based subreddits, such as those dedicated to discussions about Technology Secretary Peter Kyle told BBC Newsbeat the UK's new rules apply "common sense" to regulating the internet."We're very used to proving our age in lots of different areas of life at the moment, and it makes sense that we do so more assertively when it comes to online activity," he said."I think people actually think it's pretty weird that you are age checked when you want to buy a can of Monster, but you're not age checked when you access certain material online." The UK's new online safety rules, explained:What is the Online Safety Act?How could age checks for porn work in the UK?From Reddit to Pornhub: Which sites will require UK age verification? Chris Sherwood, chief executive of children's charity the NSPCC, said Friday's new rules mean services "can no longer evade their duty for protecting children".He added it was "high time for tech companies to step up" and prevent children encountering harmful content on their platforms."Children, and their parents, must not solely bear the responsibility of keeping themselves safe online," he Prof Elena Martellozzo, professor of child sexual exploitation and abuse research at the University of Edinburgh, the rules send a message to the tech industry that "child safety and child protection are not optional"."Failing to act is no longer excusable under the guise of technical complexity or business models," she added. 'More to be done' Not all believe Ofcom's rules go far enough to protect children as intended, Molly Rose Foundation, a charity founded by the family of Molly Russell - who took her own life at the age of 14 after seeing harmful content online - has said stronger legislation is needed to better protect Burrows, the charity's chief executive, said Ofcom has prioritised "the business needs of big tech over children's safety", with thresholds for requirements and estimated costs for changes falling short of what is needed to force the largest companies to take Ray-Hill, interim head of the Internet Watch Foundation, meanwhile welcomed the new rules for sites allowing porn but said "there is still more to be done".He said platform operators should be considering how to make them safer by design and "doing everything they can to make sure we are building an internet that is safe for everyone".Others have have expressed concern that people may seek ways to circumvent so-called age gates on porn sites - potentially pushing them towards less regulated spaces with more dangerous and explicit sexual material."A lot of the porn out there is incredibly derogative to women and there's a lot of violence and aggression," said Reed Amber Thomas-Litman, a sex worker and educator."Of course people, not just kids or young adults, are going to mimic that."She told Newsbeat BBC providing information about porn as part of the sex education curriculum could "help young adults understand it is a fantasy, it is not reality".Age checks could also negatively impact people who do not feel comfortable sharing their identity, such as LGBTQ+ people, she said."If you have to hand over your ID, that means you have no protection where that information is going," she said."It could go to third party companies and who knows what they'll do with that information."Many of the sites which operate age verification services say they do not retain ID, videos or images required for them to carry out age checks for any longer than debate: Will the new rules for pornography sites do more harm than good?
