Britain's Got Talent's Amanda Holden issues three-word response over viewer complaints
Amanda Holden has recently received Ofcom complaints for her daring Britain's Got Talent outfits
KSI shares who he wants to win BGT
Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden has issued a three-word response over recent viewer complaints.
A judge on the show since 2007, Amanda faced scrutiny from Ofcom after certain viewers expressed displeasure over her risqué wardrobe choices that showed off her figure.
Amanda's selection of garments, often featuring bold plunging necklines and high thigh splits, recently became the focus of Ofcom complaints from disgruntled TV-watchers.
However, Amanda, aged 54, recently took the opportunity to respond to the criticism in a candid chat with Closer magazine, asserting her love for what she wears on screen with a succinct response: "I'm never worried," reports the Mirror.
"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.

She went on to encourage a light-hearted approach to fashion, saying: "I think people should have fun with fashion!"
In discussing her styling process with The Sun, the mother-of-two revealed an extensive pre-show routine involving her ensemble.
"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 said.
With a touch of humour, Amanda added: "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's clear that Amanda isn't inclined to tone down her outfit choices.

Away from her role on Britain's Got Talent, Amanda is gearing up to co-host a new renovation series with Alan Carr, aptly named Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job.
And she's already contemplating how to bring a bit of glamour to her workwear.
"It's a joy to wear something so different, and nice to be able to breathe out, with no side boob," she told The Sun.

She went on to say: "Though next year I might have some side boob."
Amanda concluded: "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."

Love Island shock twist as MORE dumped stars return to villa in just a few days' time – and it's going to be explosive
LOVE Island stars are set for another shock twist as a slew of former contestants will return in "explosive" scenes. The Sun can exclusively report how the "entire" 2025 Love Island cohort will make a second entrance into the Mallorca villa. 6 6 6 We can reveal how they will come "face to face" with current Islanders - which might make for many awkward moments to come. A source told us the scenes will air on ITV2 soon and said: "The entire cast will be returning to the villa this week - just like the 'jury' in All Stars earlier this year. "They'll come face to face with the stars who dumped them, and in some cases, have slagged them off live on TV!" Previously, All Stars alum Mitch Taylor told how show bosses kept their season's jury vote secret from the stars. Last year, he told how they were not allowed to discuss their nominations or have any interaction with the cast. Meanwhile, in February All Stars beauty Liv Hawkins reignited her feud with model Grace Jackson. The bad blood was sparked when Liv returned briefly with a major revelation about the Manchester lass during the dumping ceremony. She claimed she'd seen text messages from Grace to someone where she'd declared she would "do anything to win the show this time". Our source added of the current show twist: "It'll be explosive and must watch TV - during All Stars Liv Hawkins spilled a secret that changed the outcome of the entire show so the cast will be VERY nervous when they realise what is about to happen!" Watch the moment This Morning accidentally reveals Love Island bombshell is returning to the villa live on TV It comes as fans are already convinced Helena and Blu have been secretly given the boot after the pair did not appear in the show's preview clip. Meanwhile, axed star Giorgio also let slip he was making a comeback live on This Morning. HUGE RETURN Meanwhile, the former show stars will be following in the footsteps of Megan and Blu, who made their surprise comebacks last week. The public previously turned on Megan after she dumped Tommy for Conor in her final few days. Yet she has re-coupled with Conor now she's back in the matchmaking show compound. LOVE ISLAND 2025 - ALL the dumped stars so far LOVE Island 2025 is in its penultimate week. Here are all the dumped Islanders so far ... Sophie Lee Blu Chegini (has since returned) Malisha Jordan Will Means Shea Mannings Poppy Harrison Caprice Alexandra Megan Clarke (has since returned) Remell Mullins Ryan Bannister Alima Gagigo Martin Enitan Chris Middleton Yas Broom Rheo Parnel Giorgio Russo Emily Moran Andrada Pop Ben Holbrough Tommy Bradley Lucy Quinn Lauren Wood Harrison Solomon (quit) Emma Munro Boris Vidovic Billykiss Azeez Blu was initially dumped after being left single - and had to fight for his place opposite bombshell Shea. He is now in a friendship couple with Helena, after she split with Harry. Megan said before heading back to Love Island: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity. "It was an easy decision to make. When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers." Blu said: "There's a bit of open space now and people know the game a little bit more, so hopefully the couple of girls I've got my eyes on are willing to explore. "I told you all from the get go I'm not leaving and I'm not f***ing leaving!" Yet sadly he has been accused of being "furniture" after being pied three times on his show return. 6 6 6

Janet Street Porter reveals which Loose Women panellists are safe from ITV cuts as show faces biggest ever shake up
Producers have also decided to drop the live studio audience next year in a major shake up CUT LOOSE? Janet Street Porter reveals which Loose Women panellists are safe from ITV cuts as show faces biggest ever shake up JANET Street Porter has revealed which Loose Women panellists are safe amid ITV budget cuts. In May, The Sun revealed that the daytime show will return in 2026 with a reduced run of just 30 episodes. 3 Janet Street Porter has revealed which panellists are safe amid ITV budget cuts Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 The Sun revealed that show will return in 2026 with a reduced run of just 30 episodes Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Janet said the 'older' panellists will be safe unlike younger newcomers Credit: Shutterstock Editorial It follows broader budget reductions across the channel, which also include halving Lorraine's airtime to 30 minutes and airing it only during school term times. Now long-term Loose Women panel member Janet, 78, has hinted that "older" members of the team are safe, but younger newcomers are likely to face the chop. "There are no plans to get rid of the older women despite of what some people have said," Janet insisted. "In fact, the reserve is true. "ITV actually put out a statement saying we are the valued members of the show because the audience totally relates to us." Janet, who joined the panel in 2011, continued to Bella Magazine: "I think Loose Women has become a programme that is trusted by a lot of women because we talk about the issues that they are concerned about - whether it's female health, domestic violence, or how politicians don't really understand working women. "I think the show has managed to connect women who wouldn't otherwise have a voice. "And it's delivered with a lot of laughs because we don't take ourselves too seriously." Last month it was revealed that producers had decided to drop the live studio audience next year as part of a series of cost-cutting changes to its daytime programming. However, the change has prompted concern among production staff and presenters, including Ruth Langsford, Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha and Charlene White, who rely on audience reactions to shape the tone of the live discussions. Loose Women star admits she is 'absolutely devastated' and 'can't get over it' as her friend and co-star has been axed in brutal ITV cutbacks A source told MailOnline: "The panelists are really upset over the decision to axe the live studio audience from the show. "It's what sets the series apart from the rest of ITV daytime and now there are massive fears that viewers will switch off completely. "The only concern now is to cut costs and having a live studio audience can be expensive, with the added need for security and a warmup artist. "Presenters already know how it feels to broadcast the show without an audience because that's what happened during the pandemic, and they all know it creates low mood and lack of atmosphere." An ITV source told The Sun: "While there is a proposal to not have a studio audience for Loose Women from 2026, that doesn't necessarily mean that we'll never have a studio audience again, it just won't be in the same way as it is now. "At this stage we are still exploring new ways of working and producing the show when we move to a new studio next year." Last month, Kaye Adams broke her silence on the chaos at Loose Women, admitting she's had sleepless nights over the cuts. Speaking on her podcast, How To Be 60, Kaye said she felt as though 'the rug had been pulled' from underneath her. The 62-year-old confessed: 'It did come out of the blue. "I didn't anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life. "I had a couple of sleepless nights I have to say, because it's just like the rug's been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar.' Kaye, who is one of Loose Women's main anchors, said: 'It's going to have an impact. Lots of people will lose their jobs completely which is terrible. It's a huge change. 'But I gave myself a talking to and I listened to my own advice for once – change is hard, but it can be good. 'The past is a trap, don't fear the future – I'm telling myself all these things. And maybe this is the nudge that I needed to make some changes in my life and I'll just have to go with it.' It has been rumoured that the pool of Loose Women panellists will be reduced as part of the cutbacks, which will be introduced from January. So far none of the hosts know if their livelihoods are at stake. It is not yet known whether younger panellists, such as former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood, 34, and influencer GK Barry, 25, will be favoured over veteran stars including Janet Street-Porter, 78, and Jane Moore, 63.

Line of Duty confirmed for TV comeback four years after dramatic finale
Line of Duty is making a comeback, with creator Jed Merucio working on a new script Line of Duty is making a comeback to screens. The BBC's police procedural drama initially aired over the course of six series from 2012 until 2021 and now Adrian Dunbar, who starred as Superintendent Ted Hastings, has confirmed that the show's creator Jed Merucio is working on a new script. He said: "We're really excited about getting our hands on a Line of Duty script, to see what happens to us." The Ridley star did admit that an official announcement is yet to be made, but teased what is to come on the programme, which could air in 2026, as he told The Times: "It is down to the BBC to make an announcement, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that next year we'll be working on a new series. No doubt Jed will think of some interesting twists and turns." Adrian starred alongside Vicky McClure, and Martin Compston amongst a host of others on what became the broadcaster's highest-rated drama series in almost 20 years when it initially aired. For nine years, fans of the crime drama were gripped as they watched Hastings and his team try to track down a villain who went by the code name "H". Martin played DS Steve Arnott in the show, which came to an end in 2021 when his character and his team discovered the identity of "H". It was recently rumoured that a reunion was on the cards and Adrian's confirmation about a new script come just weeks after Martin himself spoke out on the idea of more episodes. Martin shared details on whether viewers can expect more from the series. "We're always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot," he said to The Sun. Martin didn't dare share more and added: "Everybody's got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off." At the end of series six, the master villain was unmasked as Detective Superintendent Ian Buckells, played by Nigel Boyle - but some fans were disappointed by the reveal. Now more crime-fuelled drama is reportedly expected to erupt as the cast are reuniting for new batch of episodes. Before Martin discussed a potential new series, a source told the same publication that Adrian, Vicky McClure and Martin will reunite to film six new episodes. The show, created by Jed Mercurio, is expected to begin filming in January 2026. The Sun reported at the time: "This is the news Line of Duty fans have been waiting for since the sixth season left them deflated when it aired back in 2021. The BBC almost immediately requested more episodes to continue the story, but the success of the show meant Vicky, Martin and Adrian were instantly snapped up for other projects. 'But after several meetings with Jed [Mercurio, creator and writer] and the production team, they've finally managed to clear space in their calendars next year to commit to making the show.' Christina Chong, who plays DI Nicola Rogerson, previously revealed she was contacted about reprising her role. She told the Daily Mail: 'So I have been asked about a season, is it seven? Yeah. Potentially Nicola Rogerson will be back for season 7.' Prior to all these, Adrian, said in August that he was desperate to get back into character for another series. He told Good Housekeeping: 'We all want another series. We filmed our last series in lockdown, which meant we didn't get to do anything other than work, so we're really keen to get together for one last hurrah."
