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."
Britain's Got Talent is available to stream on ITVX

Reason Gary Lineker's final interview with Mohamed Salah was 'scrapped' revealed

Gary Lineker's interview with Mohamed Salah was due to air after his BBC exit (Picture: PA) The alleged reason for Gary Lineker's final blow from the BBC ahead of his exit has been revealed. Lineker, 64, bowed out of presenting Match of the Day last month after 26 years at the helm. It was initially claimed that the sports pundit was due to interview Liverpool star Mohamed Salah before his exit, but the BBC has scotched reports that the reason they put a stop to the interview was because they feared discussions would turn political. The broadcaster has now made it clear that 'the only reason' the interview was cancelled was because of when it was due to air. A source allegedly told The Sun: 'The plan was for the interview to be shown across the BBC the weekend of Gary's final Match of the Day. 'That would include on Football Focus the day before, as well as online and on social media.' Last month, Lineker signed off from hosting Match of the Day after 26 years (Picture: Nick Potts/PA Wire) But 'out of nowhere, it got cancelled' by Director of Sport Alex Kay-Jelski, who took over the role from Barbara Slater last April. 'Some people think they didn't want Gary and Mo to talk about Gaza,' said the source. 'Salah has spoken out in his support for Palestinians living in Gaza, and Gary has made his feelings clear too.' Bosses reportedly feared the ongoing war would 'come up naturally in conversation'. Consequently, the BBC preferred to 'axe' the interview rather than 'risk possible editorial issues'. 'They'd only just overcome one storm, so to face another would have been a nightmare.' It's reported there is 'no love lost' between the pundit and the BBC's Director of Sport (Picture: Ash Knotek/Shutterstock for AWEu) To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page But when contacted for comment, a BBC spokesperson told Metro that the interview was actually scrapped for a different reason. 'The only reason the interview was cancelled was because it was planned to air after Gary's last match of the day, and it would be wrong to suggest anything else,' they said. It comes after a source also previously told The Sun that Lineker was 'well-liked' among his co-stars ahead of his departure. Lineker's final MOTD aired last Sunday, which he fronted alongside pundits Micah Richards and Alan Shearer, with whom he also presents the Rest Is Football podcast. He announced his departure from the BBC following a row after he shared a post about Zionism, which featured a depiction of a rat, historically an antisemitic insult. Lineker, the BBC's highest-paid presenter on a £1.4million salary, issued an unreserved apology over the Instagram Story, as it was confirmed he would leave his presenting role at the Beeb early and would no longer front coverage of the 2026 World Cup or next season's FA Cup. Lineker fought back tears in his final MOTD sign-off (Picture: PA/BBC) 'On Instagram I reposted material which I have since learned contained offensive references,' he said in a statement at the time. 'I very much regret these references. 'I would never knowingly share anything antisemitic. It goes against everything I believe in.' Lineker deleted the post 'as soon as [he] became aware of the issue.' In his final sign-off from the highlights show, he struggled to speak through tears. Lineker described his time on the programme as 'utterly joyous' as he thanked his co-stars and those working behind the scenes. 'Let me take this opportunity to thank all of the other pundits I've had the pleasure of working with over the last 25 years. You've made my job so much easier,' he began. The footie icon said it was a 'privilege' to front the highlights show for so long (Picture: Darren Staples/AFP via Getty Images) Lineker continued: 'Also, a huge thank you to those you don't see at home. The work that goes into making this iconic show is a huge team effort, from the editors to the analysis team to the commentators to the producers to the floor managers to the camera operators to the PAs to the subs. Thank you, all. You're the very best. 'Rather like my football career, everyone else did all the hard work, and I got applauded. 'It's been an absolute privilege to have hosted Match of the Day for a quarter of a century; it's been utterly joyous.' Reflecting on his final show afterwards on his podcast, Lineker admitted he 'struggled' to 'keep it together' when a montage of his career highlights was shown. Gabby Logan, Kelly Cates, and Mark Chapman will replace the Leicester-born star and share the presenting role from the next Premier League season, with Lineker wishing them 'all the very best when they sit in this chair'.
