The actress flashed a beaming smile while making her grand entrance alongside Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli and Alesha Dixon - and a pair of stunning dancers.
She wore her blonde locks in a sleek bun and accentuated her natural beauty with a full face of make-up.
It was just hours ago that Amanda clapped back at Ofcom complaints over her daring BGT wardrobe - insisting she "really loves" her sexy attire.
The presenter spoke out ahead of the reality TV show's live final this weekend.
In the past she's sparked 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.
SPEAK OUT
The mum of two previously insisted BGT is "the perfect opportunity to take risks".
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.
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 confessed to The Sun she might sex up her overalls for any future series of Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job.
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.'

The CEO of Hubtel, which provides cyber-security services for the charity, said: "The terror I feel when I think about doing this is brought into sharp perspective by the reason we're doing it.
