The ITV show got 96 Ofcom complaints in total.
The majority of complainants - a whopping 72 - related to Amanda and Alesha's dresses.
Other complaints were about language used by Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell, the overall winner of the competition, and Joseph Charm's act.
At the time of the final airing, fans were vocal about both Amanda and Alesha's looks.
Many thought the two outfits the ladies donned were inappropriate for a family show due to them being sexy.
Amanda could be seen wearing a plunging white floor-length gown, while Alesha rocked an almost fully-sheer number.
Looking sensational, Amanda had her hair tied back with an ornate headpiece caressing her head.
Her dress was a crisp white hue and bared her chest for all to see.
Meanwhile, Alesha wore a sparkly sheer frock with her underwear on display underneath.
"Love the show, but what a shame that Amanda and Alesha have to dress like they are going to some special nightclub," said one person on X.
"Catching up on #BGT and what is Amanda wearing? Not really appropriate for a family show," fumed a second.
A third then compared Amanda's dress to a "tea towel".
While a fourth said: "Amanda holdens wardrobe/dresser needs fired asap ... what a mess."
"What on earth is Amanda Holden wearing?" asked a fifth.
While a sixth slammed: "Really? I'm watching with my 11 year old and would have liked a beautiful woman like Alesha show that you can look stunning without having to show your bra to the world.
"Not a fan of what Amanda is wearing either really."
Despite her racy looks often sparking outrage among viewers, Amanda promised sizzling ensembles ahead of the most recent BGT series airing.
"I haven't even thought about my semi-finals outfits yet.
"But I constantly scroll through Instagram when I'm on car journeys and bombard my stylist with loads of ideas," she went on.
"It's thigh splits and cleavage," she cackled in a chat with us ahead of the season premiere.
She added: "I have a whole 't*t committee' [in the production team] that watches everything [to prevent 'accidents'].
"Hopefully they'll keep an eye on Bruno's t*ts as well, because I think he shows far more than I do at the moment!"

SHANE WATSON: I'm a fashion expert. Yes, you can wear lace over 50, but only if you follow my 3 strict rules and NEVER wear this one colour
What do you think of when you think of lace? Spanish mantillas? Those lacy black tights we all wore in the Eighties? A wedding dress? Princess Caroline of Monaco's wedding dress? (Google it if you don't remember, it's the very heaven of wedding dresses). I'll tell you what I think when I think about lace: lovely on my stepdaughter, not on me or anyone over 50. A lace trim, a glimpse of lace in the neckline of a jacket, maybe: anything more is an instant ager.

Prince William's cousin Lady Marina Windsor reveals she's engaged in surprise post - as she shows off her stunning ring
Lady Marina Windsor has announced she is engaged. The philanthropic executive, 32, who is the third cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry, shared the news to Instagram on Sunday with a series of sweet snaps of herself and now-fiancé Nico Macauley, also 32. A short caption, reading 'very happy' was enough to convey how Marina, the granddaughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, felt about being betrothed to her partner of two years and becoming the future Mrs Macauley. Lady Marina and Nico, an account executive with Zscaler, have rarely been spotted out together, which has perhaps left fans shocked by the news of the happy engagement. The royal, who was 25th in line to the British throne before being excluded in 2008 after she was confirmed as a Roman Catholic, was recently spotted at a lavish soirée in Kew Gardens attended by the King and Queen, though her beau was nowhere in sight. And though he has made a series of loved up appearances on her Instagram page, accompanying captions have often left fans wondering about the nature of their relationship. Today all was confirmed with three images showing Lady Marina's gorgeous engagement ring which was front and centre in all posts. The silver ring featured what appeared to be a smooth circular onyx gemstone sealed in the centre of the jewel. The first picture featured the newly engaged couple smiling gleefully for the camera while Marina showed of the precious jewel with lightly manicured nails. Donning a white floral dress, and no make-up she looked straight at the lens while bearing a large smile. The next image was dimly-lit and taken in what appeared to be the backdrop of a restaurant, though her large grin could be spotted from miles away. The third picture showed Marina in a yellow dress and Nico in a navy blue wool jacket, as the happy pair shared a toast to the good news. Messages of congratulations poured in for the soon-to-be husband and wife, including one from her younger sister, Lady Amelia Windsor, 29. 'Yippeeee!' wrote the model. Other people stated their pleasure at the happy news, while one person said the announcement left them 'crying'. In 2023, Marina shocked fans when she attended a pal's wedding wearing traditional Nigerian attire. While some members of the Royal Family were preparing their outfits for King Charles's Coronation, Lady Marina Windsor was seen enjoying dressing up in a Nigerian custom look. She was spotted donning a head wrap, called a gele, with a lilac, laced dress, which was all to do with a friend's wedding in the West African country. She was joined by her fellow British bridesmaids, Marina Cochrane and Rose Crosthwaite, who work in the art world. Lady Marina has been on the Buckingham Palace balcony at previous royal occasions but wasn't there for the Coronation because she's not a working member of 'The Firm'.
