Amanda Holden ignores critics as she wows in revealing gown for BGT final
Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has stunned in her final outfit for the ITV talent competition after vowing to never tone down her fashion choices despite backlash Amanda Holden looked sensational as she stepped out for the live Britain's Got Talent final. The judge, 54, headed out onto the stage with her fellow co-stars Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli. She made sure to pull out all the stops for the grand final of the ITV talent show competition as just one contestant will earn a coveted slot at the Royal Variety Performance. Amanda rocked a revealing white gown Fans rushed to share their love for the outfit as one said, "Amanda looks incredible in that white dress #bgt #BGTFinal." Another tweeted: "Amanda Holden looking stunning for tonight's Britain's Got Talent final." A third said: "Amanda Holden gets better looking with age! #BGT." Amanda has sparked backlash thanks to some of her bold looks on the family-friendly show over the years, even landing herself in hot water with Ofcom. Some fans have called for her to "cover up" but Amanda has vowed to not tone down on her looks. In July 2017, Amanda rocked a plunging see-through Julien Macdonald dress that became the most complained about TV moment of the year. Amanda joked the furore was a 'national crisis', teasing: "I had bits of fish wire underneath my breasts trying to hold that together... It's all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about. It's been called another national crisis – but, oh no, I will not be covered up." Her risqué frocks have become so talked about that she even has a team to check her chest before the live shows. "There's a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air," she previously 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'." Ahead of this year's final, Amanda gave an insight into how the judges will be celebrating when the show wraps. She said: "Normally the party is in my room after the show! "Bruno is the first in for a glass of red before the producers and perhaps my Golden Buzzer act pop in. The door is always open and the bubbles are always flowing. "My husband and girls have been down to the show most weeks too, which has been super special... I'd say Simon is the biggest joker now, especially now that his son Eric comes down to auditions and the live shows. He's much more emotional now and loves to see Eric laughing." She added to Closer magazine: "Simon will quite often look to Eric to see how he is reacting to an act. We joke that all our kids will replace us soon on the panel in the years to come."
