Amanda Holden sets pulses racing in a plunging cowl-neck gown for Britain's Got Talent final after she hit back at Ofcom outrage over her racy outfits
Amanda Holden set pulses racing in a plunging cowl-neck gown as she stepped out on stage for the Britain's Got Talent final. The BGT judge, 54, often steals the show with her eye-popping ensembles - and Saturday's final was no different. Amanda showed off her incredible physique in a figure-hugging white satin halterneck gown as she walked out on stage hand-in-hand with fellow judge Alesha Dixon. But in a racy display, Amanda's dress featured a plunging cowl-neckline which saw a glimpse of a silver metal bra lining. She paired the look with elegant white heels and slicked her fair locks into a neat kow bun, sporting a dramatic diamante head piece. Amanda's BGT looks have raised eyebrows and have sparked more than 1,000 Ofcom complaints over the years, but she has passionately hit back at the criticism recently. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Amanda said she works closely with her stylist on creating each look and insisted she loves every single outfit she has worn on the show since its launch in 2007. She told Closer magazine: '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. 'I think people should have fun with fashion!' It is not the first time Amanda has defended her fashion choices on the talent competition after coming under fire from some viewers. In 2022, she said: 'Fashion is about taking risks. I encourage everyone to have a little fun and be a little daring. I'd be bored playing it safe.' She added that her co-star Alesha Dixon, 46, never cops criticism for her racy outfits, describing the level of complaints as 'bizarre'. The TV star's bold fashion choices on Britain's Got Talent are often a talking point among fans of the series, with Amanda repeatedly forced to hit back at criticism. In one very famous moment, a daring Julien Macdonald gown she wore during the semi-final of BGT in 2017 attracted a staggering 663 Ofcom complaints. The plunging floor-length dress plunged down to the navel, with a cut-out panel that reached the small of her back - but it came under fire when furious viewers deemed it 'inappropriate'. Despite the £11,000 ensemble causing hundreds of viewers to complain to Ofcom, the media regulator decided not to investigate. Ofcom said that while it recognised the dress 'had potential to offend some viewers during what is a family show' - the outfit 'would not have exceeded most viewers' expectations'. In 2019, another of Amanda's dresses on the show sparked nine Ofcom complaints. The judge wore for a sheer dress with spiderweb detailing over the chest, but it was branded 'inappropriate' by viewers, with nine viewers complaining about the look. However, Amanda appeared to see the funny side as she took to Instagram to share a joke about a water bottle sitting on the judges panel acting as a 'nipple cover'. The following night, she sparked more Ofcom complaints as she strutted her stuff in a gown by Lebanese designer Saiid Kobeisy. In another controversy, the regulator said the dress received 34 complaints relating to her dress. During an October 2020 episode, Amanda once again wowed in a plum Suzanne Neville dress with a lace corset top that showed off her toned legs. Of the 896 reported complaints made to Ofcom about the episode, 136 of these were about her dress, with Amanda sharing her 'baffled' reaction to the outrage. 'Just to say this dress got a tiny 136 complaints out of the 896 we apparently got that night,' she said on Instagram at the time.

Britain's Got Talent fans hit out at judge during live final as they rage ‘what is he doing?'
BRITAIN'S Got Talent's finale is upon us and the finalists are putting their best foot forward to win over the final vote.

While they can't impact tonight's winner, they are still on hand to give their thoughts on the evening performances. With Wildcard singing duo Han and Fran kicking off the evening with an ABBA Medley, one judge seemed to be swept away with their act. Bruno, who previously judged Strictly Come Dancing, got up from out of his seat to give his deliberations. The judge is known for his flamboyant hand movements when describing acts, but viewers became annoyed when they noted that he couldn't seem to remain in his seat. After Ping Pong Pang - a paddle-focused dance act - completed their routine, Bruno gave his deliberations to the dance crew and the audience by standing up and recreating some of the moves, telling them he "loved them" by making heart symbols. He later remained stood up after the judges gave singing choir Hear Our Voice – made up of those affected by the Post Office scandal. "Someone glue Bruno to his seat FFGS," noted one viewer. "WTF is Bruno doing ? Sit the f'ing hell down." "Why can't Bruno sit down?," said a third, while a fourth commented: "Bruno is annoying why does he keep wanting all the attention when he's giving his comments? The standing up #BGT" "they give Bruno a chair and a microphone. what does he do? stands up and shouts," complained another. Britain's Got Talent brand ITV show a 'fix' as Bruno Tonioli's co-star blows judges away with audition On tonight's show, 10 finalists plus the bonus wildcard act are performing for the final time in order to be crowned champion.

Britain's Got Talent Judges The ITV talent show wouldn't be the same without the four charismatic judges who put the contestants through their paces. Simon Cowell is the staple of Britain's Got Talent and resumes his role as head judge.
