BGT's Amanda Holden looks incredible in plunging white gown after hitting back at complaints
BRITAIN'S Got Talent's Amanda Holden looked incredible in a racy white gown for tonight's final after hitting back at complaints. Judge Amanda, 54, was a vision in the custom Saint. Hendrix number, which included a plunging turtle neck and midriff structures matching her headpiece. 3 3 3 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.'

BGT final live updates as winner 'confirmed' hours before show kicks off
Britain's Got Talent's 2025 live final is set to get underway in just a few hours time as the 10 remaining acts put on their best performance in the hopes of being crowned this year's winner. They will give everything they've got as they battle for the staggering £250,000 prize and secure a place at the Royal Variety Show in front of King Charles. Hosts Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli will be on hand to offer their last piece of feedback to the stars of this year's series. Viewers will not only be treated to performances from the 10 finalists, but also some surprise guests. During the final, fans can expect another show stopping performance from one of the judges, but unfortunately it's not Simon Cowell. Guest judge KSI, who made his debut this season, will be taking to the stage to perform, and if his previous onstage performances are anything to go by, fans are in for a treat. Follow along for the Mirror's live updates throughout the night as one act's dreams are set to come true...

Also joining them in the final will be opera singer and drag queen Jasmine Rice, dance act Ping Pong Pang, comedian Joseph Charm and Post Office choir Hear Our Voice. Despite the final not kicking off yet, some think they already know who will be declared winner. Bookies William Hill has made Hear Our Voice, the inspirational choir comprising of victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal, favourites to win with odds of 6/4. The group - made up of victims of the sub- postmasters scandal, which saw hundreds of lives ruined by the Horizon IT fiasco - has wowed judges since their first audition and now look like they're well on their way to victory. The 10 finalists are not the only ones taking to the stage later tonight, as judge KSI is set to perform. Announcing the news on X, formerly known as Twitter, the official Britain's Got Talent account tweeted: HE'S BACK!!! Catch @KSI while you can performing at the #BGT Final, coming at you this Saturday 31st May at 7pm on @ITV1,@ITVX and @WeAreSTV." The YouTube sensation began his music career in 2015 with the release of his debut single, Lamborghini, featuring P Money. The YouTuber and boxer joined the Britain's Got Talent panel as a guest judge in February this year as he stepped in for fellow judge Bruno Tonioli who had to miss a few auditions due to schedule conflicts. The Britain's Got Talent final will kick off at 7pm this evening. Viewers are in for a treat, as the show will run all the way until 9:45pm.
