In the past she's sparked thousands of letters of anger to the broadcasting watchdog from viewers 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. Simon Cowell makes HUGE dig at Amanda Holden's age in Britain's Got Talent live show judges row- 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.' 6 Amanda said she is 'never worried' about her outfits, which are 'checked' before she goes on air Credit: Instagram 6 Yet swathes have fans have flagged her on-screen wardrobe to the broadcasting watchdog Credit: Splash News

Speaking about the pain she still feels at the friendship with Jesy being over, the star said: "I wrote a song about it. "Every time I listen to it, I cry.

"Yeah, absolutely. And then they're gone and it's like, ugh!" Perrie replied.

"When you've been in that person's life for years and they've had your back, you've been through highs, lows and everything, all these experiences, it's a wild ride but you've gone through it together - then poof they're gone - that's hard to deal with. 7 Perrie previously broke down in tears on the Happy Place podcast Credit: YOUTUBE "I struggled a lot with that. It's really sad, but at the same time these things sometimes happen. "It does make you think 'do we try to rectify the situation? Should I reach out? It doesn't feel like I should, it feels like I should just stay away.' "It's a really horrible dynamic to be in." Perrie added: "When you try and then it doesn't get taken well either... it's like another..." Perrie broke off and imitated being stabbed in the heart. She continued: "You think, 'well I tried, they don't want it. You can't force someone to be friends with you.'

She said: 'The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health. 'I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard. 'There comes a time in life when we need to reinvest in taking care of ourselves rather than focusing on making other people happy.'
