Amanda Holden breaks Britain's Got Talent silence after winner booed after final

Amanda Holden has received complaints from Britain's Got Talent viewers after she broke her silence in the wake of the controversial result in the show's final. Amanda shared her outfit from the BGT final with fans on Instagram after Viggo Venn won in the final installment of the popular talent show, Birmingham Live reports.

"The @bgt Grand Final 2023," the 52-year-old shared. But the Britain's Got Talent judge's post was inundated with angry responses from ITV viewers. "Love the dress but wild card needs binned I'm shocked," fumed one.

"What a joke this year was.. it was a tough final without pant man and Viggo. How the hell he won is beyond me! Not an ounce of talent there and what a joke to present that to the royal family, a right laughing stock!!" said a second.

Another typed: "Absolutely disgraceful results." Darren wrote: "Looking fab but I'm sorry that not a talent skipping round in hi vis that an insult to everyone that has a talent." Shazza commented: "Dear General public… W..T .. actual ..F for the winner?????"

Laura said: "Thank goodness I can’t take anymore of these fabulous looks" Jem said: "Virgo Venn are you having a laugh??????" But others defended the mum-of-two and rushed to compliment her.

Venn's triumph came in a year dominated by child stars, with 13-year-old dancer Lilliana Clifton and 14-year-old magician Cillian O'Connor finishing second and third respectively. After his victory, Alesha Dixon said: "You've captivated the nation, they love you," while fellow judge Bruno Tonioli said: "I think your physical comedy is world-class, you have created one of the most memorable characters since Mr Bean."

Simon Cowell also gave his feedback and said: "At least you didn't make me look stupid tonight. I have never ever met an act like you in my life, I will admit it, I really really love you now."
