Amanda Holden speaks out on Britain's Got Talent dress that sparked record-breaking Ofcom complaints

Amanda Holden has spoken out about previous controversies surrounding her Britain's Got Talent dresses over the years - saying that people who complain have "too much time on their hands".

The 52-year-old presenter is known for making bold fashion statements on the show, but some of her more revealing choices have not gone down well with viewers at home in the past. One particular dress worn by Amanda on the ITV series back in 2017 broke Ofcom records, earning 663 complaints from viewers due to its plunging neckline.

But the mum-of-two refuses to let the complaints get to her, declaring BGT as the perfect opportunity to "take risks" with her look. Amanda also bashed the phrase "dressing for your age" and even said she plans to dial things up when it comes to her outfits on this year's series, The Mirror reports.
