Television personality Amanda Holden has responded with characteristic defiance after her show-stopping Britain's Got Talent appearance generated hundreds of formal complaints to broadcasting regulator Ofcom.
The 53-year-old judge turned heads during the ITV show's semi-finals when she appeared in a breathtaking golden gown featuring daring cut-out sections that showcased her incredible figure. While many viewers praised her stunning appearance, the risqué ensemble prompted over 150 complaints to the media watchdog.
'I Absolutely Love It' Says Defiant Holden
Rather than expressing regret, the Heart Radio host embraced the controversy with open arms. "I absolutely love it!" she declared when informed about the Ofcom complaints. "I think it's fantastic that in this day and age, a fringed dress with a few cut-outs can still cause such a stir."
Holden, who has served as a BGT judge since 2007, has never been one to shy away from bold fashion choices. Her latest ensemble featured intricate gold fringe detailing and strategically placed cut-outs that left little to the imagination while maintaining an air of sophistication.
Viewers Divided Over BGT Fashion Statement
The public reaction to Holden's golden gown has been sharply divided:
- Many viewers took to social media to applaud her confidence and fashion-forward thinking
- Others expressed concern about the outfit's appropriateness for a family show
- Some questioned whether the dress crossed broadcasting boundaries
- Fans noted that Holden consistently pushes fashion boundaries on the show
This isn't the first time Holden's BGT wardrobe has attracted Ofcom's attention. The media personality has developed a reputation for her daring fashion choices that frequently challenge conventional broadcasting standards.
Ofcom's Verdict Expected Soon
Broadcasting regulator Ofcom has confirmed receiving the complaints and is currently assessing whether the outfit breached their broadcasting code. A spokesperson indicated that decisions regarding such matters typically follow established guidelines concerning appropriate content for family viewing timeslots.
Holden remains unapologetic about her fashion choices, viewing them as expressions of confidence and personal style rather than attempts to court controversy. "I'll always dress for myself and wear what makes me feel good," she stated emphatically.
The Britain's Got Talent judge appears determined to continue her tradition of making bold fashion statements, regardless of any official complaints or public criticism. Her defiant response suggests this won't be the last time she pushes sartorial boundaries on prime-time television.
