Ofcom to Investigate Amanda Holden's Dress on BGT

Ofcom to Investigate Amanda Holden's Dress on BGT
Published 2 years ago on Oct 09, 2023

The judge's provocative dress, valued at £11,250 and designed by Julien Macdonald, left little to the imagination during the ITV talent show's semi-final. 

She's got front! It was hard for the studio audience and viewers at home to place their focus elsewhere as Amanda Holden made her way to her seat in the very saucy ensemble

A total of 216 complaints have been lodged with Ofcom, far surpassing the controversy generated by a recent episode of Coronation Street, which focused on a harrowing gang rape storyline involving character Bethany Platt. The soap opera's episode, which aired at 9 pm on the same evening, received just 13 complaints. 

Amanda Holden made headlines earlier this year when she playfully anticipated receiving complaints about her attire, stating, "Will people be complaining to Ofcom? I hope so, I really do." In last year's Britain's Got Talent final, both Amanda Holden and fellow judge Alesha Dixon received 90 complaints about their dress choices. However, Ofcom and ITV deemed the outfits "suitable" for the show. 

Ofcom's investigation could result in guidance being issued to ITV regarding their programming decisions. In extreme cases, fines may be imposed, although this is not the case with the current controversy. 

Coronation Street's recent storyline has been met with strong emotional reactions from viewers. The storyline revolves around 16-year-old character Bethany Platt, portrayed by Lucy Fallon, who becomes ensnared in a sinister grooming operation orchestrated by her older boyfriend, Nathan Curtis, played by Christopher Harper. The episode that received 13 complaints featured graphic scenes of physical abuse and the distressing build-up to the gang rape. 

Nipping out: Holden came very close to baring all in her plunging gown on Britain's Got Talent on ITV yesterday evening

Amanda Holden, who has been a judge on Britain's Got Talent for ten years, is no stranger to making bold fashion choices. While her provocative dresses have garnered complaints in the past, she remains unapologetic and confident in her choices. Her fellow judge, David Walliams, has also come to her defense, pointing out that Simon Cowell has worn low-cut tops for years without controversy. 

Amanda Holden's latest dress, which featured a plunging neckline, an open back, and a body-hugging silhouette, was met with astonishment from Britain's Got Talent host Ant McPartlin. During her entrance, McPartlin exclaimed, "Look at what Amanda's wearing... what Amanda isn't wearing!" Walliams added humorously, "You're really classy, none of you are wearing a really inappropriate low-cut top!" 

Amanda Holden has consistently chosen daring outfits for her appearances on Britain's Got Talent, with past ensembles featuring plunging necklines, sheer fabrics, and keyhole necklines. Despite the controversy, Amanda seems determined to continue pushing boundaries with her fashion choices on the popular family show. 

Viewers took to social media to express their shock and opinions about Amanda's latest outfit. Some commented on the inappropriateness of the attire for a family show, while others speculated about her wardrobe choices for future episodes. Amanda's co-judge Alesha Dixon also made a stylish entrance in a short white dress with fringed detailing, showcasing her toned legs and glossy raven locks. 

Amanda Holden herself has hinted at more racy ensembles for Britain's Got Talent's live shows, stating that she hopes to spark complaints with her wardrobe choices. She described her outfits as "very flattering" and "very feminine" and revealed her preference for exclusive and unique dresses that haven't been worn by others on the red carpet. 

Amanda's daring fashion choices have been a source of both controversy and fascination for viewers, and she remains unapologetically true to her style, ensuring that all eyes are on her during Britain's Got Talent's live shows. 

Turning heads: Slashed to the navel, the figure-hugging garment showed off the 46-year-old judge's cleavage and clung to her hourglass curves
