Amanda Holden has never been one to shy away from controversy — and now she’s doubling down. The Britain’s Got Talent judge has hit back at complaints filed with Ofcom over her daring fashion choices, dismissing them with the kind of sharp confidence that has defined her career.
The complaints keep rolling in
For years, Amanda’s outfits on live TV have sparked heated debate. From plunging necklines to sheer gowns that leave little to the imagination, the 54-year-old star’s wardrobe has become almost as famous as the talent acts she judges. Each season, viewers file formal complaints to Ofcom, claiming her looks are “inappropriate for family television.”

But Amanda isn’t backing down. Far from it.
Amanda’s bold clapback
In a recent interview, she laughed off the criticism:
“I don’t care. Honestly, I don’t care. I love fashion, I love feeling confident, and if people are talking about my dress, then the designers are happy, the show’s happy, and I’m happy.”
When asked if the complaints might influence her future choices, she didn’t hesitate. “Absolutely not. If anything, I’ll go even bolder next time.”
Her remarks immediately lit up social media, with fans praising her unapologetic attitude.
A history of headline-grabbing looks
Amanda Holden’s fashion has long been a talking point in the British press. During the 2017 season of BGT, one dress with a plunging neckline generated hundreds of Ofcom complaints in a single night. Other outfits — including a sheer gown with strategically placed embroidery — made front-page headlines the next morning.
Yet, year after year, Holden returns to the judging panel with even more daring styles, knowing full well she will ignite fresh controversy.
“Why should I hide?”
Holden has been candid about her approach:
“Women my age are told to cover up, to tone it down, to disappear quietly. Well, I’m not going anywhere. Why should I hide? I feel amazing, and I’m going to celebrate that.”
For her fans, that message resonates far beyond fashion. It’s about empowerment, confidence, and refusing to let age dictate what a woman can or cannot do.
The debate continues
Still, the complaints to Ofcom show no signs of stopping. Some viewers argue that Amanda’s outfits push the boundaries of prime-time television. Others see the backlash as outdated prudishness, especially in a culture saturated with far more risqué content online.
But one thing is clear: Amanda Holden isn’t losing any sleep over it.
What’s next for Amanda
With another season of Britain’s Got Talent on the horizon, Amanda has already hinted that her wardrobe will be even more daring. “If you think last year was shocking, just wait. I’ve got a few surprises lined up,” she teased with a grin.
And if history is anything to go by, viewers can expect the complaints to come flooding in — and Amanda to meet them with a smile, a wink, and maybe an even lower neckline.
