The Britain’s Got Talent final has been hit with complaints as viewers went to Ofcom, who have revealed they received 72 complaints regarding Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon’s frocks
The Britain’s Got Talent final hit has been hit with 72 complaints over Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon’s ‘revealing dresses’. When contacted by the Mirror, Ofcom said they had received the complaints from viewers, who alleged the star’s frocks were “too revealing for a family show”.
Show judge, Amanda, 54, stunned in her final outfit for the ITV talent competition after vowing to never tone down her fashion choices despite a barrage of backlash since the series started. She made sure to pull out all the stops for the star-studded finale on the weekend, when she rocked up braless, in a plunging custom-made white silk gown from Saint Hendrix, with her hair slicked back into a bun with several bejewelled clips.

Alesha meanwhile, also made sure her outfit was going hit all the headlines, as she stepped out onto the stage in a sequin-strewn see-through jump suit, which revealed her underwear.
Alesha and Amanda are often criticised for their daring looks on the show, but Amanda has ruffled the most feathers over the years as she remains defiant in her outfit choice.
In July 2017, she rocked a plunging see-through Julien Macdonald dress that became the most complained about TV moment of the year.
The mum-of-two joked the furore was a ‘national crisis’, teasing in Closer magazine: “I’m always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I’m never worried.
“I think people should have fun with fashion!
“I had bits of fish wire underneath my breasts trying to hold that together… It’s all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about. It’s been called another national crisis – but, oh no, I will not be covered up.”
Her risqué frocks have become so talked about that she even has a team to check her chest before the live shows.
“There’s a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air,” she previously explained.
“There’s a t*t committee. There are so many brilliant people, they come down, knock on the door and there’s the lady who’s the producer who said, ‘Mandy, it looks great’.”
Despite the backlash about their outfits, Amanda and Alesha looked like they’d had a ball when the finale finished and magician Harry Moulding was declared the winner.
Seen with smiles a mile wide in snaps with the excitable star, the women, alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell and Bruno Tonioli, toasted another successful year of the ITV talent show – even if their dresses were deemed too revealing.
