Itâs almost that time of year again, when the wildest acts from across the country flock to the Britainâs Got Talent auditions with the hope of entertaining the nation.
But firstly they will have to impress judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, KSI and Amanda Holden.
Amanda, who celebrated her 55th birthday this week, has been a judge on the show since it began in 2007.
And over the years she has become well known for one thing in particular â her racy outfits.
Astounding the public with her range of glamorous ensembles, the TV star isnât afraid to flash plenty of skin and show off her fabulous physique, yet she has sparked hundreds of Ofcom complaints with her showstopping dresses.
Back in 2020, she revealed ITV bossed had installed a ât*t committeeâ to judge if dresses are too revealing as she sparked 235 Ofcom complaints for her plunging gown.

However, Amanda has firmly brushed off the criticism, previously explaining she works closely with her stylist on creating each look and insisted she loves every single outfit she has worn on the show since its launch in 2007.
She told Closer magazine: âWhat you see on TV, I really love.
âIâm always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so Iâm never worried. I think people should have fun with fashion!â
It is not the first time Amanda has defended her fashion choices on the talent competition after coming under fire from some viewers.
In 2022, she said:Â âFashion is about taking risks. I encourage everyone to have a little fun and be a little daring. Iâd be bored playing it safe.â
She added that her co-star Alesha Dixon, 47, never cops criticism for her racy outfits, describing the level of complaints as âbizarreâ.
But what have been Amandaâs most Ofcom complaint looks?
Spiderweb dress â 9 complaints

Starting tame, Amandaâs spiderweb dress in 2019 sparked just nine Ofcom complaints after she took to the stage in the mesh number
Starting tame, Amandaâs spiderweb dress in 2019 sparked just nine Ofcom complaints after she took to the stage in the mesh number.
The judge, who was 48 at the time, opted for a sheer dress which showed off plenty of flesh and was branded âinappropriateâ by viewers.
While no skin was actually showing, the starâs breasts were covered by an embroidered cobweb before the dress flowed out into a stunning floral display.
Plunging blue gown â 34 complaints

Later in the same series, Amanda sparked more Ofcom complaints in a gown by Lebanese designer Saiid Kobeisy in 2019

The publication was told that they were deemed âtoo revealing for a family showâ.

Amanda put on a very leggy display in the sheer number while flashing her cleavage as she walked onto the stage.
However Ofcom decided against warrant launching a full investigation, claiming her wardrobe choice had not breached the UK broadcasting code.
The organisation said Amandaâs choice of clothing âwould not have exceeded most viewersâ expectationsâ.
âIn our view, the dresses appropriately covered the judges and they were not portrayed in a sexualised way,â a spokesman told The Sun.
Lace corset dress â 136

Back to steal the show in 2020, the Ofcom complaints only ramped up after Amanda wore a plum Suzanne Neville dress with a lace corset top that flashed plenty of leg
Back to steal the show in 2020, the Ofcom complaints only ramped up after Amanda wore a plum Suzanne Neville dress with a lace corset top that flashed plenty of leg.
Of the 896 reported complaints made to Ofcom about the episode, 136 of these were about her dress.
Yet Amanda hit back, as she took to Instagram at the time explaining she was âbaffledâ by the outcry.
âJust to say this dress got a tiny 136 complaints out of the 896 we apparently got that night,â she said on Instagram at the time.
âSurely there are more terrible and important things to write aboutâŠdonât you agree? Iâm baffled why itâs still going on.â
 Celia Kritharioti gown â 235

Later in the series more Ofcom complaints were made when she put on a very leggy display in a navy Celia Kritharioti off-the-shoulder dress with a V-neckline

Some fans even thought they could see Holdenâs nipples out the top of her dress in the low cut number, prompting 235 complaints.
But beaming on the stage, Amanda looked confident as ever as she sparkled in the midnight blue number.
She later denied suffering a wardrobe malfunction during the episode, saying on Instagram: âMmmm really?! Who has nipples this close to their cleavage?!â
Speaking to The Sun about having her outfits monitored she said: âThereâs now a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air.
âThereâs a t*t committee. There are so many brilliant people, they come down, knock on the door and thereâs the lady whoâs the producer who said, âMandy, it looks great.ââ
She said, âI can see itâs underwired â people thought it was my nipple they could see but it was the underwire.
âMy husband does describe them as being like football studs, but thatâs probably too much information. But yes, thereâs a whole committee now, and a head of the committee.â
2017 â 663 complaints

The plunging floor-length dress was slashed to the navel, with a cut-out panel that reached down to the small of her back â and came under fire when furious viewers deemed it âinappropriateâ.
But despite the ÂŁ11,000 ensemble causing hundreds of viewers to complain to Ofcom, the media regulator decided not to investigate.
Ofcom said that while it recognised the dress âhad potential to offend some viewers during what is a family showâ â the outfit âwould not have exceeded most viewersâ expectationsâ.
In the interview, the actress added that people have been âbanging onâ about her breasts for years, before joking that she should get them insured and that they could have their own chat show.
Amanda also revealed that Piers Morgan has seen her assets after one of them âpopped outâ when she went round to his house for dinner and was talking to his son.
