Is that outfit really suitable when children are watching, Amanda?
SHE recently joked that she was hoping to ‘spark complaints’ from viewers with her racy wardrobe choices for the Britain’s Got Talent live shows.
But Amanda Holden appeared to go a step too far last night for a show that is watched by young children.
The 46-year-old, who also has two children, walked on to the stage for the semi-finals last night in a plunging khaki dress that served to prove she was bra-less. Her figure-hugging gown – slashed to the navel – showed off her cleavage and even host Ant McPartlin was taken aback. He remarked: ‘Look at what Amanda’s wearing … what Amanda isn’t wearing!’ Fellow judge David Walliams also took a dig at the star, telling a female choir: ‘You’re really classy, none of you are wearing a really inappropriate low-cut top.’
Holding on to Simon Cowell’s hand as she descended the stairs, the glamorous judge came dangerously close to revealing more than she bargained for as she headed to her seat. The show’s twitterati were quick to describe their shock. One posted: ‘Does Amanda Holden know this is a family show and doesn’t need to dress like a stripper?’
Another wrote ‘Is it Amanda’s birthday? She’s dressed in that festive suit.’ while a third added: ‘I think David speaks on behalf of all of us about Amanda’s dress.’
Her racy ensemble came after she had joked at the weekend: ‘Will people be complaining to Ofcom? I hope so, I really do.’ She quipped: ‘I haven’t done my job if they aren’t!’
