Summary
- Amanda Holden will wear more revealing outfits on Britain's Got Talent.
- She references a 'pearls attached to a thong' inspired by Sex And The City.
- Holden stated that fashion checks are now done by a 't*t committee'.
Amanda Holden has dismissed criticism regarding her daring ensembles on Britain's Got Talent, asserting her intention to showcase even more skin in the upcoming series. The 55-year-old TV personality, known for her glamorous style and willingness to display her figure, has faced viewer complaints and even Ofcom scrutiny for her fashion choices.
Holden, embracing newfound confidence, declared that she no longer cares about negative opinions. She humorously alluded to Samantha Jones' famous risqué underwear from Sex And The City, confessing her own ownership of a pearl-adorned thong. The star emphasized that personal comfort and confidence are paramount in fashion.
Despite past controversies, including a Julien Macdonald dress in 2017 that garnered 663 Ofcom complaints, Holden remains undeterred. She revealed that ITV now employs a 't*t committee' to review her outfits before airtime, a measure introduced after hundreds of complaints for plunging gowns. Although the media regulator did not investigate the 2017 dress, Holden has consistently defended her fashion choices.
She further explained that the underwire in a plum Suzanne Neville dress, which received 136 complaints in 2020, was mistaken for a nipple. Holden humorously noted that her breasts have been a subject of discussion for years. She reiterated her belief that fashion should be experimental and fun, encouraging others to take risks rather than play it safe.
