Amanda Holden Divides Fans Over Racy Outfit on Britains Got Talent

London – Amanda Holden showed up for another night of Britain’s Got Talent auditions wearing a dress that stopped just short of being outright scandalous. The 43-year-old judge stepped onto the panel in a plunging black number with a hemline that barely cleared her thighs, and within minutes the reaction online turned into the usual back-and-forth.

Some viewers called the look classy and fun, arguing it fit the flash of the show. Others said it crossed a line for family television, with comments ranging from “too much” to outright complaints that parents had to explain the outfit to their kids. Twitter filled up fast with side-by-side photos and polls asking whether Holden had gone too far again.

The episode itself was standard early-series fare, heavy on novelty acts and a few genuinely strong voices. Holden’s outfit, though, became the main talking point before the first commercial break. It wasn’t the first time she’d drawn this kind of attention; similar debates popped up during the previous series whenever she chose something tighter or lower cut than the rest of the panel.

Colleagues Simon Cowell and David Walliams appeared to shrug it off on air, sticking to the usual banter. Off-screen, though, the split in public opinion was clear, with tabloid sites running reader polls that stayed neck-and-neck for hours. For Holden it seemed like another night doing exactly what she wanted, regardless of who approved.
