Britain's Got Talent faces an Ofcom
investigation today after hundreds of viewers complained about a
plunging dress worn by judge Amanda Holden that left little to the
imagination.
Some 216 complaints have
been made to the communications regulator over the racy £11,250 dress by
Julien Macdonald which the 46-year-old presenter wore during the
semi-final of the ITV talent show last night.
And the gown appears to have sparked significantly more outrage than Coronation Street's shocking gang rape episode centred around character Bethany Platt, aired at 9pm yesterday, which received a mere 13 complaints.
Holden
wore the controversial dress, the SS16 Look 37, after admitting days
earlier that she was seeking complaints once again this year, as she
joked: 'Will people be complaining to Ofcom? I hope so, I really do.'
Last year's Britain's Got Talent
final saw 90 complaints regarding Alesha Dixon and Holden's dress
choices sent to Ofcom – and 200 sent to ITV, although the regulator
deemed them both 'suitable' for the show that year.
She's
got front! It was hard for the studio audience and viewers at home to
place their focus elsewhere
as Amanda Holden made her way to her seat in
the very saucy ensemble
