Her looks have raised eyebrows and even sparked multiple Ofcom complaints, but Amanda has now firmly brushed off the criticism, saying she loves all of her looks (pictured in May 2019)
She told Closer magazine: ‘What you see on TV, I really love.
‘I’m always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I’m never worried.
‘I think people should have fun with fashion!’
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: ‘Fashion is about taking risks. I encourage everyone to have a little fun and be a little daring. I’d be bored playing it safe.’
She added that her co-star Alesha Dixon, 46, never cops criticism for her racy outfits, describing the level of complaints as ‘bizarre’.

The following night, she sparked more Ofcom complaints in a gown by Lebanese designer Saiid Kobeisy (pictured)
The plunging floor-length dress plunged down to the navel, with a cut-out panel that reached the small of her back – but it came under fire when furious viewers deemed it ‘inappropriate’.
Despite the £11,000 ensemble causing hundreds of viewers to complain to Ofcom, the media regulator decided not to investigate.
Ofcom said that while it recognised the dress ‘had potential to offend some viewers during what is a family show’ – the outfit ‘would not have exceeded most viewers’ expectations’.
In 2019, another of Amanda’s dresses on the show sparked nine Ofcom complaints.
The judge wore for a sheer dress with spiderweb detailing over the chest, but it was branded ‘inappropriate’ by viewers, with nine viewers complaining about the look.
However, Amanda appeared to see the funny side as she took to Instagram to share a joke about a water bottle sitting on the judges panel acting as a ‘nipple cover’.
The following night, she sparked more Ofcom complaints as she strutted her stuff in a gown by Lebanese designer Saiid Kobeisy.
In another controversy, the regulator said the dress received 34 complaints relating to her dress.
