Amanda Holden says Ofcom complaints about her boobs were 'hysterical' - and vows NOT to cover up on BGT

Amanda Holden's boobs might have been the subject of hundreds of complaints by irate viewers, but there's no chance they're retiring any time soon.

The Britain's Got Talent judge has laughed off the 663 Ofcom complaints her raunchy chest-baring dress got at the 2017 semi-finals as "hysterical", despite it being the third most complained about moment on British TV.

Viewers were offended by the plunging neckline that left nothing to the imagination on the family-friendly show.

But the remorse-free star just laughed: "That dress was hysterical - it was Julien Macdonald.

"I had bits of fish wire underneath my breasts trying to hold that together. But, look, I'm from a small-chest family, plus you know I'm 48 years old. It's all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about."

Amanda added to the Sun that fellow judge Alesha Dixon's boobs "are much better than mine - talk about hers!"

In fact, the sheer number of boobs (not including David Walliams ) on this series of BGT could be just the tonic to the relentless dreariness of Brexit , Amanda claims.

"It's been called another national ­crisis - but, oh no, I will not be covered up," she laughed over reports that she'd sacked the stylist who put her in that dress.

Amanda's remarks come just hours before BGT 2019 kicks off tonight - and it'll be the first time Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will be reunited on screen for nearly a year.

While Ant and Dec appeared in the pre-recorded audition scenes for last year's BGT, Ant had already decided to take the rest of the year off work to focus on getting sober after drunkenly crashing into three cars.

He sat out I'm A Celebrity 2018, handing over the reins to Holly Willoughby, who co-hosted the jungle series with Dec.
