2 million teenage lads also phoned in, thanking her for wearing it

Got nowt better to do with their sad lives

That link doesn't appear to show her in the dress that was the subject of complaints.

I think she's ridiculous... and I'm not Mary Whitehouse.

[Spicerack]

She seems quite smart/elegant to me.
and I'm a prude.

[roopower]

The dress was rather revealing. She seems to be wearing more and more daring outfits, pushing the boundaries, I suppose. She's not the only one, they're presenting TV programmes not on a catwalk

[bednobs]

if I had a body like hers, id be showing it off whenever I could. Although i'm with naomi - I think she's ridiculous (but it's probably jealousy)

[iluvmargie]

Two points. It's a waste of time complaining to Ofcom, they are simply not fit for purpose after ignoring all the thousands of complaints they received over Banjo's political dance and Amanda Holden loves all the publicity these complaints generate, she does it on purpose - silly woman!

I didn't watch it ,they can kiss my white ass as Alesha Dixon said ( only her is is a black one ) :0))))

[Mozz71]

I bet they had to be real quick on the pause button to make sure her nipples were poking through, and rewind several time in order to really get angry about it.

Idiots.

[Prudie]

It's pathetic and sad that she feels the need to display that much boob to prove she's still sexually attractive. It's a family show, at what age would it be OK to let our daughters follow that trend of dressing without being called Mary Whitehouse?

[Spicerack]

Not so elegant in ^those pictures.

[-SharonA-]

Christ, why cannot people get a life. They do know that ladies have nipples??!!
In this day & age, there's so many prudes around!!! Sad.

[Mozz71]

//and I'm a prude.//

You spelt "perv" wrong there Spicy. ;-)

[pixie374]

I've seen the links, but not the programme. I suspect people must be very bored and just looking for anything to make a fuss about.

[Mozz71]

//It's a family show, at what age would it be OK to let our daughters follow that trend of dressing without being called Mary Whitehouse?//

There's a difference between not letting a teen daughter wear something revealing and taking the time to call offcom to complain about somebody's dress on tv.

[andy-hughes]

I really don't think that in 2020, the merest hint of the sight of a celebrity's breasts is going to end civilisation as we know it.

Personally, her clothing choices don't offend me, so I can;t speak from the position of someone who is upset.

Maybe if any AB'ers side with the complainers, they can advise what the issue is - no-one thus far seems to agree with the furore.

[Spicerack]

Amanda sent 231 of the complaints in.

[ummmm]

I think she looks amazing.

[Prudie]

Well I partly agree but there are 2 separate issues here:
Calling to complain
Being called Mary Whitehouse if you think it's inappropriate.

Further, of course women have nipples, men sometimes have erect penises too, why can't I get to see those on BGT?
