Britain’s Got Talent FINAL 2020: Amanda Holden covers up in demure gown after Ofcom drama… as she’s left red-faced during magic trick which reveals she DOESN’T follow Damien O’Brien on Instagram
Amanda Holden looked sensational as she made her entrance for the Britain’s Got Talent 2020 final on Saturday night – following a week in which Ofcom received over 200 complaints about her choice in dress during a previous episode.
Stepping out alongside fellow judges Alesha Dixon, Ashley Banjo and David Walliams, Amanda, 49, rocked a sparkling rose gold, semi-sheer number, with a slanted shoulder and a slight split at the leg.
She wore her dark blonde locks in a ponytail and added heels to the look, her make-up flawless in matching tones to the rest of her ensemble.
Golden gal: Amanda Holden looked sensation as she made her entrance for the Britain’s Got Talent 2020 final on Saturday night – following a week in which Ofcom received over 200 complaints about her choice in dress the week before
Amanda’s outfit from two weeks ago was a plunging navy gown with a daring thigh-high split and a built in underwire on the bust which sparked another flurry of complaints.
Further complaints came the week after with her next dress choice, and led viewers to question whether she had suffered a wardrobe malfunction on the show.
Amanda laughed off the drama as she spoke exclusively to MailOnline, saying: ‘
She said: ‘I can see what people think, it had a like an underwire, you know when you have an underwire bikini or bra, the end of it it’s like an upside down U isn’t it. The end of it dug in. I was more insulted that people thought I had either huge saucepan nipples or nipples over my cleavage.’
BGT 2020 came to a close on Saturday night – having battled through a year that has seen many shows, such as The X Factor and Love Island, sit production out entirely.
The series was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the spring, when it usually broadcasts auditions and the live finals prior to the summer. But ITV made sure it returned this autumn to complete the contest.

The contestants each took to the stage to perform one final time, with young magician Aidan McCann roping judge David in to a trick in which he guessed which word he’d written down.
Next up was Aaron and Jasmine, a dance duo, who put on an energy-fueled spectacle.
This was followed my magic man Damien O’Brien, who asked Amanda to take part in a trick which saw her look him up on Instagram.
This left the judge a tad red-faced as she realised that he followed her account on the social media page, but that she didn’t follow him back.

She then had to hand her phone over the Damien, who made it disappear, then reappear wrapped in a rope.
Holding onto the rope, Damien walked back onto the stage, unraveling it as he went.
