If outfit complaints weren’t enough, Amanda was also hit with backlash over claims she helped a magician act ‘cheat’.

Eagle-eyed viewers, who tuned into watch runner-up Jack Rhodes impressive magic trick, were convinced Amanda was in on his act.

During his performance, Jack asked Amanda to lend him one of her dazzling diamond rings which was put into a silver jar for Bruno to take care of – in plain sight for everyone to see.

He then put a lie detector hat, which had a lightbulb on top, on Simon Cowell’s head while he made Amanda’s ring disappear in the silver pot.

After seconds of twirling the ring in the pot the clacking sound of rings suddenly disappeared and quickly reappeared inside of the lightbulb – sitting on Simon’s head.

Fans were so stunned of Jack’s performance that they accused Amanda of fixing his performance. 

Some viewers wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘Amanda looked down at her rings BEFORE he said it, almost like she knew what he was gonna say.’

‘That could’ve been anyone’s ring in that hat and that ring could’ve been inside of that light bulb the whole time hence why he was so light passing it onto Simon.’

‘So Jack had the ring in his right hand and put another one in the cup. 

He put Amanda’s ring in the bulb when he opened the case disguised by the smoke. That’s my take on it.’

Before the final, Amanda ran the risk of sparking Ofcom complaints last week after slipping into her raciest outfit during the live semi-finals.

The presenter  ensured all eyes would be on her as she took to the stage in a wet look gold gown that clung to her incredible figure. 

The low-cut garment put her ample cleavage on display, while a racy cut out on the bodice flashed a glimpse of her toned stomach. 

Putting even more flesh on display, the garment featured a thigh high split to show off her toned legs. 

Amanda has a history of picking racy ensembles for the family show and outraged viewers have filed Ofcom complaints because of the outfits below.

Daring Julien MacDonald gown – 2017

The TV star’s sartorial choices on Britain’s Got Talent are often a talking point among fans of the series.  

Amanda’s wardrobe has led to some controversial moments in the past after a daring Julien Macdonald gown she wore during the semi-final of BGT in 2017 attracted a staggering 663 Ofcom complaints. 

The plunging floor-length dress was slashed to the navel, with a cut-out panel that reached down to the small of her back – and came under fire when furious viewers deemed it ‘inappropriate’.

But 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’.

‘Need to dress more appropriately for a family show!!! Lovely dress for the right occasion but BGT is not it!!!’, another said. 

One user wrote: ‘Beautiful dress  hun, but your boob is popping out with camera angles from the side.’ 

‘An amazing dress but not really for family prime time TV’, another said.

However, some fans were fans of Amanda’s gown, with one user tweeting: ‘Amanda looks like a princess in that dress’, while another wrote: ‘How stunning was @AmandaHolden tonight absolutely beautiful’.

But Amanda appeared to see the funny side of her very revealing dress, as she took to Instagram to share a joke about a water bottle sitting on the judges panel acting as a ‘nipple cover’.

In December 2022 Amanda defended her racy fashion on Britain’s Got Talent. 

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, 44, never cops criticism for her racy outfits. 

‘Alesha gets away with wearing bikinis, but I don’t seem to. It’s bizarre,’ Amanda said, 

‘With shows where there are strong women on a panel, it’s sadly inevitable that they’ll be judged on what they’re wearing.’
