Do you remember it?
Of all the complaints about what people wear on TV, there was one dress that has caused the most drama this year. Back in June, Amanda Holden wore a dress on Britain’s Got Talent and it drew so much attention that it ended up racking up A LOT of complaints.
So much so, that it was the most complained about outfit on television in 2017. The dress in question featured a very low neckline and equally low back and was designed by Julien MacDonald.
According to Digital Spy, Ofcom received 663 complaints about the dress which she wore on June 1st.
At the time of the show, viewers were very quick to comment on the dress on social media. People were not impressed, saying that it was inappropriate for the family show.
Not usually one to moan but does Amanda Holden actually think what she’s wearing is appropriate for a family TV show? #BGT

Ofcom released the following statement about the dress:
“(Her dress) had potential to offend some viewers during what is a family show.
“The outfits would not have exceeded most viewers’ expectations [and] we considered it was appropriately scheduled.”
