Amanda Holden certainly knows how to make a statement – and the presenter saved her most glamorous yet demure look of the series for the Britain's Got Talent final on Saturday night. The 49-year-old star surprised ITV viewers with her choice of dress, after laughing off Ofcom complaints from viewers following a series of risqué looks this series.
