Amanda Holden reveals five-word criticism from daughter that makes her rethink outfits

Amanda Holden says there is one thing that her daughter Lexi can say about her outfit that will make her go and change immediately

Amanda Holden has disclosed that a sharp five-word critique from her daughter about her style is all it takes to make her reconsider her wardrobe choice.

Known for her bold outfit choices on Britain’s Got Talent, Amanda’s most controversial outfit reportedly drew over 600 viewer complaints to regulatory body Ofcom, reports Devon Live.

The 54-year-old says there is a team of people who examine what she wears before she steps on stage. Amanda, however, insists the TV talent show is the “perfect opportunity to take risks”.

Despite this, she says there are moments of indecision, confessing that after her stylist presents “rails and rails” of potential outfits, she frequently chooses one, only to switch moments later.

Amanda, who shares her home with her husband Chris Hughes and daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 12, acknowledges that their opinions matter to her. Revealing to the Sun’s TV magazine, she said: “My daughters normally love my outfits, but Lexi is quite critical, like her daddy.”

She shares a common exchange with them: “I’m like, ‘Do you like this?’ And she’ll say: ‘No!’ But it doesn’t change my mind if somebody doesn’t like my outfit – if I think it’s great, I’ll wear it.”

Amanda admits there’s one type of feedback from her eldest that will prompt an immediate costume change: “Though if Lexi says: ‘It makes you look old’ then I listen to that.”

Amanda and her co-judge, Alesha Dixon, faced a furore over their choice of attire at the Britain’s Got Talent final last week, with Ofcom receiving 72 gripes for outfits deemed “too revealing for a family show”.

Back in July 2017, Amanda turned heads and sparked debate when she donned a daring Julien Macdonald number, which later became the year’s most controversial TV topic.

The mother of two wryly dubbed it a ‘national crisis’ at the time.

Chatting with Closer magazine, Amanda quipped: “I’m always asked about the Ofcom complaints, but every outfit on the show is checked before I leave my dressing room, so I’m never worried. I think people should have fun with fashion!”

Not stopping there, she explained: “I had bits of fish wire underneath my breasts trying to hold that together… It’s all quite laughable, but all everyone seems to talk about. It’s been called another national crisis – but oh no, I will not be covered up.”

Amanda is unapologetic about her desire to “always look good”, asserting: “There’s no way I’d step out in my pyjamas or rock up without a lash. To preserve my own sense of dignity, I always try to look good.”
