Amanda Holden, the Britain's Got Talent judge, caused a stir on Saturday night by wearing a transparent, sparkly dress during the live semi-final. The 55-year-old Heart FM host flashed her underwear as she posed for photos, with the celestial-inspired gown adorned with shimmering stars leaving little to the imagination.
Daring Outfit Choice
Known for her bold fashion choices, Amanda tied the dress around her neck with a satin scarf, while layers of tulle gathered at her feet. She shared snaps on Instagram, her hair swept into a high bun. The outfit drew significant attention both on stage and online.
BGT Semi-Final Highlights
Amanda joined fellow judges Simon Cowell, 66, Alesha Dixon, 47, and KSI, 32, for the semi-final, which featured a live performance from Westlife. The band performed their greatest hits ahead of their 25th anniversary tour.
Comedian Ted Hill won the public vote, securing a place in the final on May 30. He performed his PowerPoint comedy act, earning laughter from the audience and judges. Ted had previously received Ant and Dec's golden buzzer during auditions.
The runner-up was harpist and singer Niamh Noade, while fire-juggler Liwei Yang received KSI's golden buzzer after a phenomenal performance. The winner of Britain's Got Talent receives £250,000 and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance.
Viewer Frustration with New Format
Viewers expressed frustration with the new semi-final format, which allows each judge to use a golden buzzer once during the semi-finals. Critics called it unfair and confusing, with one fan tweeting: "Golden buzzer seriously needs to be left until everyone is on stage for the final results." Another said: "How many more acts are going straight to the final? What happens to public choice?"
Ted Hill, ahead of his performance, told the Mirror: "I've decided to fully commit to the weirdness of my personality. I made a special gift for Simon Cowell using my science knowledge." He added: "My dream is to find a bigger audience and perform PowerPoint comedy for the king."
