Amanda Holden thinks it is “crazy” how much attention her risqué outfits get.
Amanda Holden is amazed at the attention her outfits get
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge, 52, is known for wearing revealing outfits on screen but has described the “hoo-ha” surrounding them as “absolutely ridiculous” as she mused that the female form was appreciated in centuries gone by.
She told The Sun newspaper: “There had always been an amazing appreciation for the female form previously.
The Victorians, I think, were to blame — in their eyes everything became more sexualised than it was meant to be.
“It’s crazy that when you think of the hoo-ha around some of my outfits now, we’re still there. It’s ¬absolutely ridiculous that it’s still going on in an era when we really think that we are ahead of the game.
“But as I always say when we talk about 'Britain’s Got Talent, I’m 52 — if they want to still talk about my t*ts then bring it on!”
The TV star – who has in the past garnered Ofcom complaints over her revealing outfits – has now made ‘Sex: A Bonkers History’ with Dan Jones for Sky History and even posed for a painting in the nude but insisted it is only for the eyes of her husband Chris Hughes.
She added: “My husband Chris now has the painting, but no one else will ever see it, including the television audience.
“But it felt liberating to pose naked. Certain areas were covered up, but I suppose it is like doing their equivalent of Playboy or something like that, then keeping it private for the ¬person you love most.
“It was a female artist, and we had a closed set, so it just felt absolutely fine.
“And it was only my boobs that were out. I felt looked after and completely comfortable.
I don’t feel uncomfortable being naked, but I think if I’d been in a room full of people, I wouldn’t have done it. But we were all very well looked after, and it was very discreet.
“I didn’t want to show the finished painting to the television audience only because of the reaction it would get.”
