It's almost that time of year again, when the wildest acts from across the country flock to the Britain's Got Talent auditions with the hope of entertaining the nation.
But firstly they will have to impress judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, KSI and Amanda Holden.
Amanda, who celebrated her 55th birthday this week, has been a judge on the show since it began in 2007.
And over the years she has become well known for one thing in particular - her racy outfits.
Astounding the public with her range of glamorous ensembles, the TV star isn't afraid to flash plenty of skin and show off her fabulous physique, yet she has sparked hundreds of Ofcom complaints with her showstopping dresses.
Back in 2020, she revealed ITV bossed had installed a 't*t committee' to judge if dresses are too revealing as she sparked 235 Ofcom complaints for her plunging gown.

However, Amanda has firmly brushed off the criticism, previously explaining she works closely with her stylist on creating each look and insisted she loves every single outfit she has worn on the show since its launch in 2007.
She told Closer magazine: 'What you see on TV, I really love.
'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!'
It is not the first time Amanda has defended her fashion choices on the talent competition after coming under fire from some viewers.
In 2022, she said: 'Fashion is about taking risks. I encourage everyone to have a little fun and be a little daring. I'd be bored playing it safe.'
She added that her co-star Alesha Dixon, 47, never cops criticism for her racy outfits, describing the level of complaints as 'bizarre'.
But what have been Amanda's most Ofcom complaint looks?
Spiderweb dress - 9 complaints
Starting tame, Amanda's spiderweb dress in 2019 sparked just nine Ofcom complaints after she took to the stage in the mesh number
Starting tame, Amanda's spiderweb dress in 2019 sparked just nine Ofcom complaints after she took to the stage in the mesh number.
The judge, who was 48 at the time, opted for a sheer dress which showed off plenty of flesh and was branded 'inappropriate' by viewers.
While no skin was actually showing, the star's breast was covered by an embroidered cobweb before the dress flowed out into a stunning floral display.
Plunging blue gown - 34 complaints
Later in the same series, Amanda sparked more Ofcom complaints in a gown by Lebanese designer Saiid Kobeisy in 2019
It featured a plunging neckline and the regulator said the dress received 34 complaints

Featuring a plunging neckline, the regulator said the dress received 34 complaints as she put on a plunging display in the eye catching look.
Plunging white dress - 72
Britain's Got Talent final has sparked MORE Ofcom complaints as Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon's 'revealing' dresses have been deemed 'too much for family viewing'
Taking to the stage last year, Amanda showcased her assets in a plunging white custom dress from Saint Hendrix.
Featuring a low scooped neckline with silver clips under her breasts, Ofcom reportedly received 72 complaints over the outfit choice, according to The Mirror.
The publication was told that they were deemed 'too revealing for a family show'.
Sparkling sheer dress - 90
Back in 2016 she gained another 90 Ofcom points after she wowed in a sheer sparkly dress which featured a black leotard with a keyhole slit
Back in 2016 she gained another 90 Ofcom points after she wowed in a sheer sparkly dress which featured a black leotard with a keyhole slit.
Amanda put on a very leggy display in the sheer number while flashing her cleavage as she walked onto the stage.
However Ofcom decided against warrant launching a full investigation, claiming the women’s wardrobe choices had not breached the UK broadcasting code.
The organisation said Amanda’s choice of clothing 'would not have exceeded most viewers’ expectations'.
'In our view, the dresses appropriately covered the judges and they were not portrayed in a sexualised way,' a spokesman told The Sun.
Lace corset dress - 136
Back to steal the show in 2020, the Ofcom complaints only ramped up after Amanda wore a plum Suzanne Neville dress with a lace corset top that flashed plenty of leg
Back to steal the show in 2020, the Ofcom complaints only ramped up after Amanda wore a plum Suzanne Neville dress with a lace corset top that flashed plenty of leg.
Of the 896 reported complaints made to Ofcom about the episode, 136 of these were about her dress.
Yet Amanda hit back, as she took to Instagram at the time explaining she was 'baffled' by the outcry.
'Just to say this dress got a tiny 136 complaints out of the 896 we apparently got that night,' she said on Instagram at the time.
'Surely there are more terrible and important things to write about...don't you agree? I'm baffled why it's still going on.'
Celia Kritgarioti gown - 235
Later in the series more Ofcom complaints were made when she put on a very leggy display in a navy Celia Kritharioti off-the-shoulder dress with a V-neckline

Some fans even thought they could see Holden's nipples out the top of her dress in the low cut number, prompting 235 complaints.
But beaming on the stage, Amanda looked confident as ever as she sparkled in the midnight blue number.
She later denied suffering a wardrobe malfunction during the episode, saying on Instagram: 'Mmmm really?! Who has nipples this close to their cleavage?!'
Speaking to The Sun about having her outfits monitored she said: 'There's now a whole body of people that knock on my door and come and stare at my chest before we go on air.
'There's a t*t committee. There are so many brilliant people, they come down, knock on the door and there's the lady who's the producer who said, "Mandy, it looks great". '
She said, 'I can see it's underwired' — people thought it was my nipple they could see but it was the underwire.
'My husband does describe them as being like football studs, but that's probably too much information. But yes, there's a whole committee now, and a head of the committee.'
2017 - 663 complaints
Topping the list is a daring Julien Macdonald gown she wore during the semi-final of BGT in 2017 attracted a staggering 663 Ofcom complaints
The plunging floor-length dress was slashed to the navel, with a cut-out panel that reached down to the small of her back - and furious viewers deemed it 'inappropriate'
Topping the list is a daring Julien Macdonald gown she wore during the semi-final of BGT in 2017 attracted a staggering 663 Ofcom complaints.
The plunging floor-length dress was slashed to the navel, with a cut-out panel that reached down to the small of her back - and came under fire when furious viewers deemed it 'inappropriate'.
But despite the £11,000 ensemble causing hundreds of viewers to complain to Ofcom, the media regulator decided not to investigate.
Ofcom said that while it recognised the dress 'had potential to offend some viewers during what is a family show' - the outfit 'would not have exceeded most viewers' expectations'.
In the interview, the actress added that people have been 'banging on' about her breasts for years before joking that she should get them insured and that they could have their own chat show.
Amanda also reveals that Piers Morgan has seen her assets after one of them 'popped out' when she went round to his house for dinner and was talking to his son.

In 2024 Amanda joked about her wardrobe and said it was fellow judge Bruno Tonioli's turn to flash the flesh as she subtly hit back at fans after being inundated with complaints
In June 2024 Amanda laughed off any backlash surrounding her outfits as she purposefully flaunted her physique in her daringly-cut ensemble.
Amanda joked about her wardrobe and said it was fellow judge Bruno Tonioli's turn to flash the flesh as she subtly hit back at fans after being inundated with complaints, with many fearful she had flashed her nipples.
As the pair posed, she captioned the post: '#NippleGate but for once... it's not me [laughing face emoji] @brunotonioliofficial' as the Italian wore an open white shirt.
