Amanda is well-known for her daring outfits on the Britain's Got Talent panel, and has faced a slew of Ofcom complaints for some of her most controversial selections.
In the past she's sparked thousands of letters of anger to the broadcasting watchdog from viewers outraged over her flashing the flesh.
This has included a plunging wet-look dress as well as garments with plunging necklines for the family-friendly tea-time series.
Now she has insisted: "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."
She added to Closer Magazine: "I think people should have fun with fashion!"
It remains to be seen what she will wear during the show final this weekend.
SPEAK OUT
The mum of two previously insisted BGT is "the perfect opportunity to take risks".
She previously told The Sun her outfits are so famously controversial they're now monitored before she steps on-stage.
"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," she explained.
Simon Cowell makes HUGE dig at Amanda Holden's age in Britain's Got Talent live show judges row-
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'."
Meanwhile, cheeky Amanda recently revealed her plan to sex up her outfits for her new TV show away from BGT.
She confessed to The Sun she might sex up her overalls for any future series of Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job.
She said: 'It's a joy to wear something so different, and nice to be able to breathe out, with no side boob.
"Though next year I might have some side boob.
'For now, I always go pretty classy and standard. I've got my name on the back, but I didn't even do that in Spanish — I've got Handy Mandy. I should have put Handios Mandios.'

Strutting her stuff around a swanky villa, posing against a wall and giving model catwalk poses to Black Eyed Peas' Imma Be, Katie stared down the camera as she flaunted her looks. Among the collection was a white lace pencil skirt and halterneck top, a pink lace outfit with a ruffled skirt, and a black two-piece with the top tied together at the back by string. Each look showed of the star's taut tummy, and accentuated her biggest boob job to date as she moved. She kept her dark brown locks up in a ponytail, shielding her eyes from the sun in a collection of sunglasses. After a new string of surgeries and 'tweakments' – including thousands of pounds of bum filler to give her a rounder rump and her recent £10k facelift– Katie has been keen to show off the results of her new bikini body. The mum-of-five underwent a £1,500 bum filler procedure in May which she livestreamed on TikTok from the operating table. Just weeks later, she shared that she had gone for more, further enlarging her rear. Plasters from the treatment were still present and bleeding on her bum by the time she arrived in Ibiza, with Katie showing off the bandages by the poolside. However, by the time of her final day the wounds had healed, with Katie donning a polkadot bikini for a day at the beach. Katie Price reveals her 'most painful' surgery EVER - just days before getting more filler in her bum Katie has documented every second of her trip on her Instagram and Snapchat, sharing videos of her partying at Ocean Beach alongside her "besties". Ever honest, Katie admitted the first night took its toll, with her declaring she had "peaked too early" but was determined to rally. Over the course of the following days, Katie was seen grabbing pics with stars including Dean Gaffney and Jamie O'Hara, and dancing in the VIP area with Conor McGregor and Wayne Lineker. 5 Katie has assured fans that her recent weight loss is not unhealthy Credit: Getty

Michael Gove's ex Sarah Vine speaks out about sexuality rumours and why they split

"I was completely naïve. I genuinely didn't think it through at all." Michael Gove's ex-wife Sarah Vine has spoken out about his sexuality and the real reason for their separation three years ago. The columnist admitted during an interview on Good Morning Britain (GMB) on Monday, June 23: "I would like to say I know but maybe I don't." ‌ While appearing on the ITV show to promote her new book, Sarah was asked by presenter Susanna Reid how she felt about rumours that Michael was actually gay and his sexuality was the real reason for their divorce, the Mirror reports. ‌ Sarah responded: "Oh so much gossip. Everyone just assumed that was the reason. Michael is quite camp but he's not gay. He's really not gay. I would like to say I know but maybe I don't. "People often think, 'Poor sad Sarah, she doesn't realise'. But if you look at the amount of girlfriends he's had since he left politics, there have been a few. Even if he was gay, would it matter? I'm not that bothered." Speaking about how it was actually his political career that ended their marriage, she confessed she had "no idea" what the world of politics would be like. She added: "I was completely naïve. I genuinely didn't think it through at all." ‌ When quizzed on whether she would recommend going into politics as a married person, she said: "I would probably say no on reflection. Unless your children are grown up. "You need a very strong family background, you need people who really support you who are invested in the project - that's what I would say."

She said: "I quite like Boris, he's quite a human politician. As politicians go, he's quite honest and himself - authentic." A second viewer commented, "Sarah Vine said Johnson was a very honest politician", alongside three laughing emojis. Another said: "She quite likes honest...f**k it all now..#gmb."

This Morning and Loose Women set for budget new home in 'cost-cutting mission'

ITV are reportedly moving This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine to a new filming location after years at the Television Centre amid a string of cost-cutting measures ITV programmes This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine will reportedly have a new home after filming at the Television Centre in Shepherds Bush in west London for the last seven years. The cost-cutting move comes a few weeks after staff at the broadcaster were hit with news that there would be redundancies amid huge changes for ITV. It has been a tough time for ITV's Daytime hosts and crew - after it was revealed there would be huge changes both behind the scenes and on the shows. ‌ Lorraine Kelly's self-titled programme will be cut by in half next year, to just half an hour a day and will only air 30 weeks of the year. Loose Women will keep its hour show - but again, it will be cut to just 30 out of 52 weeks a year. ‌ Good Morning Britain will benefit from the change, extending 30 mins to 9.30am each day - and will be produced by a different team than the other shows - Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women. And now, it has been reported that Loose Women, This Morning and Lorraine will be moved to The Hospital Club in Covent Garden, central London. A source told The Sun: "ITV are on a major budget saving mission and have landed a new deal to film ITV Daytime at what was The Hospital Club. "It's quite apt really as I'm sure they hope the move to the former hospital will breathe some life into their programme budgets. All three of their main shows, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will be based there... in the basement where there's a state of the art studio." The insider said the changes are "needed to keep up with the ever evolving world of TV but it's a far cry from the plush life stars have become" used to at the Television Centre. ‌ Speaking to The Mirror, a source said: "We have always said that when the changes to our daytime schedule take place in 2026 that Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will broadcast from a new central London location. The new studio is not yet confirmed and when it is we will obviously communicate that news to our staff first." Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of ITV's Media and Entertainment Division, announced the initial changes last month, where he had said the changes were necessary to "generate savings". ‌ He said about the scheduling changes: "Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust as well generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres. "These changes also allow us to consolidate our news operations and expand our national, international and regional news output and to build upon our proud history of trusted journalism at a time when our viewers need accurate, unbiased news coverage more than ever." Sources have told The Mirror:"It's not a case of viewers seeing less of their shows… it's impossible to see how the high standards will remain the same. Some staff believe Loose Women and Lorraine in particular will enter a death spiral… it's just so sad. Just a handful of people will be working on each of those two programmes which has huge ramifications for how they are going forward. "If that's the case, will Loose Women really still have a live audience…will there be the capacity for that? Everyone doubts it, not least because of the manpower needed to oversee it. Also, there is a huge amount of background work which goes into securing guests… in the new climate how does that continue with barely any staff?"
