The 48-year-old star's striking ensembles on the ITV programme have caught the eye of viewers and even drawn criticism from some fans, but the talent show judge has shrugged off Ofcom complaints as she explained her style.

She told MailOnline: "Of course I have fun on Britain's Got Talent - it's the perfect opportunity to take risks.

"Times have changed and I don't feel anyone should feel pressure to dress for your age. It's all about body positivity and feeling good."

Amanda - who appears on the panel alongside Alesha Dixon, Simon Cowell and David Walliams - added her own family don't mind when she steps out in an eye catching outfit, and she admitted her own age doesn't even enter her mind.

She said: "I try not to think about age anymore when I'm dressing. My children don't bat an eyelid at what I wear and love borrowing my clothes."

Earlier this summer, the TV star revealed despite the backlash she relishes the attention and loves that there's so much focus on her cleavage.

She previously laughed: "I love it that people are still talking about my tired old breasts and I'm nearly 50! No one talks about Alesha Dixon's - she's got great boobs by the way - and she's eight years younger than me."

Amanda is also proud that her outfits remain affordable to most of her fans.

She explained: "If someone asks me, I like to say, 'This is from Zara'. If I admire someone's outfit, I hate it when they say to me, 'It's Dolce! because even I go, 'I'm not buying that - that's the school fees!' "
