The TV show judge has been criticised on social media at times for her racy outfits on the family programme, but the 49-year-old star has insisted she is "very aware of [herself]" on the panel but likes to pretend she isn't on occasions.

She told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "Even though I am really open and very much myself most of the time, it's a fake circumstance when you're sitting on a panel and judging.

"I'm very aware of myself and what I should say next.

"Sometimes I pretend I'm not and I'm outrageous, and I'm like, 'Oh I had no idea I was going to say that', or my boob pops out, 'I had no idea that was going to happen!' "

Amanda has caused some controversy on the talent show with her daring outfits, and even feared she would get fired after she swore live on air last year.

She dropped the F-bomb during a creepy performance on the semi-final show, which resulted in 200 complaints to Ofcom.

Amanda previously recalled: "I chased Simon into his dressing room and said, 'You're not going to fire me, are you?' And he replied, 'Don't be f***ing ridiculous'. I said, 'You know Simon, the world has gone mad now.' It was unplanned and I didn't mean it in any bad way, but there is so much political correctness now and so much stuff flying round that you just don't know."
