Controversial Strictly star calls for Amanda Holden to be sacked from BGT

She should say how she really feels...

Strictly Come Dancing star Ann Widdecombe wants Amanda Holden fired from TV.

The former Tory politician has said that the Britain’s Got Talent judge was in “a state of undress” during the semi-finals.

In her newspaper column, Ann stated that she either wants ITV bosses to tell her to cover up, or get the sack.

The 69-year-old told the Daily Express: “Britain’s Got Talent, which airs at 7.30pm, nearly two hours before the watershed, is a family show, full of fun and innocence from Pudsey the dog to magicians to shadow acts to singing grandads.

“Then along comes Amanda Holden looking like an actress from an X-rated movie.

“Ofcom received 216 complaints but defiant Ms Holden says she wanted complaints as otherwise she would not have been doing her job.

“ITV bosses will not be doing their job if they do not warn her under pain of being sacked.”

She then added: “Children do not need to see such exposure paraded as glamour and something to emulate.”

The mum-of-two was slammed by Britain’s Got Talent viewers during the semi-final for the revealing dress.

Some viewers ranted that the judge “shouldn’t have been allowed” to wear the jaw-dropping dress during the family show.

It definitely left little to the imagination.

Twitter was inundated with comments from viewers that thought she was “nearly topless”.

An Ofcom spokesman confirmed that they will be investigating the complaints, but we doubt Amanda cares at all.

She said that’s what she wanted to achieve, and she did!
