BRITAIN’S Got Talent viewers were left outraged this evening when Amanda Holden warned a comedian to be careful with her shoes because they cost “a week’s wages”.
The 48-year-old beauty was branded “out of touch” by stunned fans, with others accusing her of boasting.
In this evening’s live semi-final, hopeful Graeme Mathews asked if he could borrow Amanda’s shoe for his trick.
Approaching the judging table, he said: “Amanda, you had a little bit of dirt on your left shoe, you’re letting the side down.
“But don’t worry, I’m going to clean it for you, using magic. Can I borrow your left shoe?”
Amanda obliged, but as she handed the Louboutin heel over she told Graeme: “You’re going to be nice to my shoe, that’s like a week’s wages on that shoe.”
BGT viewers flocked to Twitter to slam the star for her comment, with one writing: “A week’s wages on that shoe LOL okay Amanda that’ll be about two years for most people.”
Another added: “Oh, sorry Miss Louboutin! She had to put that in there.”
A third said: “A week’s wages, huh? That’s obscene Amanda. There are people starving in this country who watch BGT. The showboating has got to stop. It’s thoughtless beyond belief.”
Graeme Matthews – “Amanda, can I have your shoe please?”
Amanda Holden – “ be careful it’s like a weeks wages!”
Yeah…… for you maybe

Meanwhile, Graeme left Amanda horrified when he took the heel and immediately placed it into a “shoe cleaning machine” that later caught alight.
Thankfully, the Louboutin came out of his performance completely unharmed, and was safely back on the star’s foot just moments later.
The fresh criticism comes after it was revealed that Amanda might face an Ofcom investigation after viewers complained that her revealing dress last night was “too rude for a family show”.
The audience were left shocked when Amanda walked on stage dressed in a floor length gown that was embroidered with flowers and a spiderweb and featured a nude panelling that framed her curves.
Ofcom received 22 complaints over last night’s semi-final and almost half of those – nine in total – were about Amanda’s dazzling frock.
A statement given to The Sun Online explained: “We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.”

Amanda also landed herself in hot water with Ofcom after she was filmed swearing on stage during The Haunting’s terrifying performance earlier this week.
The judge blurted out the F-word during the first semi-final show when she took part in the spooky act – and 192 fans then complained to the regulator about it.
An Ofcom spokesperson revealed that 154 people complained about Elizabeth’s act being too scary, while 38 were not impressed with Amanda’s foul mouthed slip up.
