The Voice: BBC admits it boobed over Holly Willoughby's dress The Voice: BBC admits it boobed over Holly Willoughby's dress
(3 months later)
Some criticised The Voice final on Saturday for being bland – not least the Guardian's Stuart Heritage – but the one thing that seems to have stuck in many viewers' minds is Holly Willoughby's revealing dress. Some 139 people contacted the BBC to complain over the plunging lace number, and the BBC has now apologised if they found it "unsuitable" for pre-watershed TV. The Sun and the Daily Mirror report a BBC spokesman said: "We're sorry if some viewers found Holly's dress to be unsuitable. Holly enjoys fashion and we felt the dress she wore was glamorous and wholly appropriate for the occasion. We don't believe it would have gone against audience expectations for a TV spectacle such as this." Willoughby also had to say sorry after announced Andrea Begley as "the winner of The Voice 2003". She tweeted: "Well done Andrea!!! Can't wait till 2004! What a year that will be!!! Oops! X." However, the slip-ups seem unlikely to dent Willoughby's chances of returning for a third series – at least it wasn't The Voice's viewing figures that were plunging this time.Some criticised The Voice final on Saturday for being bland – not least the Guardian's Stuart Heritage – but the one thing that seems to have stuck in many viewers' minds is Holly Willoughby's revealing dress.
