Holly Willoughby dress: Phillip Schofield offers upfront support | Media Monkey

Monkey reported on Wednesday that the BBC had apologised after receiving 139 complaints over the revealing dress worn by Holly Willoughby on The Voice final. 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." Now Willoughby's This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield has leapt to her defence on Twitter. The Daily Express reports that he tweeted: "139 complaints over Holly's gorgeous Voice dress? Let's hope those outraged on behalf of their kids don't take them to the beach this summer. God forbid they might see a woman in a bikini before 9pm and be traumatised by the sight of her cleavage!" Who will wade into the "Boobgate" debate next – or will it all turn out to be a storm in a D-cup?
