The talent show judge shocked viewers when she stepped out in a £11,250 “stripper” dress for the live ITV show, but 663 complaints have since been received.
The 46-year-old's risqué look sparked more of a reaction from those at home than the “awful” Comic Relief coverage.
The charity telethon saw 340 complaints relating to "crude language" and "sexual references”, as well as Russell Brand exclaiming: "F***ing hell!”
Meanwhile, a March episode of Emmerdale was the third most complained about moment, thanks to Aaron Dingle's (played by Danny Miller) prison ordeal.

Will people be complaining to Ofcom? I hope so. I really do
The instalment received 275 complaints and saw the character attacked by fellow inmates, after they found out he had been abused by his father.
Amanda’s TV outfit - which was previously cleared by the regulator - caused a much bigger stir than the previous year, when just 90 people spoke out about their issues surrounding her and co-star Alesha Dixon’s frocks.
However, the actress had seemed far from concerned about the possibility of attracting criticism beforehand, during an interview with The Sun.

Amanda had commented: ”I can't wait to wear my dresses. They are very flattering and feminine and a few are… what you would expect.
"Will people be complaining to Ofcom? I hope so. I really do. I haven't done my job if they aren't."
Debuting her sequinned number on Instagram, Amanda had stunned in the busty get-up, which was slashed to the navel and totally backless.
