Top Five 'Too Raunchy' For TV Moments - How Bad Do You Think They Are?

Top Five 'Too Raunchy' For TV Moments

As Robbie Savage comes under fire for his hip-thrusting on last Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing, we remember the 'raunchy' TV moments that have got viewers up in arms before...

Britain's Got Talent 2010

Singing fire performer Tia caused outrage on Britain's Got Talent in 2010 as she sang Kasabian's Fire and ran naked flames across her semi-nude body.

The raunchy routine caused viewers to lodge complaints that a topless fire act was not suitable to be shown before the watershed.

The 2010 X Factor Final

When sexy popstars Rihanna and Christina Aguliera performed on the X Factor final last year, in little more than pants and bras, over 4,500 people complained to Ofcom.

Since the complaints the media watchdog has ordered broadcasters to be more careful about showing sexually explicit music videos before the 9pm watershed.

Janet Jackson Superbowl 2004

TV network CBS had to apologise for its broadcast of the American Super Bowl in 2004 after Janet Jackson was left exposed when Justin Timberlake ripped her top.

The pair had been performing a raunchy half-time duet when Timberlake pulled at her bustier. CBS quickly cut away from the scene but was still flooded with calls from angry viewers about the half-time entertainment, produced by MTV.

Here's what happened before the slip up...

Coronation Street's Lesbian Couple

When Sophie Webster and Sian Powers ended up naked in bed together complaints rushed in that it wasn't suitable for pre-watershed viewing. Some viewers were even concerned that lesbianism was being sensationalised and glamorised. Ofcom had previously ruled that a kiss between the two teens was not in breach of the code.

Here's the on-screen fallout after the complained about scene...

Holly Willoughby's Plunging Neckline Heats Up Dancing On Ice

During last year's Dancing On Ice some viewers took to a TV messageboard to vent their anger about Willoughby's plunging neckline, with one asking: "Why does every woman on TV these days only seem to wear clothes which show their wares?"

Another said: "My two children, aged eight and ten, love the show and we all watch it together as a family before their bedtime, as it starts at 6.15pm. But even they were asking why she was wearing very little."

In reality, it wasn't the biggest sex scandal on TV - only five official complaints were made to ITV, when the show had an audience of 9.8million.

Here's the dress in question...
