Ant And Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway hit by 68 Ofcom complaints by furious viewers slamming Pussycat Dolls sexy dance
ANGRY viewers have hit out at Ant And Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway by slamming last weekend’s Pussycat Dolls sexy performance.
The Sun can exclusively reveal that 68 disgruntled fans took the extreme measure of complaining to Ofcom about the dance – despite the two cheeky hosts holding up “censored” placards during the routine.
The Buttons singers – known for their raunchy routines – put on quite a show when they sang a medley of their hits on the popular ITV show.
During the performance Ant and Dec jokingly ‘censored’ their routine and asked the singers to “tone down” their risque style for their “family friendly” show.
They were poking fun at the band’s comeback performance during the final of X Factor: Celebrity which received 802 complaints over its sexualised content.
However, the five-piece ignored their request and in very funny scenes the flustered pair’s attempt to use signs and a “censor button” to stop the show failed.
As the recently reunited band took to the stage in revealing black ensembles, Ant and Dec watched from the audience, but as soon as they started gyrating, they headed down to try and put a halt on it.
At one point they even put up a fake sign saying ‘Sorry for the disruption’ but the group just ripped right through it.

As the girls moved across the studio, Ant and Dec removed their suit jackets and tried to place them on Nicole Scherzinger and Kimberly Wyatt.
When that failed, the cheeky hosts started taking off their shirts as the audience cheered, before Dec got down on the floor so Ant could pull his trousers off over his shoes.
But some viewers didn’t see the funny side and called up Ofcom to complain, with the watchdog telling us that 68 people weren’t happy with what they were seeing on TV.
