Why 2010 X Factor final featuring Christina Aguilera was sexualised Routine (Video)

Last year's X Factor final featuring Christina Aguilera and her backing dancers in a racy routine was "at the very margin of acceptability", broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has ruled. The "sexualised" pre-watershed scenes, aired in December on ITV1 at the end of the seventh series, sparked 2,868 complaints to the media regulator. US singer Aguilera donned a short black dress while her female dancers, who were bent over chairs, wore suspenders, bra tops, fishnet stockings and basques in the raunchy routine. Ofcom said that over one million young children were watching the live final, and 50,000 saw the repeat the following morning. It stated that Rihanna's performance on the same night, where she removed a wraparound dress to parade on stage in a bikini, was not inappropriate for the time when it was broadcast.

But it said that Aguilera's burlesque-style routine "was at the very margin of acceptability for broadcast before the 9pm watershed and especially" when it was repeated at 9.30am the next day. It has now asked ITV to attend a meeting on the issue. As a result of the broadcast, Ofcom also wants broadcasters who intend to transmit similar material to meet the watchdog to discuss whether it complies with the broadcasting code.

Viewers complained that the material should not have been on "a family show", and that the raunchy content was "too sexually explicit and inappropriate for the young audience".

UK -Imogen Thomas Affair with Premier League Love Cheat (Who is Imogen Thomas )

THE Premier League footballer who cheated on his wife with model Imogen Thomas was last night petrified he will be named.

He won a gagging order last week banning details of his seven-month sexual relationship with the stunning former Big Brother contestant becoming public. But the player – who has an image as a family man – fears his identity could be exposed if the injunction is successfully challenged at a High Court hearing on Wednesday.

A source close to the star said: “He is terrified his name will be revealed and is worried about the impact this would have on his marriage and family.”Distraught Imogen, 28, told how she had begged him to use his influence to suppress the story when news of the romance leaked.

But she was shocked to be served with a legal ban threatening jail if she ever revealed his identity.

In an interview with our sister paper the Sunday Mirror she said: “One minute we were madly in love, the next I was being hit with an injunction, being made to feel like some sort of criminal – his lawyers were very cold with me. I’ve been crying for days.

“These injunctions only seem to exist to look after high-profile people. I know what I did was wrong but he’s the one with a wife and children – he’s the cheater. Now my life is in pieces.“I can’t stop crying but I don’t suppose he is because he is protected by the law.

“I’ve been branded a home wrecker and a whore. But he hasn’t lost anything.”

Imogen also revealed how the footballer promised her last week: “I’ll look after you.” But she has not heard from him since.

She said: “When I heard he was going to abandon me and let my name come out, that was when I felt hurt and betrayed.” Imogen told how she met the love rat in a populr London club last year.She said: “I knew he was married but I was caught up in the moment. The first thing I said to him afterwards was ‘that’s it, you’re a married man, let’s leave it there’.”Yet the Premier League star continued to chase her and Imogen said: “I called it off a million times but he kept coming back.”
