ITV was inundated with over one thousand complaints, while TV watchdog Ofcom heard from a further thousand disgruntled viewers over the weekend, after Ms Aguilera returned to her X-Tina ways.
The scantly-clad singer took to the stage, shimmying her way through a provocative dance alongside a troupe of skimpily-dressed dancers.
Now, in the wake of the uproar, Christina has spoken out about her raunchy routine, defending the Burlesque style. ‘I don't think there is such a thing as too raunchy when it comes to the art form of burlesque,’ she told the Daily Express.
