Ofcom receives over 400 complaints about Pussycat Dolls X Factor performance

Ofcom have been inundated with complaints after the Pussycat dolls performed on X Factor.

The band performed on the talent show for the first time in almost 10 years, but it was their costumes that got people talking.

The band wore very raunchy costumes, with many comparing the performance to a "strip show."

And now The Mirror has revealed that the broadcasting watchdog has received 419 complaints so far, after the Saturday performance.

Many fans thought Nicole Scherzinger, 41, and her four bandmates took their raunchy routine a little too far with their costumes and gyrating dance moves.

The girls turned up the heat in the studio, with things only getting more x-rated as they ended the routine by being soaked in water.

Their performance came before the 9pm watershed, and upset many watching at home.

One wrote: "Disgusting, disrespectful and shameful and all before the watershed. X-Factor is a family show and I enjoy it with my 7 year old daughter who was shocked and disgusted as was I.

"Call yourself a role model, put some clothes on and grow up."

Another said: "Disgusted with Pussycats (sic) dolls on X factor tonight. I’m sorry but I am there are millions of young girls watching this and thinking that they have to look that thin to get recognised.

"This is a family programme and it’s a disgrace!"

A third tweeted: "That pussycat dolls performance was unadulterated filth."

And a fourth said: "I wouldn't want kids watching this...

"Looks like a trashy strip show! Gees there's a time + place for it! How sad that these women feel the need to dress like that when they know kids watch the show. Grim."
