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.
‘It's very empowering to women to feel confident in their own skin and in their bodies and this represents that. ‘Everyone in the spotlight is judged and there are many opinions out there but I stick true to what I believe in.’
