Ofcom said that showing a striptease act when many children were watching "clearly crossed" the line before the 9pm watershed. Viewers saw the stripper, Scarlet, being introduced to the Britain's Got Talent judges - Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams - in a full-length sequinned dress, necklace and gloves. On stage, she sang The Jungle Book's "Bare Necessities" as Britain's Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern appeared backstage holding a card with the words "Get em off!" Plan auto-renews until cancelled Try for free But Ofcom said that the nudity was more evident than in previous shows due its "frequency and close-up" shots and that the pixellation was of "limited effectiveness".
