FABIA Cerra’s burlesque strip has landed Britain’s Got Talent in hot water with Ofcom. The telly watchdog is considering whether to investigate the ITV1 show after receiving about 40 complaints from shocked viewers when the dancer revealed her curves wearing just a basque and stockings. During her routine Fabia, 35, unveiled her huge breasts which were covered by tiny red nipple tassels – one of which fell off midway through her performance.

Her giant assets were covered by flags digitally added to the show before it aired on Saturday night.

Loud-mouthed judges Simon CowellSimon Cowell, Piers MorganPiers Morgan and Amanda Holden were left speechless by her raunchy act.

All three put her through to the next round, with Piers exclaiming: “You are my kind of woman."

It’s now thought the show could have breached the broadcasting code over taste and decency.

But ITV has defended its decision to air the audition.

A spokesman said: “Fabia's performance was given careful consideration by ITV, the producers Talkback Thames and compliance licensee Channel Television.

"As a result, the segment was edited in order to obscure any inappropriate detail and it was felt that the overall effect was comedic rather than titillating."
