The BBC has now received over 400 complaints about Rita Ora's plunging neckline on The One Show on Monday night, while Ofcom is thought to have received a further 28 complaints.

The 24-year-old pop star, who joins the judging line-up on The Voice this Saturday, appeared in a white Ermanno Scervino trouser suit with nothing underneath her blazer.

The daring outfit was deemed too provocative for a pre-watershed time slot and BBC's Points of View message board was flooded with complaints from viewers.

One post said: "Isn't it about time the BBC had a dress code?

"I do not want to see her boobs hanging out on a family programme.

"I find it quite disgraceful."

Another post read: "I am no prude but found it totally inappropriate."

 

Viewers were furious because it's a pre-watershed "family show" airing at 7pm.
Angry viewers flooded BBC's message boards & social media.
28 made official complaints to media watchdog OFCOM, who might launch an official investigation.
BBC apologized, "We're sorry to those of you who were offended by Rita Ora's choice of outfit on yesterday's interview. If we had been consulted on it we would have requested she wore something more suitable for 7pm."

Is the U.K really THAT sensitive over things like this?
I remember after Gaga's DWUW performance on the X-Factor in 2013 people complained.

Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen
