Typical BBC and its 139 viewers Who actually complained
Why do we pay our tv licence to keep these clowns and agencies in a job

I'm sure it helped viewing figures

To be honest, whilst it was pleasing to the eye for most red blooded males, I'm on the fence on this one. This show is televised before the watershed and has in the past received some flak in the past for sexualising some performances during this show. This show is is watched by my 3 young daughters and countless other children of all ages, I don't want them to think it is acceptable for them to wear such revealing clothes. Some notable comments (which I won't repeat) were made by my 2 eldest daughters about her revealing dress and her ***** which of course my youngest picks up. Then again I don't want them grow up thining that they can't wear what they want. Perhaps this is the parent in me, but some modesty wouldn't have gone a miss.

It's not about whether one is being prudish or not, my point is about whether such attire is acceptable on a show that is watched by children of all ages. I thought nothing of it until my children made some comments about it.

As Chopperman said, watch some of the music videos that's on all day everyday. And then you will notice that what you have mentioned above is nothing compared to a lot of those videos.

Personally I think Holly Gorgeous! And she can show her cleavage to me anytime They are natural and its only human to show people unless there prudish. I mean, who modifies their car to make it look gorgeous and sexy and then leave it in the garage? lol

Bring it on Holly Willowbooby

Only thing I'd say is you'd have to gag her, because that voice would drive you nuts.

I fail to see what all the fuss is about her.
her mouth is ENORMOUS, out of all proportion. She looks like one of those Canadian kids on South Park.

Yes, she's got a gino pair, but I repeat: big ***** do not a beauty make.

I'll admit that i was one of those that complained to the BBC.

Dear Sir, Holly has a lovely pair, it seems such a shame to hide em away. It can't have been comfy for Holly having that black dress crushing em. After 9pm is it possible we can have em out on the red button as a bit of a compromise ?

so what, she was showing a bit of cleavage.
on hollyoaks at 6.30, they showed 2 blokes snogging

yes, i know some people are gay and it should be accepted (IMO it's just wrong), but are you saying that a bit of cleavage is worse than showing 2 blokes snogging?

and yes, i have 2 sons and i know what i would rather them see

Well, that's not really an argument is it. You'd rather not let your boys watch a programme where 2 blokes are kissing, I'd rather let my children watch someone who was a tiny bit more modest.

Nobody under 18 should ever see breasts, this is the thin end of the wedge, one minute its 12 year olds seeing some cleavage, then its 8 year olds seeing a nipple and before you know it there are babies actually sucking on them.

Oooh I remember when I saw that banned nivea showergel ad with side-boob shown in it. Scarred for life!

Ffs, really? Is an attractive woman showing cleavage actually harming anyone? Is anyone really trying to say that this will impress so much upon their (female) kids that it will turn them into Geordie Shore slags? Erm, sensible parenting would be the answer. If kids turn out like *****, it's probably a good reflection of the parents.

Then again, if the tv is the babysitter and biggest guide in the kids life, lacking moral direction from the parents and assuming tv is the an example of how to live then yeah maybe a point there. The Victorians must have had it right!

Get a bloody grip. So bored of hearing the cry of "oh, think of the children!"

For all the Kenny Everett, Benny Hill and Emannuel shows I saw as a kid, I only ever ended up burying but a few chopped up hookers in the woods....

It may be me, but I've always thought that theres something not quite right with Holly's face? Very over-rated looking woman IMO!

It's only slutty if you show **** and ****.

Seriously though, I can understand where people are coming from in that it was a little revealing, but it wasn't so bad to warrant complaints imo. Yes, she showed off her cleavage, but overall the dress wasn't slutty. There is no reason why there should be something wrong with wearing a nice outfit, even if it does show off assets a bit.

Compared to some images thrust in the faces of our youngsters, this was quite tame.
