Viewers slammed a recent performance by The Pussycat Dolls on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, which saw the singing sensations perform some of their biggest hits.
Camila Cabello, who was the celebrity guest announcer joked that The Pussycat Dolls would be performing: “in a family-friendly, nothing-to-complain-about performance at the end of the show show”.
The girl group, who are known for their risque performances, have previously been hit by Ofcom complaints following their reunion performance on The X Factor when they debuted their comeback single, React.
But, it has now been reported by The Sun that their Saturday night performance has received 68 complaints – despite Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly holding up “censored” placards throughout their performance.

They were mocking the singers after their X Factor performance received an eye-watering 802 complaints to the television watchdog giant.
Despite Ant and Dec parading around with the censor placards , the Jai Ho singers continued with their routine – forcing the Geordie duo to intervene with a “censor button” which also failed to halt the group.
As the group who reunited at the end of 2019 started their performance donning revealing black outfits, Ant and Dec watched on from the audience but dived out of their seats when the quintet started gyrating.

In a bid to stop the performance all together, they went as far as to display a fake sign replicating one used by ITV reading: “Sorry for the disruption”.
But, seeing the funny side, Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta and Carmit Bachar tore through the huge sign and got on with their routine.

Jokingly, as they moved across the ITV studio, Ant and Dec started removing their jackets and attempted to put them on Nicole and Kimberly but were unsuccessful.
They later took their shirts off to cover the singers before Dec eventually removed his trousers – much to the delight of the audience.
