Britney walkout
Related Articles
27 April 2004
The last time she performed in Britain, Britney Spears was a squeaky clean, self-confessed virgin.
How times have changed. Last night at Wembley Arena, the 22-year-old American pop star performed suggestive dance routines in skimpy clothing.
Her act was so raunchy that scores of parents who had taken their children to the concert left early.
Miss Spears kicked off the event in a skin-tight black PVC catsuit and spiky leather boots before launching into her recent number one hit, Toxic.
At one point she took to the stage in just a bra, knickers and suspenders.
And later she appeared to be naked in a bath while her dancers writhed on satin-sheeted beds nearby.
Sarah Scott, 39, a housewife from Essex who had taken along her tenyearold son Cameron, said: 'I'm very shocked.
'That is not what I was expecting at all. It's not at all appropriate for Britney's target audience, and it was completely wrong.'
Catherine Navin, a 39-year- old travel agent from Hertfordshire, who was there with son Jackson, eight, and daughter Shannon, ten, said: 'I felt a lot of it was over the top.
'At one point, when Britney appeared to be naked on stage, I told my children to shut their eyes and look away. I think they were embarrassed more than anything else.'
Amanda Gunn, 33, from Orpington, Kent, who was accompanied by her six-year-old daughter Megan, said: 'I had to put my hand over her eyes because I didn't want her to see what was going on.'
Mother- of-three Tina Foster, 32, from Brentwood, Essex, said: 'I asked the children if they wanted to leave early, and they said yes right away.
'They felt uncomfortable watching such raunchy scenes - and I felt uncomfortable as well.'
