POP star Sabrina Carpenter has received even more complaints to the media watchdog, Ofcom, over her set at last week’s Brit Awards.
The Please, Please, Please singer, 25, performed two of her hits at the ceremony in London, and while she got plenty of cheers from the audience, some people watching at home thought her set was ‘too sexy.’

Sabrina opened the show in a red lingerie ensemble and in her premiere Brits performance donned a Union Jack wrap and featured dancers dressed as The King’s Guard.
She sung her hits Espresso and Bed Chem during the opening number, which included her dancing on a red, heart-shaped bed.
Viewers were divided over the performance with some on social media dubbing it too risque for the 8:20pm time slot, and others taking it a step further by registering complaints with Ofcom.
Along with Charli XCX’s outfit, the pair received 825 complaints which has now jumped to almost 1,000 more than a week after the Brits aired on TV.
Since airing on March 1, the Brit Awards received a further 104 complaints bringing the total to 929 reports to the media watchdog.
An Ofcom spokesperson told The Sun this week: “The majority of complaints related to Sabrina Carpenter’s opening dance routine, and to Charlie XCX’s outfit. These are additional to last week and the cumulative total is 929.”
Charli XCX rocked the red carpet in a sheer black dress and managed to be a huge success on the night.
She won the Brit Awards for the Artist, Album, Songwriter, Song of the Year and Dance Act categories.
Sabrina appeared to react to the social media commentary and Ofcom complaints about her performance in an Instagram post after the Brits.
The Grammy-award winner posted a series of photos from the night, including backstage and red carpet snaps, along with a caption reacting to the Ofcom complaints she was threatened with.
“Brits i now know what watershed is!!!!” Sabrina wrote, referring to the broadcasting code that dictates what kind of content can be shown on TV before the 9pm watershed.
