Dita Von Teese will bring erotic opium to the masses

Burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese has been paid a six-figure sum to perform her most erotic act ever in London.

Von Teese, 38, will unveil her new creation, The Opium Den, at the adult-lifestyle show Erotica at The Grand Hall Olympia.

More than 60,000 people are expected to attend the event, from this Friday to Sunday.

Von Teese said: "With such a vibrant burlesque and fetish scene, London has always been one of my favourite places to perform."

Erotica organiser Dan Kirby said: "We've had record ticket sales this year."
