TV boob by Javine

Her manager called it a 'wardrobe malfunction'. Viewers called to protest.

Javine Hylton's verdict on out-Jordaning topless model Jordan was that it was just downright embarrassing.

During BBC1's Making Your Mind Up on Saturday, the singer was chosen to represent the UK in this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

But as she performed her song for the second time on the live show, after learning she had won, her right breast briefly popped out of her skimpy orange mini-dress before popping back in.

'Oh, my God, that was so embarrassing,' 23-year-old Javine said yesterday.

'I didn't have a clue that my boob was on show. No one told me and I think it only came out for a split second.'

The singer, who beat close competition from Jordan and three other contestants, added: 'I knew the dress was quite skimpy but I wasn't thinking about that too much as I didn't want that to hinder my performance.

'I did have toupee tape to keep everything in place and it was fine for the first performance. But I think someone might have knocked it away when everyone was hugging me when I won.'

Her manager Jonathan Shalit insisted: ' Her's was a genuine wardrobe malfunction, unlike Janet Jackson's.'

Miss Jackson caused outrage in America when she exposed a nipple during a halftime performance at last year's Superbowl match.

At first she described the incident as a 'wardrobe malfunction' but finally admitted it was a publicity stunt.

Such was the public outrage, censorship has been increased across the board and most live television shows in the U.S. have now been given a fivesecond delay to avoid any future offence.

Yesterday, the BBC admitted there had been several complaints about Javine being 'dressed inappropriately' before the 9pm watershed.
