BBC defends glitter video

The BBC has defended its decision to create a video tutorial on how women can decorate their breasts with glitter.

A clip showing a woman spray-painting her body and applying jewelled stickers over her nipples was uploaded by BBC Scotland’s The Social.

But critics of the content labelled it inappropriate in the comments section of the video.

A BBC spokesman respond- ed: “The Social has a specific remit to create content aimed at 18- to 34-year-olds and the topics covered are led by our audience. In this case the content was all produced by young women and aimed at their peers. The overwhelming response from the 160,000 who viewed it was very positive.”

One Facebook user commented on the video: “Complained about this last week, got told to expect more of the same so unfollowed after seeing this again today.”
