Strictly Come Dancing: Robbie Savage thrusts his way into spotlight

First we had Rihanna and Christina Aguilera's watershed-bothering routines on The X Factor final , which helped prompt an Ofcom crackdown on raunchy music videos and performances . Now everyone's favourite ex-footballer, Robbie Savage , has got in on the hip-wiggling act on Strictly Come Dancing , causing Ofcom's switchboard to light up like a Christmas tree with viewer complaints (well, nearly 300, anyhow). Savage, not content with head-butting a camera while attempting a reducer tackle during the previous week's jive routine, on Saturday introduced a bit of crotch-grab-and-butt-thrust action to the paso doble – finishing up standing on the judges' desk giving Craig Revel Horwood an extreme close-up of his … meat and two veg. Nice. Apart from giving Monkey the chance to shoehorn in one of its favourite aphorisms – that history repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce – it can also offer the BBC an easy way to avoid giving Ofcom any more reasons to scrutinise Savage's jiggling derriere. Just give him the Elvis treatment and only shoot him from the waist up. Or better still, scupper Savage's shameless attention-seeking by just focusing on his dance partner. .
