Ofcom says that Tulisa's tattoo didn't breach broadcasting regulations

  • January 25, 2012

Ofcom have ruled that Tulisa Contostavlos' 'signature' X Factor 'Female Boss' tattoo salute did not breach guidelines on the promotion of her perfume of the same name.

Complaints were made that her ridicu­lous arm gesture advert­ised her 'scent', but Ofcom ruled today that ref­er­ences were "appro­pri­ately limited".

However, com­plaints were upheld against a pre-Christmas episode of The Xtra Factor where the judge was inter­viewed by 'Murs and Flack' about her latest entre­pren­eur­ial venture. During the 'chat' Caroline mentioned that she had been wearing the 'fragrance' with Olly respond­ing "I wondered why you were smelling so nice".

The statement reads: "Ofcom con­sidered that, in light of the undue prom­in­ence given to the product by the sequence as a whole and, in par­tic­u­lar, Olly Murs' endorse­ment of it, the sequence appeared to promote Tulisa's perfume."

"Also Olly Murs is a gurning twat."

(It doesn't actually say that last bit BUT IMAGINE IF IT DID.)
