The BBC was forced to issue an apology after Rita Ora trotted out a fair amount of cleavage for the cameras on UK evening program The One Show this week. Ora, who is replacing 2014 The Voice UK coach Kylie Minogue, was making a promotional appearance with co-stars Tom Jones, will.i.am and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson ahead of The Voice‘s return this weekend. She is, of course, no stranger to whipping out her cans.

The One Show and the BBC reportedly received over 400 complaints from viewers, including this gem: “Isn’t it about time the BBC had a dress code? I do not want to see her boobs hanging out on a family programme. I find it quite disgraceful.”

The NME notes that the BBC subsequently released the following statement addressing Rita’s boob fiasco: “The One Show allows guests to choose their own attire and pop stars often opt for something glamorous or striking. We didn’t feel that Rita’s outfit would be outside of most viewers’ expectations of that of a major pop star, but we appreciate that tastes vary.”
