Skins song too raunchy for Radio 1

Radio 1 reportedly dropped plans to play a raunchy song from Skins after producers were concerned about its lyrics, a storyline in which Mills presents a fictional reality show.

The third series of 'Skins' is in full flow, and I've managed to totally avoid it this time. Well done me.

Though I do now know that a recent episode featured a storyline where a fictional reality show were looking for members for a new girl group, and the fictional show was presented by Radio 1's Scott Mills.

One 'Skins' character auditioned for the group by singing a rather raunchy song called 'Ass 2 Ass'. Mills reportedly planned to play the song when 'Skins' actors guested on his Radio 1 show but was overruled by station bosses because of the track's lyrics.

The Guardian reports: "Apparently producers got cold feet because of its risque lyrics, which include the memorable line: 'He wants to see me going ass to ass with you'. Nice".
