Bosses of a breakfast television broadcast in the UK demanded that quirky pop sensation Lady Gaga tone down her daring stage attire to avoid offending some of the show’s more conservative viewers.

The hitmaker dropped by Britain’s GMTV on Thursday to perform her new hit single Paparazzi,” but producers were concerned about how her signature skimpy outfits and provocative dancing moves would go over with viewers. Gaga was asked to cut out the racier elements of her performance out of respect for the audience — that meant no riding on anyone’s “disco stick” while cameras were rolling.

“She finally agreed to tone it down. The nation would have been coughing up cornflakes if she’d had her way,” a source told The Sun Friday.
