Prodigy Singer Shocks Versace Catwalk

The lead singer with the band Prodigy, Keith Flint, shocked Milan's fashion establishment by simulating oral sex with a male spectator and licking a woman's face during a Versace fashion show in Milan.

According to accounts in Monday's Italian newspaper, Flint livened up his performance in Milan over the weekend by jumping off the catwalk and moving his pelvis close to a man's face before terrorising other spectators with sexual innuendoes.

The act was seen as a carefully choreographed publicity stunt ahead of the release of the group's latest album, "Always outnumbered, never outgunned", which is due to hit music stores in August. Flint had reportedly nearly broken his leg while practising the stunt.

Host Donatella Versace had been keen to avoid a different kind of scandal by forbidding Flint from wearing a tee-shirt with references to Satan on the catwalk, reports said.
