Beth Ditto performs striptease in London

Gossip's Beth Ditto has performed a striptease at a London nightclub.

Ditto took off several items of clothing after her dance-punk band played a gig at the Sin venue, according to The Mirror.

A source commented: "No one knew where to look. She had no qualms about getting her kit off."

The singer appeared naked on the front cover of NME magazine in 2006 after she was voted the coolest person in rock.

Her band are currently working on the follow-up to their Standing In The Way Of Control album.
