Jessica Alba has lashed out at MTV bosses after being forced to kiss a chimp.

The 24-year-old says she was coerced into kissing the animal for a pre-recorded clip for the MTV Movie Awards, due to be held later this year.

She explained: "It was awful. All of a sudden there was a monkey in my arms and I had to do a clip for 'most romantic moment' award at the MTV movie awards. So the monkey's in my arms and I'm supposed to give her a peck. She opened her mouth and her tongue is scraping against my teeth. Monkeys' teeth are really long, kind of like a snake.

"Then I had to do it again and she grabbed both of my ears and screamed in my face and showed me all of her teeth. I thought she was going to bite my face off. I think monkeys should be left in trees."
