Chanelle: 'Sex tape was publicity stunt'

Chanelle Hayes has admitted that her recent sex tape was a publicity stunt for a new TV show.

A video featuring the Big Brother 8 star cavorting around a bedroom in her underwear was leaked onto the internet last week.

The professional nature of the 40-second clip prompted commentators to suggest that it was a publicity stunt for her forthcoming debut single 'I Want It'.

Her agent told reporters at the weekend: "All will become clear later."

Earlier today the full-length video was released, confirming suspicions that the clip wasn't an accidental leak.

The video featured Hayes enjoying a sexual encounter with a character from the new MTV puppet comedy series Fur TV.

A spokesperson for the reality TV star said: "It was a bit of fun and a great publicity stunt."
