Robbie & Kylie's duet trimmed

K/R Kylie and Robbie sing "Kids"
Robbie Williams' duet with Kylie Minogue is being shortened.

The video for "Kids" will have to be shortened before it is shown on BBC's "Top Of The Pops," due to "offensive" lyrics, dotmusic reports.

"Although we accept that lots of pop music is inextricably linked with sex, we have to bear in mind people's sensitivities and the large age range of our audience," a spokesman for the show told dotmusic. "We have decided that it is not appropriate to show the video in full because some of the lyrics may cause offence to some viewers."

Robbie's video for "Rock DJ" was also altered for "Top of The Pops" because scenes in which he was shown ripping off pieces of his flesh were considered inappropriate for young viewers.
