Church refuses to show too much flesh

Teen soprano Charlotte Church is refusing her record company's demands to promote a sexier image on her next album - because her grandmother hates raunchy stars.

Teen soprano Charlotte Church is refusing her record company's demands to promote a sexier image on her next album - because her grandmother hates raunchy stars.

The Voice of an Angel singer, 18, fears if she follows Beyonce Knowles' sexy example she will alienate her family.

Church explains: "If I do the whole t*ts and a*se thing it won't be the end of the world, but I want my nan to be able to look at my videos without squirming.

"Let's say I made a really sexy video like Beyonce. My nan would be like, 'That's disgusting. What about the 50-year-old men having a perv on you?'

"It's all about my family, it really is. I don't care what a record company man says. I get my mother to judge things like that because she has a bit of cleavage, and she doesn't mind me doing that either, but then she'll say, 'No, that's too much. That's not classy any more, that's not dignified.'

"If I went up to her in a little dress with my a*se cheeks hanging out she'd say, 'You look a f***ing mess. Get home and change.'"
