Raunchy Christina opens MTV awards

Christina Aguilera opened the MTV Europe’s music awards tonight with a raunchy stripping nun routine.

The singer came on stage in Edinburgh wearing a nun’s habit and surrounded by a choir.

She then ripped off the habit to reveal a barely there top and leather chaps and broke into the opening bars of her hit song Dirrty.

It was the first of many costume changes for Aguilera, who is hosting the awards at Leith’s Ocean Terminal.

She was followed on stage by Beyonce, who wore a silver dress as she performed new single Baby Boy with Sean Paul.

The first award of the night went to Justin Timberlake, who won best album for Justified.

The Panjabi MC took home the award for best dance.
