Leeds 'sexpert' slams new TV show's 'shocking dirty talk'

A Leeds "sexpert" has hit out at "shocking" dirty talk in a popular new TV show. Jodie Slee, 39, has condemned the language used in The Idol as not "inclusive".

The Idol is a new American drama series starring Abel Tesfaye, who is known to more people as The Weeknd, and Johnny Depp's daughter Lily Rose Depp. In the show, Depp plays Jocelyn - an aspiring pop idol who begins a relationship with Tedros (The Weeknd) and attempts to reclaim her title as the US' sexiest pop star.

The show has not received overwhelmingly positive reviews and Jodie has hit out at the HBO show's use of "fairly explicit" language in sex scenes, claiming it does not add anything but "shock". Viewers were left infuriated by the derogative language used in the show which also made references to suffocation.
