Lily Allen's recreation of the Nativity scene at her gig at London's Brixton Academy this weekend has caused controversy, attracting criticism from a Christian group who described it as 'tasteless'. 

The Sheezus star was performing at he O2 Academy in Brixton on Friday (12 December) when she appeared in the manger as Jesus Christ, with her crew around her presents and a donkey. 

Most just saw it as a bit of festive fun, but others found it offensive - with some sources referencing Allen's somewhat revealing dress. 

However, now Christian Voice spokesman Stephen Green has told the Sunday Express: "It is tasteless, it is disrespectful and it is crass."

Describing the events, our reviewer wrote: "The singer recreated the nativity scene on stage and, in bizarre circumstances, slipped out of the manger and launched straight into her now infamous track 'Sheezus' to start the show.

"Baby Sheezus dazzled in a blue dress and was supported by two wise men, a shepherd and various other festive characters for this Christmas themed show, Strutting around on stage and flanked by giant baby bottles, the outspoken Allen showcased her career to date, much to the delight of her audience."

Lily Allen is yet to respond to Christian Voice's criticism.
