So You Think You Can Dance? is a hit around the world, even though not one person has ever admitted to watching it. So, to stir up some interest in the Australia version's second series (a.k.a. "season"), contestant Penny Higgs decided to pose topless for an online magazine.
Surprisingly, her producers didn't have a problem with it...
According to local news source Adelaide Now, Higgs posed for the photos over a year ago and, remarkably enough, the producers were actually cool with it. (By the way, we're surprised not because we disagree but because you almost never hear about "reasonable" reality show producers.)
While producers were unaware of the photographs until contacted by Confidential, a spokesman later determined they were 12 months old.
"We would have been concerned if she'd done it without telling us but they're old shots," he said.
Penny Higgs is favored by some to win the self-promotion competition, with host and #1 recording artist Natalie Bassingthwaighte the major competition to become the show's breakout star.
