Channel Seven's most FILTHY midday movie yet? Sleazy scenes of massage Parlour air at lunchtime as Jennifer Love Hewitt all in The Client List
Channel Seven is notorious for airing naughty Lifetime movies at midday on a Friday.
And this week's offering, 2010's The Client List starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, was particularly raunchy.
The made-for-TV film centres around an illegal massage parlour and includes several sleazy s*x scenes.
Jennifer spends much of the film in lingerie servicing her male clients.
In one s*xually-charged scene, her character wears a plunging lace bodice and suspenders she prepares to offer a customer 'extras'.
In another scene, she slips into black lingerie and a leopard print cover-up.
It's not just Jennifer's character that strips off in The Client List either, as Kacey Rohl and Heather Doerksen also feature in massage parlour scenes.
Jennifer plays Samantha Horton, a devoted wife and mother-of-three who ends up in the s*x industry by accident when her family hits financial trouble.
Desperate to find work, she is employed as a masseuse but soon learns it's not a legitimate business at all but actually a brothel.
Despite her initial misgivings, she soon embraces her new career and becomes one of the most popular working girls.
In addition to its s*xually explicit content, The Client List also includes drug references as Samantha turns to cocaine to fuel her lifestyle.
While the adult themes will no doubt have raised eyebrows, the broadcast did not violate any television industry guidelines.
Under the 2010 Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice, mature-rated content can be legally broadcast between the hours of 12pm and 3pm on a weekday.
This 'classification zone' is in addition to the more widely-known 8.30pm to 5am watershed for films above a PG rating.
The Client List is based on a real-life prostitution scandal that unfolded in Odessa, Texas in 2004 and premiered on the Lifetime Network in 2010.
Jennifer was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in the movie that was later adapted into a short-lived television series.
Last month, Channel Seven made headlines again when it aired another raunchy midday movie about the tragic life of Anna Nicole Smith.
