American Idol Contestant Exposed As Stripper

American Idol hopeful David Hernandez has had his shameful past exposed – He used to work as a nude dancer at an Arizona strip club.

The manager of the Phoenix club Burn came forward with the information about his former employee, insisting that the wannabe singer used to dance at the strip joint.

However, despite the scandal, American Idols bigwigs have decided to keep Hernandez in the show.

Executive producer Ken Warwick told TVGuide: "If it were some sort of heavy porn, then maybe we'd have to take action. But certainly not on this.

"We're never judgmental about what people do to earn a living. They've gotta put food in people's mouths."

Hopefully that’s the only thing David put in someone’s mouth.
