YOUNG drunk women strip naked on a disco dancefloor as leering men laugh and jeer in a shocking display of degradation in Scotland’s clubland.

These shocking scenes of girls cowering in embarrassment as the DJ leading the degrading game urges them to keep stripping will alarm every parent in the country.

The girls were filmed as they desperately tried to cover up during a Thursday club night in Motherwell’s Mega Bar.

Licensing authorities yesterday confirmed that police would be called in to probe the incident detailed in the appalling nine-minute clip posted on YouTube.

Their footage comes just days after another video emerged of a couple stripping naked on a balcony at Coatbridge nightclub Level 2 while the DJ promises them £100 if they have sex in full view of the dancefloor.

Experts yesterday warned of a growing culture of sleazy sex games in bars and clubs across the country.

In the Mega Bar, six girls were offered a bottle of cheap champagne to strip naked and cover up with bin liners in a game called Stretch Your Clothes led by afro-wigged DJ Daddy Cool – real name Stephen Sunnucks.

Sunnucks got the girls to spread their clothes in a line along the dance floor during his club night 10 days ago.

The girl who made the longest trail would be declared the winner.

But other clubbers grabbed their clothes – leaving the girls completely naked in the busy club.

When we approached Sunnucks, 45, of Paisley, and quizzed him about the “game”, he said: “I’m aware of licensing laws and know what’s acceptable.

“I’ve always tried to create a fun atmosphere with the crowd but on rare occasions things can get a little out of hand.

“It’s important to get situations back under control when that happens but I don’t think the incident you’re referring to was particularly bad.”

But a shocked reveller who witnessed the sleazy goings-on said: “The girls were aged between 18 and 22 and had been drinking cocktails.

“They were told that whoever made the longest line of clothes would win a bottle of cheap champagne.

“The inference was that if they took off their pants and bras they would be able to make a longer line.

“They were handed bin bags to cover up but some of them didn’t seem able to use them and the whole thing just felt wrong.

“Some of the girls panicked a bit when they couldn’t find their clothes and others found their underwear was gone.”

Labour MSP Jenny Marra, shadow minister for community safety, demanded answers from the nightclub and accused the DJ of exploiting the clubbers.

She said: “It is desperately sad to hear that young women who have been drinking are being exploited in this way.

“This is not entertainment, it is exploitation. It is degrading in the extreme.

“A clear message needs to be sent to nightclub owners that encouraging or accommodating this type of behaviour is not acceptable.”

And Paul Waterson, of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, added: “We don’t condone this type of behaviour and would expect any licensing board to take a dim view of it.

“There is a number of very robust sanctions available which can be imposed on errant licence holders.

“People must run their premises properly and make sure that they act within the licensing laws.”

Sunnucks – a well known figure on the Scottish club circuit for more than 20 years – performs as DJ Daddy Cool at the Mega Bar every Thursday.

He used work under the name Shuggie Wuggie and has built a reputation in the west of Scotland for his OTT antics.

In 2003, his dance track Put Your Hauns Up In The Air, featuring catchphrases from Chewin’ The Fat, became a hit.

Strict laws ban nudity in licensed premises and the owners could face losing their licence if police believe the rules are being flouted.

A North Lanarkshire Council licensing spokesman said yesterday: “We are aware of the information and have passed it on to Strathclyde Police.”

A police spokeswoman said they were awaiting details but sources said officers are likely to begin an investigation into possible breaches of licensing laws within days.

The club hit the headlines in 2008 when four men were stabbed outside its doors in a single early hours attack.

Reality TV star Joey Essex from The Only Way Is Essex is due to make a guest appearance at Mega Bar next month.

Owner: What's the big fuss?

Mega Bar’s owner yesterday insisted there was nothing alarming about the horrific strip show.

Unrepentant Ray Codona insisted the girls in the video weren't totally naked, despite the footage clearly showing some being handed back their pants.

He said: “I don’t think the girls are naked. They appear to be naked because the clip is so grainy.

“But the venue’s CCTV footage is a lot clearer and I am confident it will prove that no licensing laws have been broken.”

The Codona family established themselves in travelling fairgrounds in Aberdeen but now have businesses across the country.

Codona, 45, and Stephen Sunnucks were directors of Independent Leisure Concepts Ltd before the DJ resigned this year.

Codona also once owned Level 2, the club in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, where a DJ urged a naked couple to have sex in public for £100, but says he is no longer involved.

Police are now probing the incident in the Coatbridge club after receiving complaints from customers about alleged indecency.

Club chiefs told to stop parties turning into porn

Club owners were warned yesterday they have a duty to stop their businesses descending into a sleazy cesspool.

Donald McLeod, chairman of Glasgow Licensing Forum, said: “There is a huge difference between fun and exploitation.

“Licence holders have a responsibility to their customers, many of whom are young and have different ideas on how they want to enjoy themselves. But encouraging young women to strip naked for a bottle of champagne is distasteful.”

Susan Young, editor of licensing trade magazine The Dram, added: “I’ve heard of this sort of thing happening in the past but the licensing trade in Scotland has worked hard to move away from this sort of behaviour.

“It’s irresponsible for a DJ to encourage young women, who may be under the influence of alcohol, to take part in this sort of activity and potentially put their safety at risk.

“The trade is all about making people happy and DJs are hired to improve the atmosphere – but this kind of thing isn’t entertainment.”
