A NAKED Attraction star has lifted the lid on what it’s really like to appear on the hit Channel 4 show – and revealed just how long contestants are expected to be in the nude.
The daring dating series, hosted by Anna Richardson, has been shocking audiences since 2016 with its risqué concept.
Singletons strip down completely as a potential date judges them on their body, bit by bit, before the pair head off to see if sparks fly.
But behind the scenes, the experience is far more intense than it appears on screen.
A former contestant named Gavin recently spoke about his time on the show, revealing that the process is a lot more grueling than viewers might think.
Gavin explained: “It’s a long day. They do some hair and make up and then you get to meet the people you’re up against.
“You’ve got about two hours of standing in a box until it all starts.
“It ended up being from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon to film half an hour of television.”
He added: “They come round and take loads of pictures for the mash-ups. It was quite a lengthy process, but enjoyable.”
Contestants in the lineup reportedly have to remain nude for the majority of the 12-hour filming process
While this might seem daunting for many, Gavin seemed to enjoy the unique experience of featuring on the show.
Thankfully for the clothed contestant choosing their date, the experience is slightly less intense.
Reports suggest that they only need to be nude for about 15 minutes of the day, making their role seem comparatively easier.
Host Anna Richardson has previously shared some hilarious moments from her time on Naked Attraction.
On the Andy Jaye Podcast, she recalled an incident where a male contestant got a little too excited during filming.
She shared: “We did have a couple of seasons ago, there was a young man who I think might have been in the pink pod. He was getting a little bit excited about what was about to happen.
“So our lovely floor manager, Dave the floor manager, had to go ‘come on’ and just had to escort him off the floor for a little while, just to calm down. And then he was brought back onto set.
“It always happens. Boys being boys, you can’t control your anatomy, can you? So, there’s been a little bit of excitement.”
