'Awkward' moment Channel 4 Naked Attraction contestant is stood up on date

A Nottingham tree surgeon was stood up by his date after choosing her on TV show Naked Attraction.

Dmitri, who compared himself to tree-swinging Tarzan, said he was looking for his 'Jungle Jane' when he appeared on the Channel 4 show on Wednesday, March 2.

"I'm looking for a girl that loves nature like me," he said in his introduction.

Armed with a mullet and moustache, the 25-year-old told said he had been likened to Joe Exotic, but said unlike the 'Tiger King', who had three partners, he had zero.

In the show, one love-seeker is shown six pods containing naked potential suitors. Their bodies are then slowly revealed from the bottom up round-by-round, with one voted off each time.

Designed to be based solely on attraction, the show sees the final person taken on a date.

However, the last woman standing, tattoo artist Lucy, didn't show up to the restaurant.

After being informed by the production team, Dmitri said: "This is awkward".

Explaining the reason she didn't show, Lucy claimed she didn't have a connection with the tree surgeon.

But in a turn of events, runner-up Katie, from Edinburgh, took Lucy's place.

However, despite a date that Dmitri was "more than happy with", the pair fell out of contact and he said he didn't want to see Katie.

She said there was "absolutely no chance" anything would come of it.

Earlier in the show, guided by presenter Anna Richardson, Dmitri first inspected the bottom half of the women.

He expressed a liking for the "animistic" tattoos of the woman in the blue pod, and eventually chose to eliminate orange, a teaching assistant from Portsmouth.

In the second round, when up to the neck of the women was revealed, Dmitri chose to vote off red, a graphic designer from Brighton.

The faces were shown in round three, with Lucy revealing her tongue, which was forked in the middle.

He voted off yellow in that round, and green in the next round.

After stripping bare himself, Dmitri eventually chose Lucy, the girl who would go on to stand him up.
