Dating Naked UK is a Paramount Plus reality show hosted by Rylan Clark that sees singletons look for love in 2024 while completely undressed!
Reality shows such as Love Island 2024 and Too Hot to Handle often feature contestants in skimpy outfits and barely-there swimwear but this new series will see a group of singletons shed their clothes entirely to find their soulmate.
Based on the US version of Dating Naked, this 10-part UK series will see a group of single men and women moving in together in a tropical paradise. But only brave souls should apply, as nudity is compulsory.
“It is no secret that I love a reality TV show, but this one is going to blow your minds,” says Rylan. “Not only does it feature dating and drama, but on top of that everyone will be totally starkers! You will not want to miss this — I can’t wait for you all to see.”

What happens in Dating Naked UK
Dating Naked UK will make Summer even hotter, as ten naked singletons take their search for love to a whole new level. Fed up of the dating game and ditching the complications and constraints of the modern world, these singles will be stripping right back to basics and baring all, in the name of finding love. With an abundance of drama, desire and dates, this brand-new series brings together a host of larger-than-life personalities all with one thing in common – they are living in a tropical paradise, stark naked 24/7.
In this ultimate dating experiment, the singles will be put to the test as the arrival of naked newbies will shift dynamics and relationship connections already formed. There will also be an array of sexy, hilarious and dramatic dates firing up the passion, and an epic ditching at the Dumping Ground in every episode as Rylan says Laters to the Daters. For those who make it to the end of the experience, there will be a big cash prize up for grabs. With emotions laid bare and romances unbuttoned, will any of them succeed in their quest to find love?
