Naked Attraction 'offering five-figure sum' to celebrity to strip off in major show shake-up

Channel 4 dating show Naked Attraction is looking to shake up the programmes format by adding a famous face into the mix to bare all.

And the celeb who steps up to the task could land themselves a princely 'five figure sum' for their birthday suit appearance.

The show presented by Anna Richardson, sees nothing left unseen in a bold bid to find their future love interest.

Plucky singletons are given five people to choose from - except they judge them on their naked bodies from the bottom up.

A source told The Sun: "Show bosses are determined to get a famous person to don their birthday suit for the next run, and they're prepared to offer big money to land someone - we're talking a high five-figure sum."

But despite the lure of the cash the show's producers have their "work cut out" to secure a celebrity willing to appear in the buff.

And the show has already shelved plans for a one-off celebrity spin-off programme due to difficulties attracting celebs so instead is hoping for landing a reality star to appear solo alongside other contestants.

The source added: "Bosses know that they have their work cut out and it's going to be a struggle as many celebs are too worried it would harm their career, but they're hoping that by throwing some serious cash at it, this time they will make it happen," they added

Viewers have already had a taste of a celeb contestant as former Big Brother star Lauren Harries appeared on the show.

But tempers flared as Lauren failed to flicker contestant Rigby's love interest and she stormed off the set.

Host Anna Richardson had invited Rigby to hug Lauren after the rejection, with the former Celebrity Big Brother star snapping: "No. Stay away.

"You could have had the goods but you are not having them now.

"You're not going to get my backside now."

Lauren, who found fame as a child for her antiques knowledge, later appeared on TV and has been vocal about trans rights after herself undergoing sexual reassignment surgery in 2001.

Meanwhile fans of the show took to social media last week after a contestant who looked the double of Kerry Katona appeared on the show.

The episode which aired aired on September 30th saw contestant Jack looking to find a partner to choose from the six naked participants.

But the naked guest stood inside the blue box looked a bit like Atomic Kitten alum Kerry, 42.

One of them wrote in a post on Twitter during the episode of the Channel 4 show: "Blue looks like Kerry Katona".

Similarly, another viewer asked their followers on the platform in the middle of the latest episode: "Anyone else seeing a bit of Kerry Katona in blue [box]?"

Their tweet however prompted a simple "no" from another viewer. This sentiment has subsequently been shared by others on Facebook after seeing the comparison.

The new series of Naked Attraction continues on Channel 4 next Thursday (October 6) from 10pm. You can catch up on previous episodes through streaming service All4 now.
