Naked Attraction is doing a celebrity special – but there’s one problem

Producers have asked the likes of Jamie Laing and Joey Essex to take part.

The wrong kind of exposure?

If there’s one reality TV show we want to see this year, it’s a celebrity version of Naked Attraction.

The Channel 4 series sees a bachelor or bachelorette presented with six potential partners.

The six contestants, who are naked (obvs), stand behind frosted glass and are slowly revealed from the feet up as the bachelor or bachelorette whittles them down to one before stripping off their own clothes.

It’s a bonkers watch most of the time and there’s now a celebrity special of the show in the works for Stand Up To Cancer.

Producers want to sign up some well-known faces to get undressed on national TV in the name of charity but are reportedly having trouble getting anyone on board.

They’ve asked celebs from the world of soap and TV to reality TV, including stars from Love Island, Ex On The Beach, TOWIE, Made In Chelsea and Geordie Shore, reports The Sun, but there hasn’t been much interest.

Top of the producers wish-lists for the special are Made In Chelsea‘s Jamie Laing and Joey Essex and Lauren Pope of TOWIE fame.

“The celebrity one-off show would be a ratings hit, with massive viewing figures,” a production staff member told the publication.

“But producers are having a nightmare in trying to sign up the usual reality star suspects because no-one is prepared to to strip naked on telly.”

They’re up for doing something for the cause but won’t go as far as to expose themselves on telly, the source added.

“Once you’ve stripped off on telly there’s no going back and it’s out there forever. Some of them have politely declined and others have just ignored producers’ messages.”

With producers looking to film the special in May, we have our fingers, toes and everything else crossed that they manage to book someone to take part.
