Since its launch in 2016, for better or worse, Naked Attraction has pushed the boundaries of nudity on television.
With contestants of all shapes and sizes standing in the colourful pods, the contestants show all different body types. With such a range of bodies on display, the female participants invariably start comparing boob sizes.
In an extensive casting process, potential participants go through the mill, getting naked for producers who have to dictate whether they have the personality for the show. And not everyone makes the cut.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, executive producer, Darrrell Olsen said: "Being naked on national TV is a huge deal for people. The point of getting naked during the audition is if you can’t do it in front of a couple production people, you’re going to have a really hard time on the actual show."
He continued: "Also, part of it is for people to be able to describe their own bodies and what they like and dislike about themselves. Also, for us to get a sense of their energy and if they can make jokes. So if they’re too reticent, they’re not right."
In a bid to keep their spirits up, Olsen blasts happy music to ensure the contestants go into the show in a positive mood. And by the looks of it, his efforts just about do enough to stop the participants from running for the hills.
He explained: "We try to create a party atmosphere [backstage]. We put on some music. The Picker hasn’t seen them, obviously, but the others have bonded a bit, and they’ll make comments [to each other] like, 'Wow, yours are huge compared to mine', or whatever."
After a long process, in which only the fittest survive, the lucky or unlucky few, depending on which way you look at it, get the opportunity to get their kit off on national television. And interestingly, the men and women act very differently on set.
The idea of standing with your genitalia out in front of the nation is a difficult idea to comprehend. Therefore, it's understandable as to why the contestants get nervous. And to cope with their insecurities, the male and female contestants utilise opposing coping mechanisms.
It goes without saying that the biggest concern for the blokes is the size of their manhood. Ultimately, the last thing they want is to come home to a dozen tweets about how small it looked. So bosses claim the men start doing whatever they can to increase the size.
Naked Attraction, while a pillar of Channel 4 late night telly, has just hit a US audience - and they seem to be loving the no-holds-barred show.
