At this point, Naked Attraction has a reputation which precedes it.
But if you’re unfamiliar with this one-of-a-kind TV dating game series that's coming back for its 10th season, the first thing you should know is that it isn’t exactly a subtle show, reports The Manc.
Ever considered getting your kit off on national television?
If you were brave enough to answer 'yes' to that, then there's a brand new series of the hit Channel 4 show Naked Attraction set to hit screens later this year and producers are looking for singles to bare all in the name of love.
"Do you fancy testing the power of Naked Attraction?" the show asks.
"In this daring dating series, potential couples are able to see each other in their naked glory from the very off, and producers Studio Lambert are looking for adventurous singletons to take part in a new series - are you up for... naked dating?"
That's because it's a programme where a fully-clothed person faces six naked people - who are initially hidden in booths - and watches as parts of their bodies and faces are gradually revealed through successive rounds, from the feet up.
The picker will whittle down a group of six potential suitors, based solely on the power of naked attraction, and eliminate a person in each round based on what they find least likeable.
At the end, they must pick the naked body they like best to go on a "fully-clothed" date with.

Studio Lambert North and Channel 4 are currently casting for the new series, with the show's producers adding: "We’re looking for brave singletons to bare all in a quest to find love.
"There is no limit on gender, sexuality, or body type, and we pride ourselves on being an inclusive show [so] as long as applicants are over 18 years old and are single, we’d love to hear from them."
Fancy stripping down in the name of love, then? You can apply for the next series of Naked Attraction here.

Pioneering Bradford artist David Hockney has passed away aged 88
David Hockney, one of Britain's most influential and recognisable artists, has sadly died.
Born in Bradford in 1937, David Hockney built a career spanning more than six decades and became one of the most influential figures in contemporary art.
He was best known for his vibrant paintings, from the iconic swimming pools of Los Angeles to the sweeping landscapes of Yorkshire and Normandy.
And of course you can't forget the adorable paintings of his sausage dogs Stanley and Boodgie.
This morning on Friday 12 June, it was sadly announced that David Hockney had passed away - just one month prior of his 89th birthday.
Admired by critics and the public alike, Hockney's work was exhibited around the world and attracted record-breaking prices, cementing his place as one of the defining artists of the modern era.
Most recently, his incredibly immersive exhibition 'Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)' was a hit across the country, proving his work still resonated with the people of today.
His work at Salts Mill has remained in exhibit for years, including his special digital drawings that he did on his iPad.
His death marks the end of a truly extraordinary career, but his influence on British culture and contemporary art will endure for years to come.
A true West Yorkshire icon that will be missed by many from across the globe. RIP David.

The sun has arrived in Wakefield… and we’re not just referring to that one that’s popped up in the sky at long last (sort of).
We’re taking about Helios, the amazing art installation that’s about to stop off at Wakefield Exchange as it tours around the UK.
Created by renowned artist, Luke Jerram, the beautiful art piece measures a whopping seven-metres in diameter and has been created using images captured by NASA.

Helios builds on the success of Luke Jerram’s previous installations in Wakefield, including the hugely popular Museum of the Moon.
With its striking scale and rich scientific detail,the artwork provides a safe and captivating way to encounter the Sun up close, highlighting everything from solar flares to the phenomena that created the unforgettable Northern Lights visible across the UK in 2024.
Stepping beneath the breathtaking glowing sculpture, audiences can experience an atmospheric fusion of solar imagery, sunlight and a specially commissioned surround‑sound composition that brings the science and mystery of our nearest star vividly to life.
Alongside the striking sun instillation, Wakefield Exchange will present a full programme of free, family‑friendly, space‑themed activities throughout the summer.
Visitors can enjoy hands‑on workshops, creative crafts, dressing‑up sessions and playful drop‑in experiences.
