In the eight years that Anna Richardson has been hosting Naked Attraction, she’s witnessed no shortage of show-stopping situations.
For the uninitiated, the reality game show starts with a clothed person who is given the choice of six naked people who are initially hidden in booths, but whose bodies and faces are gradually revealed through successive rounds, which eventually ends in the final two standing starkers before the final choice is made.
Hosting since its debut in 2016, Anna has had some interesting reactions at times seeing strangers strip off but has said there’s been some memorable moments that have stayed with her.
One of the most jaw-dropping that she can remember came from 57-year-old Jude from Nuneaton, a devout Christian.
After surviving breast cancer, Jude said she was keen to embrace life, and explained that God wanted her to find a man.
But when she decided her way of doing so was signing up to the boundary-pushing series, plenty of people were understandably shocked, including Anna herself.
‘Who can forget Jude, the choir-going Christian who played The Lord is my Shepherd on her Casio organ and then at the same time started licking cream off people’s genitals,’ she told Metro.co.uk when asked to single out some of her favourite ever contestants.
‘She sort of broke on the internet when she was on the show and she was amazing and stopped me in my tracks.’
During her appearance on the show in 2019, Jude told Anna she had ‘no inhibitions’ sexually and was searching for a man who was ‘about eight to 11 inches’.
Speaking about another contestant whose appearance stays with her, Anna pointed out a lady called Sarah, who was on the latest season which aired earlier this year.
First appearing in season 3 as David in 2018, Sarah had since transitioned, and explained she was looking for love as a proud pansexual trans woman.
As Anna explained, Sarah was a ‘very welcome guest’.
‘She’d been on the show two years prior as David, a father of two. That was quite a turnaround, to have somebody who has been on the show twice as two different genders, which was like wow,’ she said.
‘We live in such a wonderfully accepting world so that was a real showstopper for me.’
While getting naked on national television isn’t for the faint of heart, Anna also said there’s been several celebrities who have expressed an interest in signing up for the show.
‘I’ve met so many people who love the show and we are always pushing to do a celebrity version,’ she said.
‘I met Duncan James from Blue recently who said he would love to go on it.
‘I know that Scott Mills is a massive fan of the show and is always teasing to go on too.’
She added: ‘We are always looking for a celeb to go on. People, whether they love it or hate it, they are watching it. I think secretly they all love it.’
Naked Attraction is streaming on Channel 4.
