Naked Attraction Host Anna Richardson Addresses Show’s Cancellation
In a surprising turn of events, Channel 4 has decided to shelve its controversial dating show Naked Attraction after an impressive 12 series, amid a flurry of complaints to Ofcom. Host Anna Richardson recently disclosed that there are currently no plans for the show to make a comeback.
Having graced our screens since 2016, Naked Attraction gained notoriety for its unique and bold premise, where single individuals would literally bare all in the pursuit of love. Each episode featured one hopeful surrounded by six potential matches, all of whom stood in colorful boxes without any clothing. As the show progressed, the hopeful would eliminate contestants until only two remained, at which point they too would strip down.
However, after a year off the air, it seems that Naked Attraction has been permanently retired by Channel 4. Anna Richardson, 54, expressed her disappointment, stating, “Unfortunately not, that’s down to Channel 4 and the team at Studio Lambert. But I too am desperate for this to come back – it’s my favorite show ever.” She further encouraged fans, saying, “I think we should all petition Channel 4 to get the next season out there as soon as possible.”
The twelfth series of Naked Attraction aired last spring, and all previous seasons are currently available for streaming online. In a related note, Anna had previously mentioned to The Sun that there were discussions underway for a live theatrical version of the show, which she described as “amazing.”
