Channel 4 dating show Naked Attraction has been given the all-clear to start filming a new series in spite of the ongoing coronavirus concerns.

The unusual format - hosted by Anna Richardson - sees a participant pick a date from six potential suitors based solely on the gradual reveal of their naked form.

The popular show has a no-holds-barred approach to full-frontal nudity and the discussion of male and female genitalia in graphic detail - and has already aired six series on Channel 4.

"Surprisingly Naked Attraction has a great COVID-19 format as standard," a source told The Sun. "Despite the fact contestants have to stand in a studio with no clothes on, they actually reveal themselves from behind disinfected glass pods which can be wiped down afterwards.

"Singletons who've been chosen can go on a socially distanced date if need be. Channel 4 has given the team the green light and new blood, as well as contestants who had already put their name forward, will be contacted to get the show made."

Filming on the new series is expected to begin within a matter of weeks for transmission on Channel 4 later this year.
