A huge Channel 4 show has been axed after nine years on television following hundreds of Ofcom complaints. 

Naked Attraction first hit screens back in 2016 and shocked viewers with its controversial full-frontal nudity. 

Hosted by Anna Richardson, the dating show sees singletons hidden behind pods as parts of their body are gradually revealed to a potential partner, who judges them solely based on their anatomy and finally chooses one of them to go on a date with.

Despite spanning across 12 seasons, the unique Channel 4 show, which was described by the broadcaster to be a ‘daring dating series’, didn’t manage to captivate everyone.

It has received hundreds of Ofcom complaints since it first aired and presenter Anna has confirmed there are ‘no plans’ for further instalments, according to the Mirror.

She told the publication: ‘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 favourite show ever.’

Naked Attraction has received nearly 1,000 Ofcom complaints since it started, the Express reported.

Anna described it as ‘unconventional’ and explained how ‘at the heart of it, the show was all about facing stigma’.  

‘We faced stigma, bias and misconceptions – quite literally – face-on, which I loved, because it helped us to address real conversations that needed to be had in our communities,’ she added.

It comes after Anna said last year the show is ‘multigenerational, like Strictly’ and insisted that while some viewers may be cringing, there’s ‘nothing тιтillating’ about the contestants stripping off.

The TV favourite believed it should be shown in school as a representation of what normal bodies look like. 

‘Parents have said to me they put it on and watch with their 16-year-old sons because they want them to see what real women look like,’ she told The Sun. 

‘We know that we’ve got a big problem with pornography. It’s time that we kicked back against that and against violence towards women, and started showing that this is what ordinary people look like and what ordinary bodies look like.

‘That is the beauty of the show – there’s an educational element. I’d be on board with getting it shown in schools, there is nothing тιтillating about Naked Attraction.

‘There is nothing pornographic or Sєxual exciting – if anything, it’s like opening up a biology manual.’ 

Anna also spoke about if she would ever strip off and said she would if it were for a good cause. 

The presenter said she is learning to be accepting about her body as she ages and ‘draws the line’ at going under the knife’. 

‘I’m totally up for Botox and will mess about with a bit of filler, I’ve tried threads,’ she said.
