Rylan Clark is the face of a raunchy new reality show named Dating Naked – where clothes are not allowed.
Contestants will spend all hours of the day nude, but will be compensated by living in a luxury Colombian villa which Rylan, 35, will frequently visit.
The Paramount+ programme, which will hit screens on August 23, has already been dubbed ‘Love Island on steroids’.
Like Love Island, Dating Naked has a prize of £50,000, but unlike the hit ITV2 show, the series finale has already been filmed.
Contestant Lauren, a nail technician from Herts, told The Sun: ‘I did have sex on the show — a lot of us did. I mean, this show literally blows the socks off Love Island. I think you get to know people better being naked all the time. There’s no judgement.’

Billy, a builder from Essex, added: ‘Oh yeah it gets hot in Colombia! I feel like at first everyone’s going to be like: “What? Why is everyone naked?” And then by the second episode they’ll get involved in the drama.”
Dan, a personal trainer from Woking, said: ‘I thought everyone would just want to jump on people but for most there was a real bond. There was a lot of sex in the villa but it wasn’t casual, there were feelings involved.’

Social media executive Emily from Stockport added: ‘It shows what can happen when you strip back to basics, on everything, not just clothes. It actually builds better connections in friendships as well as romantically.”
Other contestants include Chrislove, a hairdresser from Las Vegas, Canadian party girl Dominik, and an event planner called Mike – an ex of Chloe Ferry.
Paramount+ bosses ensured there was an on-site intimacy coach and, feeling safe, the cast swiftly shed all inhibitions.
Dating Naked began life in the US where it aired three series before being cancelled. A German version began in 2023.
While the contestants were nude throughout in both versions, VH1 ensured their genitals and breasts were pixelated.
German contestants were shown in all their glory, and fans will have to wait and see what route Paramount+ takes.
