Dating Naked UK line-up in full
Do you really need clothes to find true love? Paramount+ aims to answer that question once and for all with its new reality romance series Dating Naked UK.
Doing pretty much exactly what its title suggests, Dating Naked UK plonks a group of love-lacking singletons on a sunkissed paradise island and invites them to try to find a deep emotional connection… without the help of clothes.
The show marks the UK debut of a format that has already proven popular in places like the US and Germany. With shows like Naked Attraction already proving a hit with viewers by ditching threads in its search for true love, it looks like Dating Naked UK could be ready to find similar success.
Read on for everything we know about this fabric-phobic dating series…
How can I watch Dating Naked UK?
Dating Naked UK will land on Paramount+ on Friday, 23 August, with two new episodes dropping every Friday. There will be 10 episodes in the show’s first season, with each featuring an hour of pantsless flirting.
Who is hosting Dating Naked UK?
Rylan will host the UK edition of Dating Naked UK, adding the show to his growing resume of presenting gigs which already spans the likes of This Morning, Supermarket Sweep and various BBC Radio 2 shows.
Speaking of his excitement about fronting Dating Naked UK, Rylan said: “It is no secret that I love a reality TV show, but this one is going to blow your minds. Not only does it feature dating and drama, on top of that everyone will be totally starkers!
“You will not want to miss this — I can’t wait for you all to see.”
What happens on Dating Naked UK?
In Dating Naked UK, a group of single people are whisked away to a luxury tropical island where they’ll get the chance to meet some new faces in the hope that romance will blossom.
They won’t have much packing to do though, as each Dating Naked UK contestant will spend the entire dating process completely naked. Hopefully, they’ve stocked up on sun tan lotion.
“Fed up of the dating game and ditching the complications and constraints of the modern world, these singles will be stripping right back to basics and baring all, in the name of finding love,” says Paramount+ of their new dating show.
“With an abundance of drama, desire and dates, this brand-new series brings together a host of larger-than-life personalities all with one thing in common — they are living in a tropical paradise, stark naked 24/7.”
Presented bare and unblurred, players will have their sparks ruffled when “naked newbies” arrive to shift the dynamics of the show’s burgeoning relationships. They’ll also have to endure a few “sexy, hilarious and dramatic” dates and survive the dreaded Dumping Ground where Rylan says goodbye to unlucky daters at the end of each episode.
Those who make it to the end of the show with their hearts and dignity intact will walk away with a big cash prize and with any luck a new person to share their lives with — or at the very least, their Insta grid for a brief few weeks.
