Controversial Married At First Sight UK star is set to GO NAKED on raunchy TV dating show in shock career move
Luke Worley, who was axed from the Channel 4 show after an altercation with a co-star, will bare it all on-screen as he signed up for Paramount+ show Dating Naked UK.
The Tezlo founder, 32, shocked fans after making the announcement on his Instagram page, with the eagerly-anticipated steamy series to kick off on 29 August.
In his latest post, Luke posed completely naked as he held a blue sphere in front of his privates, with the ironic caption: 'I probably just needed a hug….but i stripped off instead
'Dating Naked streams exclusively on @paramountplusuk from Friday 29th August, with two episodes dropping every week.'
The spicy dating programme will be hosted by Rylan Clark, presenting a new challenge for Luke, who will join the naked-only villa.
Singletons will get to know each other while the show won't be censoring or pixellating any of the scenes.
The Essex-born entrepreneur previously shot to stardom on Married At First Sight in 2023 but was eventually kicked out due to a bust-up with co-star Jordan Gayle.
'Luke has always found it difficult to make meaningful connections. Despite his attempts and outgoing personality, he has always struggled to find love,' a show spokesperson said, Daily Star reports.
The publication also claimed Luke aims for his new stint to be a fresh start after receiving significant death treats following the MAFS controversy.
In a bid to vocalise for body positivity, the spokesperson added: 'Luke feels like he's already bared all when it comes to being vulnerable on TV having previously appeared on Married At First Sight, but feels strongly about representing the 'normal' men out there who don't fit the stereotypical mould of the perfect body.'
Presenter Rylan, 36, defended his new show after critics branded it 'disgraceful' when it was first released on Paramount+ last year.
The English host said at the time that the show is doing what it is meant to do and that's showing 'dating, but laid bare.'
He said it's like 'Love Island without the bikinis' and jibed that the 'duty of care is like no other show.'
The last series featured 10 singles seeking romance while naked in a tropical setting.
Contestants face challenges as new arrivals join, disrupting existing relationships.
Rylan said: 'It is Love Island without the bikinis, that's pretty much what it is, you see everything, there's no strategic placement of the cameras.'

How to dress like the 1% for summer 2025: style notes from Kate Moss, Dua Lipa (and Elizabeth Taylor)
Do: Opt for IYKYK (if you know, you know) labels that the high-society Ibiza set will compliment you on, rather than double down on gauche luxury ones. The best place to start for that is the Annie's Ibiza Old Town boutique, founded by Annie Doble in 2018. It plays host to the hottest designs beloved by Kate Moss, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne, Sienna Miller (name an It girl, they likely love Annie's).

‘Fixated' man who stalked Anna Friel for three years bailed ahead of sentencing
A man who was 'fixated' with actress Anna Friel and stalked her for nearly three years has been ordered by a judge not to contact her ahead of his sentencing next month. Phil Appleton, 71, sent numerous messages, visited the actress's home address on several occasions and left 'unwanted' gifts between January 1 2022 and December 11 2024, Reading Crown Court previously heard. Appleton, of Windsor in Berkshire, pleaded guilty to a stalking offence under Section 2A of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 earlier this week. He was due to be sentenced on Thursday but judge Alan Blake adjourned the hearing until September 18 for a pre-sentence report to be carried out. The court heard that a psychiatrist had diagnosed Appleton with bipolar disorder and erotomania, where a person believes that someone else is in love with them. The psychiatrist said that Appleton had a 'fixation' with Friel and was trying to determine whether this was still the case, the court heard. The defendant, who the court heard has been in custody for six months and has spent time in a mental health facility, was granted conditional bail. Appleton must not contact Friel or enter the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, and is to co-operate with those conducting the pre-sentence report. A website under his name appears to suggest that he is an actor and retired pilot. Friel, 49, rose to fame with her role as Beth Jordache in Channel 4 soap opera Brookside. She achieved international renown in 2007 starring as Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles in ABC comedy series Pushing Daisies. In 2017, she won the International Emmy for Best Actress for her role as the title character in the ITV and Netflix mystery drama series Marcella.
