Married At First Sight UK star to strip off in controversial dating show
Dating Naked UK returns to screens this month A controversial Married At First Sight star is set to take off his clothes and bare it all as Dating Naked UK returns to screens. Luke Worley has signed up for the new series of Dating Naked UK, meaning he will be completely naked in an attempt to find love. The popular dating show starts on 29th August on Paramount+ with brand new singletons going completely nude in a luxury villa. When their antics are broadcast, there's no pixilation or censorship. Luke first hit the headlines on Married At First Sight in 2023 when he joined the show in search of love but was axed by producers following a spat with a co-star. This led to him being targeted by online trolls. However, Luke joined Dating Naked UK hoping to put the past behind him and finally find his perfect match, reports the Daily Star. A spokesperson for the show said: "Luke has always found it difficult to make meaningful connections. Despite his attempts and outgoing personality, he has always struggled to find love." Luke also hopes to champion body positivity through his appearance on the show. 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." They went on to say: "But feels strongly about representing the 'normal' men out there who don't fit the stereotypical mould of the perfect body." Host Rylan Clark has promised that the series will be a television spectacle, hinting at some unexpected comebacks. He stated: "This year we're taking it up a notch, working even harder to help our brilliant cast find their perfect match and battle it out for a £50,000 prize pot. "I can't wait for you to meet our brand new daters, and maybe a familiar face or two." Earlier this year, Rylan revealed to the Daily Star Sunday: "What we've got lined up is going to be brilliant. There will be lots of twists and turns." The show has relocated to a new spot in Panama. An insider from the show shared: "It's all change for the new series. The team found an amazing villa in Panama that looks great on camera. "It's even more luxurious than the old place. They reckon it will make the new series even steamier because it's such a lovely location. Panama is just stunning." Dating Naked premieres Friday, 29th August on Paramount+

Controversial Married At First Sight UK star is set to GO NAKED on raunchy TV dating show in shock career move
A controversial Married At First Sight star is set to go fully naked on a very raunchy dating TV show. 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.'
