From a virgin passing out to a first date falling out, Channel 4's Naked Attraction is guaranteed to get people talking.
But if you're eager to know what goes on behind the scenes of telly's rudest show, then you're in luck... Because a former contestant has revealed all, including what it's like to show your privates to two million people.
From spending money to signing contracts about your pubic hair, it's fair to say there are a lot of secrets to be told...
Jimmy Ladgrove, 30, from Bristol, appeared on series two of Naked Attraction in 2017 and was keen to take part after watching the first series with a pal.
He is pansexual – won’t define who he fancies by gender – which he thinks made his application stand out.

“I think they liked that I would date anyone: man or woman, but didn’t define myself as bisexual, and also I’ve got a distinctive look,” he told Fabulous Digital.
Jimmy “had to sign a contract” saying he “wouldn’t shave” his foot-long beard, hairy chest and mane of pubes ahead of his TV appearance.
But he thinks his excess body hair put off a girl on the show.
“I was going to pick her but she looked horrified when she saw me,” he said.
“You can’t hide your body language and she obviously didn’t fancy me – I’m very slender and hairy. I don’t think she liked that.”
The daring reality dating series involves people being judged on their naked bodies, warts and all.
Despite his appearance, Jimmy doesn’t find body hair a turn-on.
“I’m not into beards on men and I don’t like pubes on anyone," he said.
"So when I was on Naked Attraction and confronted with a full bush I immediately said no.”
Jimmy found stripping off in front of the TV crew a struggle at first and said the audition process was “quite rigorous”.

He added: “I’m not that body confident and all these people were wandering around on telly, naked.
“But I found the series really inclusive. Channel 4 would pick anyone irrespective of body type and sexuality or race. There’s no airbrushing. It’s great – really positive.”
Jimmy picked “a couple of girls and boys”.
“There were some replacements because some people back out at the last minute,” he explained.
“There was a woman with a full bush, which I hate, and a huge penis winking at me – I don’t like big willies.”
Eventually, he chose to take the man on a date. And they went out the next day, followed by producers.
“We were given £50 to spend on drinks and got on well and kissed,” he said.
“It went really well, we had loads in common. We had a few dates but it fizzled out… he lived too far away.”
Jimmy jokes his beard can get in the way of intimacy. “It’s not very practical,” he said.
He’d recommend people go on Naked Attraction – having been spotted scores of times in the street following his star turn.
“I’ve no regrets,” he finished. “It’s lots of people's worst nightmare but I had a ball.”
Amongst some of the most memorable contestants on the show to date include randy churchgoer Judith, from Warwickshire, who left fellow parishioners when she appeared on the controversial show in 2019.
The 57-year-old treated her potential love interests to a rendition of the hymn The Lord Is My Shepherd, before offering them a cake she had baked ahead of her appearance.
Judith said: "I've not been lucky in love. Two years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was very scary. And now I'm ready to embrace life in full.
"Naked Attraction I need your help. Adam and Eve found love in the garden of Eden, and they were naked, so now it's my turn!"
Her date Doug, 51, ghosted her after six weeks of dating.
