Rylan Clark launches raunchy new reality show Dating Naked – where clothes are NOT allowed
Rylan Clark is the face of a racy new reality show called Dating Naked, where clothing is not allowed.
The contestants are naked all day, but are compensated for this by living in a luxury Colombian villa that Rylan, 35, visits regularly.
The Paramount+ program, which will be in cinemas from August 23, is already being called ‘Love Island on steroids’.
Like Love Island, Dating Naked has a £50,000 prize fund, but unlike the popular ITV2 series, the season finale has already been filmed.
Contestant Lauren, a nail technician from Herts, told The Sun: ‘I’ve had sex on the show – a lot of us have. I mean, this show literally blows Love Island away. I think you get to know people better when you’re naked all the time. There’s no judgement.’

Billy, a builder from Essex, added: ‘Oh yeah, it’s getting hot in Colombia! I feel like everyone’s thinking, “What? Why is everyone naked?” at the beginning and then they get caught up in the drama in the second episode.’
Dan, a personal trainer from Woking, said: ‘I thought everyone would just want to approach someone, but for most people 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 get back to basics, on everything, not just clothes. It actually builds better relationships in friendships and romantically.’
Other contestants include Chrislove, a hairdresser from Las Vegas, Canadian party animal Dominik and an event planner named Mike, an ex of Chloe Ferry.
Paramount+ executives arranged for an intimacy coach to be on location, and because the cast felt safe, they quickly dropped all inhibitions.
Dating Naked began in the US, where it aired for three seasons before being canceled. A German version began airing in 2023.
Although the contestants were naked throughout both versions, VH1 made sure their genitals and breasts were pixelated.
There will be no pixelation or blurring in the UK version.
