Anna Richardson says mums watch Naked Attraction with their 16-year-old sons and thinks it should be shown in schools: ‘There’s nothing titillating about it!’
Anna Richardson has said that mothers watch Naked Attraction with their 16-year-old sons.
The presenter, 53, leads the dating show in which singletons strip naked in successive rounds for a chance to win a date with the contestant.
Anna said the show is “multigenerational, like Strictly” and says that while some viewers may cringe, there is “nothing titillating” about the contestants stripping off.
The TV favorite believes it should be shown at school as a representation of what normal bodies look like.
“Parents have told me they put it on and watch it with their 16-year-old sons because they want them to see what real women look like,” she said The sun.

“We know we have a big problem with pornography. It’s time we stand up against that and violence against women, and start showing what ordinary people look like and what ordinary bodies look like.
‘That’s the great thing about the show: there’s an educational element to it. I would be in favor of showing it in schools, there is nothing exciting about Naked Attraction. There is nothing pornographic or sexually arousing. It’s like opening a biology manual.’
Anna also opened up about whether she would ever undress, saying she would if it was for a good cause.
The presenter said she is learning to accept her body as she gets older and ‘draws the line at going under the knife’.
“I’m all up for Botox and will be messing around with a bit of filler, I’ve tried threads,” she said.
It comes after Anna revealed she has ‘amazing sex like she was in her 20s’ with her boyfriend Simon Marks.
The presenter previously said that menopause affected her love life, but now she understands her body a little better.
“There’s something wonderful about meeting someone new that makes you realize, ‘Oh, I’m not dead from the waist down!'” Anna revealed to the Daily mirror.

Anna split from former Bake Off presenter Sue Perkins at Christmas 2020, but their split only came to light in late 2021
‘Actually, I can have great sex, just like I did when I was in my twenties. It is possible to recapture it, but it will take effort.”
Anna said sex could be difficult in the past due to vaginal dryness, as she stressed the importance of breaking the ‘taboo’ of talking about sex during the menopause.
She said: ‘I have experienced some vaginal dryness and it has made sex difficult at times.’ ‘It’s something I talk about with my friends. We all say, “God, are you a little dry?” and “Do you have a bladder infection?”
The presenter added that now that she has gone through menopause, she feels like she has entered a new phase of “freedom, self-knowledge, purpose and a life that no longer worries about your fertility.”
Anna split from former Bake Off presenter Sue Perkins at Christmas 2020, but their split only came to light at the end of 2021.
The couple had been dating since 2013. Anna previously had an 18-year relationship with film director Charles Martin.
Anna was photographed in October 2022 with her boyfriend Simon, who works for the Promise Foundation, which guides young people.
