Naked Attraction couple fall in love on the show… and have been together ever since
Gemma, 24, selected 27-year-old joiner James on the show, after checking him out in the buff from a line-up
THEY say love is blind, but the opposite is true for Naked Attraction’s Gemma and James who fall head over heels on this week’s show after meeting each other completely in the nude.
Mum-of-two Gemma, 24, who works as a beauty therapist, went on the Channel 4 show looking for a “man not a love rat”.
She revealed to host Anna Richardson: “I’m still single, my taste in men is horrendous.
“I dated a gay guy, cheaters and last boyfriend immigrated to Australia. I need someone to enjoy my family with.”
Gemma bravely faced the six coloured pods on the show, each containing a naked man with an attribute that she is attracted to.
At first, the bottom half of the body is revealed, from the feet to above the genital area, exposing the six different penises.
Initially she was drawn to the orange pod, with host saying that it had a “lot of girth”, although the extra skin around the balls was slightly off-putting.
Looking at the testicles on the man in the red pod, Gemma exclaimed: “Healthy”.
When it came to the bums, the blue pod man, who was later revealed as James, took her fancy due to being “peachy” and not having too much hair.
At this stage she eliminated yellow, who was revealed to be Mark, 28, an admin assistant from Stoke, based on him having thin legs.
Enlisting the help of gay best friend Jamie, Gemma got to see more of the men as their middle sections were revealed.
Jamie chose the man in the orange pod for Gemma, based on him having a “dad bod” that looked mature enough to look after her.
When the faces were exposed for the first time, Gemma was immediately drawn to James, thanks to his “cheeky smile” and for looking like a “bubbly guy who you could have a good conversation with.”
In the final round, Gemma had whittled it down to 27-year-old joiner James and Josh, a 22-year-old musician – and it was then time for them to see her with her kit off.
James beamed when he saw Gemma in the buff saying: “wow, lovely bum”.
When the big moment came, she selected James, based on him looking like a “right laugh”.
James was overjoyed to be chosen saying: “I hope she likes me, she’s stunning.”
And even with clothes on during their date, Gemma and James hit it off from the get-go and even shared a cheeky kiss at the end.
Six weeks on, the lovebirds were still going strong and revealed they had booked to go on two-week holiday together.
James said: “You are amazing, nice person, got a great personality and are beautiful.”
Breaking down in tears, Gemma confessed: “I’m smitten. I’m really happy with you being around.
“Someone to text. Someone to talk to. Someone to ask if I’m ok. I think I’m just overwhelmed.
“I don’t normally tell people how I feel.”
James gushed: “I am crazy about her.”
