Inside Anna Richardson’s new Channel 4 show Naked Education dubbed ‘the next Embarrassing Bodies’
CHANNEL 4 is set to launch a brand new show entitled Naked Education to explore all aspects of the human body and it is being dubbed the 'next Embarrassing Bodies'.
Anna Richardson, host of the controversial dating show Naked Attraction, will be at the helm of the new series focusing on body positivity.
The programme hopes to shine a light on different body types and normalise and champion parts of the body which are often kept hidden away.
Anna will be joining forces with co-host Yinka Bokinni for the new series.
Speaking about coming on board with the show, Yinka said: “I’m really excited to be a part of Naked Education and to start this challenge.
“I think that we have a long way to go when it comes to our perception of a ‘regular body’, and as somebody who often felt like my body didn’t fit in, I’m incredibly proud to offer my voice in this amazing new show.”

Anna also admitted she was keen to get stuck into the show and explore a new side to presenting naked bodies on TV as opposed to just for dating.
The TV presenter said: “Body positivity is something we would all like, but for some people it’s a lot harder than it sounds. We will help people overcome their fears and take back control of their bodies.
“This series is going address sensitive subjects that other programmes shy away from – it will be powerful, emotional and eye opening. It’s going to pack a naked punch that will have the whole nation talking.”
A synopsis for the brand new Channel 4 offering reveals a more in-depth look at the series and what viewers of the programme can expect to see.

It begins: “The series will allow people to ask the questions that they have been too nervous to ask and give others the space to bare all as they confront their fears and address sensitive subjects.
"From mastectomy scars and penis size to the ageing body and skin conditions, no subject matter is too big or too small.
“Each episode will feature people from all ages who will be able to share their experiences.
"With the support of our resident GP and some life models, a group of teenagers, who have been bombarded by ‘perfect’ Instagram bodies and explicit content, will be able to discuss and challenge their own perceptions of what they think is normal or beautiful and get answers to questions they have been afraid to ask."
The show will also allow those with similar bodies and those who have gone through similar experiences to meet up and discuss the challenges that they have faced along the way.
It concludes: “The series will also feature candid conversations and naked exchanges between people who have undergone similar experiences and body transformations – such as reconstructive surgery and weight loss – and a group of naked body-positivity activists will travel the length and breadth of the country to spread their message and encourage people to join the ‘every body is beautiful’ brigade.”
Naked Education launches on Channel 4 from Tuesday, 4 April at 8PM.
