Naked Education elderly contestant defends stripping nude in front of kids – insisting ‘I look better now!’

A NAKED Education elderly contestant has defended stripping nude in front of kids - insisting 'I look better now than when I was young!'

The Channel 4 programme focuses on body positivity and includes a segment where teens aged 14 to 17 are shown 'real people's bodies' to help encourage healthy attitudes.

During the latest episode - which aired on April 25 - Jane Buckle was one of five people who took part in a discussion about ageing.

The five older people were asked to discuss how their bodies have changed over the years, holding pictures of themselves in their younger days as they opened up to the teens before disrobing.

Speaking about her reasons for taking part after the episode aired, Jane wrote on Twitter: "#realitytvstar on #nakededucation tonight #channel4 8pm we have all been dbs checked the programme is educational and shows that all people are beautiful even though they may have imperfections and everything is acceptable."

On the programme, Tyrone, 15 said: "I was expecting saggy, droopy bodies but they still had a lot of life in them."

Millie, 16, added: "When they dropped their robes I thought they didn't look how I thought they would look like. They looked like they kept their shape."

Jane replied: "I think I look better now than when I was 15."

The teens were then asked for their thoughts on older people and sex.

Amelia, 14, said: "They all still have a sex drive. They may be a little more fragile but if you put your mind to it you can still do what you could when you were younger.

"It was very helpful the advice that they gave us. There's nothing to be scared of with ageing. It's just part of life."

Harvey, 17 added: "My thoughts have changed after today."

Naked Education airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
