I’ve been called a paedophile for hosting Channel 4’s Naked Education, says Anna Richardson

NAKED Education's Anna Richardson has revealed she's been called a paedophile for hosting the show.

The Channel 4 presenter fronted the controversial series earlier this year that even sparked Ofcom complaints.

It's aimed at "celebrating diversity and body positivity" with Yinka Bokinni and Dr Alex George also appearing.

The programme shone a light on different body types and normalise and champion parts of the body which are often kept hidden away.

But off air Anna, 52, has revealed she's been branded a paedophile for hosting the show.

She said to Kate Thornton: "There's a sort of extremity within our society at the moment, and abuse.

"Our production team: myself, Yinka, Alex, have all received online abuse. I have never had that before in my life."

She continued to tell The White Wine Question Time podcast: "We have been called paedophiles, there's been calls for our arrest.

"I've never experienced such extreme abuse really in the whole 30 years that I've been broadcasting and working in television. It's extraordinary."

In one episode of Naked Education, teenagers were exposed to naked bodies which sparked fury among viewers.

The episode in question saw a discussion on the topic of male bodies - with the teenage boys being asked about the average size of a man's penis.

During the segment Dr Alex and Yinka asked four models in front of the adolescents to de-robe.

The men then revealed their naked bodies to the stunned group.

White Wine Question Time is available to listen to on all podcast platforms.
