"The casting team were already in place to start on Naked Attraction and were all told they were no longer needed as they were not making another series."
However, a Channel 4 spokesperson told The Sun: “Naked Attraction has not been decommissioned and a new series will return to Channel 4 next year.
"Scared of the Dark enjoyed a celebrated first season with excellent linear and streaming performance.
