One Naked Attraction contestant has revealed the one thing stars are banned from mentioning on the Channel 4 show – as he admits singletons are “set up to fail”.
Hezron Stephenson appeared on the 2022 series of the programme, looking for love by choosing from six naked men standing in boxes, before stripping off himself at the show’s finale.
For a show with a premise based on sexual chemistry and raw attraction, fans might be under the impression that nothing is off the table – but that’s far from the truth.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Hezron revealed that contestants are completely banned from talking negatively about body image.
He explained: “TV is very biased. They always ask you what you want and they never give you what you ask for.

“[Bosses] said, ‘What’s your type?’ and I said, ‘Big, bold, burly and preferably Irish’. I go short, stocky, full of make-up and Botox. The whole nine yards, basically.”
He continued: “When you’re picking – obviously there were people I wanted to get rid of first, but they said we couldn’t for body image reasons, so you had to pick different reasons why you wanted to get rid of somebody.
“You couldn’t say, ‘Oh he’s too large’, but you could say, ‘Oh I don’t like him because he’s got hair on his chest and I don’t like hairy chests.’

“You’re lying to yourself – you love a hairy chest!” he added.
Hezron explained that the process “sets you up to fail”, explaining: “You end up getting rid of people you don’t want to get rid of and keeping people you don’t want to keep.”
Another odd moment came due to procedures in place to combat Covid-19 – and he wasn’t allowed to speak to his chosen man until after a negative test.
He said: “Because it was Covid, I’d literally just seen this geezer naked and we’d spent the whole time together, but I wasn’t allowed to speak to him until I did a Covid test, which was weird.
“You’re all kept in very separate rooms – I didn’t meet Anna until I walked out there and said hello.”
Hezron also confessed there are no procedures in place to stop contestants getting aroused – admitting he was left red-faced by a semi while naked on the programme.
