Naked Attraction contestant Steven Barrett has confessed he once went on a date with a famous singer.
However, the TV star was too nervous to share his real career, after raking it in online from flogging X-rated photos.
Steven, now 50, said he used to date Dancing On My Own singer Calum Scott, 34, back in 2021.

Talking exclusively to the Daily Star, Steven said: “I have only been on one date in ten years as I stopped dating after I split with my ex-fiancé.
“No one really caught my eye and I went off men for a while.
“Then this guy sent me a message on Instagram which when I checked was Calum Scott. I wasn’t too sure who he was but I was intrigued.”

Steven then revealed the pair chatting online for a few months before taking their connection into the real world for his first proper date in a decade.
He continued: “We chatted for a few months he seemed so nice and normal, not up to himself, which is something I love in a person.
“We met up for a date whilst he was down in London. It was actually so nice, going for a meal and a drink, something I hadn’t done for years, it really was well overdue.”
Steven then confessed he feared being recognised for stripping off on screen or for his racy work.

The TV star added: “I remember a girl in the restaurant came over whilst he was in the toilet and said ‘Is that Calum Scott you’re with?’
“I laughed it off but I was more worried I was going to get recognized for being on Naked Attraction or because of the adult work on OnlyFans I do.
“Calum knew nothing about that side, and on the date, I kept referring to myself as “just a builder”.

“I was embarrassed to say to someone that I do adult work when they do a job on the other end of the scale. It was something I wasn’t ready to do.
“The date went well and we did get on, we still keep in touch as friends.
“Though his singing career has catapulted him into a 24/7 job that doesn’t give him much free time, as friends, he’s such an honest and very down-to-earth guy.”
