Naked Attraction’s Anna Richardson turned down major shows because she ‘knows too much’

EXCLUSIVE: Naked Attraction host Anna Richardson would avoid starring on certain big TV shows due to her experience of working both on and off screen in the telly world

Naked Attraction host Anna Richardson has seen too much of what going on behind-the-scenes of the telly world to want to take part in some of the UK’s biggest shows.

The star spoke exclusively to Daily Star about future career and future prospects on screen – and revealed what will definitely not be on the cards for her.

Anna, 54, said: “I do get asked to do I’m a Celeb and all that kind of thing, but I’m a real wuss. I can’t even camp in the UK, never mind in the jungle. The idea of eating grubs or testicles and having to camp out where there’s snakes and spiders. It’s just a no, I can’t even cope with Wales.”

But what about Celebrity Big Brother, which is set to kick off soon, we asked: “I don’t think being locked up in would be good, that’s just sort of COVID all over again, isn’t it? The idea of going into lockdown, but with a load of strangers you don’t know, would just tip me over the edge.

“Never say never. I’m open to a reality format, but I think it would have to be really good fun.”

The telly host further explained why she is put off the idea and added: “The thing about these shows is you’re pushing people to the very edge of their endurance for our entertainment.

“And sometimes I struggle with that, certainly as somebody that works in the mental health space as well, I can see the pitfalls of pushing people psychologically.

“I probably know too much, both as a presenter and also a Hypnotherapist. I’m a bit like, I know what’s going on here. So, maybe not the best idea for me.”

One project that she would like to take part in is a new series of Naked Attraction – but she is currently waiting to hear back from Channel 4 for the green light.

Anna explained: “We’re still waiting to hear from Channel 4, basically whether we’re gonna have a new series.

“I would love to have a new series of Naked Attraction. I think say it’s cult viewing. It’s really popular. I love it.

“I think that it would be great to sort of change the format up a little bit, to bring it on a little bit would be amazing.

“But, yeah, watch this space. Channel 4, come on, bring it back!”.
