People stripped off for kids in Naked Education – commissioned by Made in Chelsea Channel 4 editor

Guests who stripped naked in front of teenage children for a Channel 4 programme about ‘body positivity’ include a YouTuber who reviews sex toys and a woman who wrote and sang an explicit song about masturbation.

Channel 4’s Naked Education broadcast its first episode yesterday evening, leaving many viewers shocked to see a group of adults take off their clothes in front of children aged 14 to 16.

The show was commissioned by Clemency Green, senior commissioning editor for Channel 4 daytime and features, who looks after programmes including Made in Chelsea and Escape to the Chateau.

Celebrity presenters include Anna Richardson, former Love Island contestant Dr Alex George and Yinka Bokinni who are ‘on a mission to normalise all body types, champion our differences and break down stereotypes’.

Those who stripped fully nude in front of teenagers on the series include Bethany Burgoyne, who last year released a track titled The Masturbation Song, which includes explicit lyrics including ‘I use my fingers honey, I’ll make it nice and runny’.

The children were shown four naked adults as the presenters debunked common myths about body hair

Burgoyne was just 11 when she started shaving her body. However, aged 28 she decided to stop

Bethany was just 11 when she started shaving her body. However, aged 28 she decided to stop.

The 32-year-old from Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, went on Naked Attraction in August 2019.

When she was 29-years-old, Bethany discovered she had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) – a hormone imbalance that affects around one in every 10 women worldwide. 

The condition can cause abnormal hair growth but instead of worrying about the extra removal, Bethany began sharing her story online, under the handle @bxsassy, to show other women that it’s okay to be hairy.

Channel 4‘s Naked Education broadcast its first episode yesterday evening.

Many viewers were shocked to see a group of adults strip naked in front of children aged 14 to 16.

The show is promoted as being ‘all about body positivity’ with celebrity presenters Anna Richardson, former Love Island contestant Dr Alex George and Yinka Bokinni ‘on a mission to normalise all body types, champion our differences and break down stereotypes’.

The programme shows what different bodies look like to help quell people’s insecurities, but some viewers took to social media to express their disgust at adults stripping naked in front of children as part of this quest.

Twitter user Lisa Hursey said: ‘They get naked in front of kids. Why oh why is this being allowed?’

Another viewer said: ‘Showing children under 16 strangers standing fully naked in front of them. Why? Absolutely not. They do not need to see strangers fully naked to be educated on the body.’ 

A third said it was ‘tacky TV’, while another wrote: ‘Oh give me a f***ing break. Is it really necessary for a group of adults to be getting their kn*** and fannys (sic) out in front of kids in the name of ”education”? It’s gutter TV.’

Other viewers defended the programme and said it was ’empowering and positive’

Betty TV, which makes the programme, also made The Undateables.

Presenter Anna Richardson, 52, who also fronts Channel 4’s Naked Attraction dating show said the show was ‘educational, emotional [and] joyous’. 

She added: ‘If you’re curious about your body, and your life’s journey (whatever that may be), then tune in. We all need connection right now.’

She told The Sun’s TV Mag: ‘Naked Education is one step further than Naked Attraction.

‘I like to make shows that are controversial, that break taboos and that make a difference, and with every single show that I’ve done you can tick one of those boxes.’

‘Naked Education is a body positive, educational series that is basically aiming to normalise all body types and champion everybody’s differences, so that we can accept that with our clothes off we’re all normal.’

Dr Alex George took to Instagram to tell his followers: ‘I’m so, so excited. It’ll really help people. I think you’ll find it a powerful watch.’

Other viewers were more positive about the show and praised it on social media. 

Carl Malkin said to one critics: ‘Kids who grow up knowing the human body is a work of art and nudity is natural are clearly far better adjusted than you.’

Another viewer said: ‘What an awesome idea. Only in Britain would they show fully naked people on TV at 8pm, but I love that!! Seems like a very empowering and positive show about tackling insecurities.’ 

Clemency Green, a Senior Commissioning Editor at Channel 4, said: ‘Celebrity culture, social media and filtered and edited photos have all impacted on our body image. 

‘This is a hugely important series which will show the diversity in normal bodies and how they inevitably change due to things like age, weight gain or loss, illness or accidents. 

‘This celebratory show will inform audiences, break taboos and normalise bodies of all shapes and sizes.’

A Channel 4 spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘All the teenagers who participated in Naked Education did so with appropriate consent. 

‘They and their guardians were fully aware and prepared to take part in the item about body taboos and they all had support throughout.’
