Anna Richardson is pretty unshockable after filming 12 collection of Naked Attraction.
We expect the working day has been fairly wild once we add an additional shot of coffee to our vanilla latte, but for Anna, her 9-5 consists of seeing members of the public stand of their birthday suits.
Since 2016, her Channel 4 collection has been getting singletons to decide on a associate based mostly on their body. The 'picker' is given a selection of six naked people who are hidden in cubicles. Initially, they are eye-to-genitalia, before their higher half and faces are revealed. After a lot of observing physique elements, it's whittled down to at least one one that wins a date.
Whereas a lot penis and vagina chat might have a number of of us commonly stifling laughter, it takes rather a lot to interrupt Anna but even she has limits and one episode in collection eight proved too much of a problem.
Wrestler and IT advisor Jet Trend, real identify Iain, was the individual to offer Anna a critical case of the giggles when he revealed he'd sent a Moonpig card to a sexual associate to apologise for slipping out of her vagina during vigorous intercourse, which caused a tear.
'I lost it,' Anna recalled to Metro.co.uk. 'We actually needed to stop filming. I needed to take a break.'
Often, Anna, 53, is far more composed and she or he credit her capacity to host the show with such decorum to rising up in a vicarage. Her father was a vicar in the village of Great Brington in Northamptonshire, and this meant they have been recurrently visited by 'all of mankind', which outfitted her with lifelong expertise.
'I had individuals in my home 24/7. Everyone from the Bishop to the homeless. I learnt from a younger age easy methods to communicate with anybody including those who have been weak.
'I've all the time been genuinely desirous about individuals's tales and I would like them to be okay,' Anna continued.
Her empathetic nature means she was impressed to coach as a cognitive hypnotherapist, and she or he is contemplating opening her own practise sooner or later. For now, she uses the skillset to personally guarantee whoever comes on the TV present has nothing however constructive things to say.
'The making of TV can typically be fairly brutal so I've all the time been very careful about eager to be sure that individuals have nearly as good an expertise as potential.
'The Bare Attraction contestants are all the time in full management. If they need to stop, we cease.'
Her spiritual upbringing also led Anna down a path of eager to take away any disgrace round sex and nakedness, something she has devoted her career to doing.
'I'm the one daughter that got here out of my household and I felt fairly strongly about utilizing my female voice to remove the stigma of intercourse. There was no turning point, I've all the time been like this. I just came out as a bit of a gobs***e. I needed to talk about every little thing.'
She added: 'My mother and father had quite a troublesome marriage, and I used to be all the time a little bit of a voice that was either standing up for my mum or for what was happening at residence and so I've by no means been afraid to say what I feel.'
After helping lots of of individuals discover their match, chances are you'll presume Anna has sooner or later thought-about shifting on from the collection but you gained't catch her requesting her P45.
Anna intends to stay round for as long as the popularity continues and has ambitions for it to be the naked version of Location, Location, Location. Earlier than you instantly take your property off Rightmove, Anna doesn't need to get house-hunters naked, she as an alternative needs Bare Attraction to take pleasure in equal longevity – the property present has been going for 40 collection.
Since starting her TV profession initially of the millennium she's obtained presenting credit on You Are What You Eat, The Huge Breakfast, Changing Rooms, Loose Women and Bare Schooling, but for Anna, Naked Attraction will all the time be her favourite job.
'It's really enjoyable and at its core, it's a show about acceptance, it's a show about confidence, it's a show about visibility and it's body-positive,' Anna enthusiastically tells us.
'It superbly displays the range within the landscape of the UK and whether you like it or loathe it, you watch it.
'It's turn into cult viewing, and it's type of weirdly multigenerational. I have mother and father inform me they watch it with their youngsters.'
One one that is definitely in settlement with Anna on the present's attract is Emma Stone. The double Oscar-winner has proclaimed her love for the present in a number of interviews, and Anna was even asked to document a particular video message.
'I used to be approached back in lockdown by her staff, and I assumed it was a joke. I assumed "Who is that this lunatic that's obtained in touch?", then realised it was truly for her and did somewhat one thing.
'She's all the time been an enormous fan, which is simply so pretty to listen to.'
Not one to relaxation on her laurels, Anna has huge plans for the future of the programme. She envisages filming a collection in America (the UK model was added to HBO Max last yr and immediately turned successful so that would definitely be on the playing cards), a West Finish musical, a reside present, and a star model.
'It might be highly entertaining to get the Tory cabinet on the collection. They will see what life is admittedly like if you're stripped naked and should cope in front of the nation,' she scathed.
For now, she's completely happy getting most of the people starkers. Within the current collection, viewers will meet 35-year-old pansexual pole dancer Abby, who's solo polyamorous. 'I really should get my head round all these terminologies.' Abby has four totally different partners – one she sees weekly, one she sees monthly, and a couple she sees each different week.
While Anna might study so many various way of life decisions, she hasn't been tempted to attempt them. She is in a monogamous relationship with charity employee Simon Marks after splitting from& comedian Sue Perkins in 2021. Earlier than that, she was in an 18-year relationship with TV producer& Charles Martin.
'I'm curious and assume it's superb that folks have multiple partners, but the more I take heed to them, the more exhausting it sounds. I don't understand how they stick with it.'
Although there are not any indicators of Bare Attraction coming to an end, when that day does come, Anna would probably be up for stripping for the final episode.
'It might be so tempting to hitch them for one ultimate episode. Never say by no means,' she teased.
'Every single person who walks off the present is buzzing, and telling me it was "absolutely superb" so it's a seductive selection.'
Becoming a member of the contestants in their emperor's new clothes styling would remedy one challenge – her physique temperature.
The male contestants request that the studio be stored warm out of worry of their manhoods shrinking, which suggests Anna could be 'actually sweaty' whereas making an attempt to entrance the present. Nevertheless, typically the ladies can overrule with a colder temperature as arduous nipples are often fascinating for them. 'It's a continuing battle,' she informed us with amusing.
Naked Attraction airs Wednesdays at 10pm on Channel 4
