Axed MAFS UK star to appear on dating TV show - completely naked

Married At First Sight UK didn’t work for Luke Worley - so he’s appearing on a dating show with a raunchy twist.

The MAFS contestant - who was kicked off the 2023 series after an altercation with a co-star - will try to find love on Dating Naked UK.

The show, which is hosted by Rylan, launched on Paramount last year, and it does what it says on the tin: contestants have to date naked.

And nudity isn’t censored or pixelated when the show is aired.

Announcing his new venture on Instagram, Luke wrote: “I probably just needed a hug….but I stripped off instead

“Dating Naked streams exclusively on @paramountplusuk from Friday 29th August, with two episodes dropping every week.”

On Married At First Sight, Luke was paired with bride Jay Howard - but Jay revealed at the reunion episode the pair were no longer together.

“Luke has always found it difficult to make meaningful connections,” a Dating Naked spokesperson said.

“Despite his attempts and outgoing personality, he has always struggled to find love.”

The show spokesperson added Luke is keen to promote body positivity, according to the Daily Star.

“Luke feels like he’s already bared all when it comes to being vulnerable on TV having previously appeared on Married At First Sight, but feels strongly about representing the ‘normal’ men out there who don’t fit the stereotypical mould of the perfect body,” he said.

Speaking about the next series, Rylan said it would be taken “up a notch”.

“This year we’re taking it up a notch, working even harder to help our brilliant cast find their perfect match and battle it out for a £50,000 prize pot,” he said.

“I can’t wait for you to meet our brand new daters, and maybe a familiar face or two.”

For the next season of the show, production has moved to Panama, and Rylan has teased a lot of changes to the format.

“If the daters watched the first season and think they know how the show works, they’re wrong,” the told the Star on Sunday.

“We want to keep them on their toes. We don’t want them to know what’s coming next.”
