A Beeston-born broadcaster will work with executive producer Louis Theroux to present a three-part series on Channel 4.
Former BBC Radio 1 host Alice Levine will present 'Sex Odyssey' later this year on TV which will explore the sexual activity of Brits since the lockdown.
The series, from Mindhouse Productions, will see Alice invited into bedrooms up and down the country to see how things change and, in some cases, how boundaries are being pushed.
The show seeks to explore how increases in sex toy purchases and webcam subscriptions since the lockdown could be playing a role in changing behaviour.
Alice - who is the co-creator of the renowned podcast 'My Dad Wrote a Porno - said: “It’s a real honour to be the first presenter Louis is working with as an executive producer, especially after so many years watching his programmes.
"We are both fascinated by the contradictions of people’s lives - the strange and transgressive, next to the mundane and ordinary, in one person's story.
"I hope that these films will be both warm and funny, surprising and sensitive. And if we can take the taboo out of talking about sex, that’s a huge bonus.”
The series will be three hour-long episodes and will explore if anything is "normal" when it comes to sex in the 2020s.
Louis Theroux, executive producer said: “I’ve always seen films themed around sex as the most challenging but when you get them right the most rewarding.
Our sexual interests are arguably the most fundamental aspect of who we are and we’re living in a time when a lot of our assumptions are being rethought.
"This is a chance to examine all of that, and doing it with a presenter whose warmth, wit, intelligence, and sensitivity make her an ideal guide through sometimes difficult terrain."
Mindhouse is a London-based independent television production company established by Louis Theroux, Arron Fellows and Nancy Strang.
Fozia Khan, commissioning editor at Channel 4, said: “This bold series continues Channel 4’s proud tradition of embracing taboo subjects others might shy away from, with stories that delight and intrigue.
"We’re over the moon to be bringing the incredibly talented Alice, whom we have long admired, into the documentary space at the channel and to be working with the brilliant creatives at Mindhouse.”
Arron Fellows, another executive producer of the show, added: “When we set up Mindhouse, we were really excited about collaborating with other documentary presenters and Alice was top of our list.
"I can’t think of anyone better to explore and celebrate the diverse range of sex and relationships in the UK today.”
