Rylan Clark got dating tips from Dating Naked UKParamount

Rylan Clark has revealed he learnt some flirting tips while presenting new show Dating Naked UK.

The This Morning presenter is the host of the new reality show on streaming service Paramount+ - dropping this Friday (August 23) - which sees a group of singletons naked and looking for love in a picturesque Columbian villa.

In an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, Rylan told us how the show was educational for him as someone back on the dating scene.

"It was really interesting because obviously I’m a single guy," he said. "So watching - and not only just watching - but studying as the host how people date now is quite new to me."

"I’ve not dated for such a long time," he added. "So, I mean I picked up a few little lines, shall we say."

Rylan believes that the show's unique angle where the contestants bare all whilst dating actually helps to build stronger romantic attachments.

"There’s this connection that just happens in the series that because they’re naked, I mean you can never be that raw, you’re so bare - physically and mentally - that you have no choice but to get to know the person," he told Digital Spy.

"You know when you meet someone in a bar, or you’re dating someone, you have that sort of play up of 'Oh, I can’t wait to see them without their clothes on', but that element is gone.

"And it’s not sexual, the show doesn’t feel sexualised because these people are naked, it just feels raw and that in turn builds better connections."

Dating Naked UK already has a fan in Rylan's mum Linda who is "definitely" tuning in to see the dating experiment.

"Yeah, Linda will definitely watch it, 100%," he laughed. "Probably shouldn’t say this, she’s already seen a couple of episodes and she loves it."

Dating Naked UK launches on 23rd August exclusively on Paramount+. Two episodes will drop at launch, followed by two new episodes dropping every Friday. There are 10 episodes in total.
