Joey Essex has reportedly been asked to star in a one-off celebrity edition of 'Naked Attraction'.

The Channel 4 show features men and women appearing as nature intended in a bid to find love and bosses want to air a version with famous faces and bodies.

However, the search for stars has so far been a fruitless one as many of the people approached are less than keen to bare all in front of the nation.

Former 'The Only Way is Essex' star Joey, his co-star Lauren Pope and Made in Chelsea's Jamie Laing were all reportedly invited to take part on the programme, but it's looking unlikely they'll be stripping off their clothes for the show.

A production insider told The Sun newspaper: "The celebrity one-off show would be a ratings hit, with massive viewing figures.

"But producers are having a nightmare in trying to sign up the usual reality star suspects because no-one is prepared to strip naked on telly.

"Many of those who have been asked would be up for doing something with Channel 4 for charity, but they've drawn the line at nudity. Once you've stripped off on telly there's no going back and it's out there forever. Some of them have politely declined and others have just ignored producers' messages."

It's also reported that produces have contacted stars of 'Geordie Shore', 'Ex on the Beach' and 'Love Island'.

However, Joey, Lauren and Jamie are said to be at the top of their list to book.

Filming for the show said to be scarcely schedule for May time, but this may all change.

'Naked Attraction' - presented by Anna Richardson - was last seen on screens in September 2017, and has had two successful series since launching two years ago.

Joey would be a great fit for 'Naked Attraction' after being a contestant on 'Celebs Go Dating' in 2016.
