GOGGLEBOX fans couldn’t believe their eyes after being forced to endure Rylan Clark’s incredibly racy new reality show.
Viewers of the C4 show shared their shock after being shown a ‘warts and all’ look at Dating Naked.

TV and radio presenter Rylan hosts the MTV series, which sees singletons in the buff as they try their luck at finding love.
But for fans of Gogglebox, the programme proved to be all too much.
Taking to X to share their thoughts, one viewer exclaimed: “I’ve just looked up from my phone. Erm.. I’m sorry what is this?!”
A second complained: “Ewww no, I don’t like this.”
Another remarked: “Remember when the double entendre on Blind Date was considered a bit raunchy? Jaysus.”
And someone else even said: “What the f*** is this on my TV?”
The Goggleboxers were equally shocked by Dating Naked, too.
Brother and sister duo Pete and Sophie Sandiford were seen hiding behind their hands, as husband and wife Dave and Shirley giggled.
Best mates Jenny Newby and Lee Riley, however, quickly put their specs on for a closer look at the screen.
Dating Naked premiered on MTV at the end of August.
But as the controversial series got underway, critics were quick to show their disapproval by branding it “disgraceful”.
Rylan immediately hit back, saying: “It is Love Island without the bikinis, that’s pretty much what it is, you see everything, there’s no strategic placement of the cameras. You see absolutely everything.
“And all the reviews today from the same reviewers that give me five stars for my last show on BBC Two are like ‘This is disgraceful’. You know ‘I don’t need to see this’ – but that’s exactly what the show is, and its dating laid bare.”
Meanwhile, Gogglebox returned to telly screens on Friday night for a brand new series.
The first episode also featured programmes including Channel 5 drama The Teacher and BBC’s Race Across the World.
There are so far no new faces among the armchair critics – and no former ones either.
Gogglebox stars Stephen and Daniel’s relationship timeline
Hairdressing duo Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig got engaged back in 2016 and married two years later.
The couple co-own a hair salon and live in a £575,000 property on Brighton’s sought after seafront.
At the time of the engagement, Stephen appeared on Gogglebox alongside his ex-boyfriend Chris Ashby-Steed.
In 2019, Daniel made his Gogglebox debut and was immediately a big hit.
Chris, who is now in a happy relationship with husband Tony, spoke publicly about how the show affected his mental health.
Having relocated to Wales and quit showbiz, Chris said he was racked with anxiety during his time on the programme.
Just last year Daniel and Stephen shocked Gogglebox fans when they announced they were leaving the programme. Daniel had been part of the show since its launch in 2013.
Their departure opened up a new world of opportunity for the duo and it was soon announced that Stephen would take part in Dancing on Ice. But disaster struck and injury ruled him out before the live shows.
There were further gasps of shock in April when we revealed the pair had split up. They vowed to remain friends and looked to be true to their word, sharing a smiley picture the following day with Stephen’s mum on the seafront.
One star who will definitely never return is Stephen Webb, who quit Gogglebox alongside his estranged husband Daniel Lustig last year.

Ruling out a comeback, Stephen recently told The Mirror: “I thought, ‘I just can’t go back, I’m sick of it.
“I got to the 10th anniversary of Gogglebox. I started feeling like Ken Barlow… there from day one. I was churning out the same old [stuff].”
