Here's a sentence I never thought I would be writing, naked dating shows are having a bit of a moment, aren't they?
From Naked Attraction in the UK, to the Aussie Kyle and Jackie O Show, it seems like the good old days of having to put in some ground work before you see some flesh are behind us.
Of course, appearing in your birthday suit in front of the nation isn't for everyone and there are loads of reasons a person might not want to get their kit off on the telly, with all those people watching.
No, I can't read German either. Credit: CEN

'What if the studio is cold?' 'What if I'm caught at a bad angle?' 'What if, actually, there are no good angles to see me naked?' 'What if my mum sees?' The list goes on.
German star Farid Bang - born Farid El Abdellaoui - has topped all those reasons, though, because he says he didn't go naked on a dating show because his penis was too big. Fair enough.
According to a post he made on social media, the rapper and bodybuilder was asked to appear on the Adam Looks for Eve show by producers.
He posted a shot of the letter sent to him from the TV officials along with this caption: "I finally made it!! Adam is looking for Eve."
Farid then added: "But unfortunately I have to cancel because of the fact that my voluminous manhood feature would worry German viewers watching in their homes.
"It would give people complexes, which would also greatly increase the divorce rate."
So, I mean, fair play he didn't want to set the divorce rate of Germany soaring, what a guy?

The show places naked singles on a desert island, and, I don't know, presumably they're meant to fall in love...or at least fight a lot. Anyway, it looks like it wasn't a good enough offer for Farid, who decided to take the piss instead.
Despite his claims, the company behind Adam Looks for Eve has refused to confirm or deny they asked him to take part.
