Mortified woman can’t stop giggling as she dates a man in just her UNDERWEAR for new TV show Undressed
NEXT time you're nervous about heading off on a blind date, bear in mind that things could be a lot worse.
You could be asked to strip off in front of your date, then told to answer some of the most personal questions ever.
That's the premise of TLC's new dating show Undressed, with Jo-Anne and Tony taking up the challenge for the first episode.
"My last relationship moved very fast," Jo-Anne, 28, from Birmingham, explains to camera.
"We weren’t together very long but we were engaged and the wedding was all planned.
"I just woke up one morning and he’d gone, and I haven’t spoken to him since.
“I’m looking for someone that can make me laugh, that gets my sense of humour. And I do like a man with tattoos and piercings as well.”
Getting to know her is 38-year-old joiner Tony, from Leeds.
"I’ve had my heart broken in the past," he explains before meeting Jo-Anne.
"My last relationship was really good, two-and-a-half years.
"Final six months it broke down… she got pregnant to somebody I classed as a friend.”
As Jo-Anne waits nervously to meet her date, Tony breaks the ice by stopping to do some push-ups as he walks to meet her.
The pair are shy with each other to begin with, which only gets worse when they're given the instruction to undress each other.
Jo-Anne takes the plunge, giggling nervously as she strips Tony down to reveal his fetching pink pants.
Then it's his turn to help her out of her clothes.

"I’m quite glad he did it from the back because I like my bum," she says.
"The first thing he saw wasn’t my stomach."
It seems the awkward setting has got to Tony too, as he admits to the camera: "She’s a bit shorter than the normal girls I go for. Not sure if I fancy her."
The pair are then given talking points to get the chat flowing, with a photo of Tony's dog flashing up on screen.
So far so good... until two shots of Jo-Anne are beamed into the room.
She's slimmer in one than the other, prompting her to tell Tony she "was a beast" in her larger days.
He's horrified she'd describe herself in that way, but struggles more when she gives her views on romance - just after he's explained he loves making soppy gestures to the woman in his life.
"Too much romance makes me feel a little bit sick," she said.
"Like, it’s cringey.
"Maybe I’m just not used to it, I’ve never been in a romantic relationship – maybe that’s why."
The pair are then challenged to kiss, before they have to decide whether they want to see each other again.
