A NAKED Attraction star has opened up about his time on the hit Channel 4 show and claimed that the programme doesn't taking dating seriously at all.
The dating series helmed by Anna Richardson sees singletons choose their potential future partner by picking the birthday suit they are most attracted to before going on a date to see if the spark is there.
Naked Attraction has entertained households across the nation since 2016 for its raunchy, racy and controversial dating approach.
Back in 2020, a former US Marine, Conor, appeared in series seven, episode two of the show.
The star, who now lives in Scotland, admitted to falling in love all too easily and was looking for his dream woman, but wasn’t confident about his approach with them.
After narrowing down his choices, Connor matched with Bianca even though Anna noted that he was really attracted to Sandra.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out for the pair, who hit it off instantly because they lived too far apart.
The star recently revealed in an exclusive interview that Channel 4 bosses don't care about the 'logistics' of a new couple remaining together after the show ends.
Conor admitted: "It’s not a dating show – it’s a fun show, but I think they can’t just say, ‘We’re going to throw naked strangers on the TV in front of you’ without having the premise of making it to find love.”
He added: "It's wholesome, accepting and [promotes] that body positivity.

“ A lot of people who do go on there, they're promoting body positivity because there’s not a lot of television out there showing bodies that represent what we see in the mirror.
"But I don’t think you’ll find many people who met on Naked Attraction and [stayed together]."
Speaking his own story, Connor explained to the : "The person I matched with, they live four, five hours away from me, so it didn’t seem logical during Covid that it was very thought out.
“And it showed to me that, okay, they didn’t really care about the further package – they just wanted to see our packages."
Fortunately for him, he enjoyed showing his bits and bobs off on the show.
He continued: "The best thing about going on the show was having a fun experience; I love having a funny story to tell people.
“The people that I met and the person I matched with – we don’t talk all the time, but I still have all the love in the world for her. She’s an amazing person."
During his appearance on the show, Conor revealed to Anna that after a tour in Afghanistan with the Marines, he had "forgotten" how to talk to women and needed her help to find love.
Even though Conor didn’t find love on the show, he has now focused his efforts elsewhere.
The former Naked Attraction guest has now joined OnlyFans to gain control over his racy content and raise money for an animal sanctuary he's launching in Scotland.
Conor proudly admits he doesn't mind putting his bum on display for a good cause.
Fans of the controversial Channel 4 dating show are in for a big surprise following host Anna’s recent announcement that conversations are taking place to put the dating show on London's West End stage.
