NAKED TRUTH
Amanda Holden’s nude dancing to star’s topless sunbathing…celeb parents who let it ALL hang out and leave kids cringing
One star only began to cover up after a major family event
THE sight of mum or dad naked is something no kid wants to see - but some celebrity parents just won’t be told.
MEL B’s daughter Phoenix Brown has hinted that she moved out because of her mum’s cheeky habit of walking around naked.

The pair were filming Romesh Ranganthan’s show Parents Evening, due to air on Saturday, when the saucy Spice Girl made the confession.
“In general I like to feel free,” Mel, 49 confessed.

Embarrassed Phoenix said: “She does, that’s why I moved out.”
And Mel’s not the only celebrity who likes to walk around in the buff.

From Amanda Holden to Bradley Cooper, it seems some stars feel it’s rude not be nude - whatever the kids think.
Amanda Holden
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda is famed for her barely-there outfits but if she had her way, she’d bypass the dressing room altogether.
She even posted a steamy shower video on her Instagram recently.
Back in 2019 her daughter Hollie, then seven, was asked by Jamie Theakston on Heart Radio what the most embarrassing thing his co-host Amanda did.

Hollie said: “She goes naked around the house all the time. I just get annoyed by it; she could just put a jumper on or something.

“Every time someone rings the doorbell, she has to put a dressing gown on and then when they leave, she takes it off.”
Amanda admitted: “I like to feel free, what can I say?”
17
Earlier this year Hollie said: “The most embarrassed my mum has made me was when she was dancing around the house naked and she made me go and get and get the door while she scrabbled to get some clothes on.”
Bradley Cooper
Hollywood heart-throb Bradley Cooper starred in the Hangover but he’s also a let it all hang out kind of guy.
Appearing on Dax Shephard’s Armchair Expert podcast in February, the host said his family always walked around nude.

Bradley said: “Me too. And by the way, I was like that. Not with my mum but with my dad. My dad was always nude, always took showers with him.”
The Tinseltown hunk said he was ‘totally’ comfortable without a scrap of clothing, which is just as well.
While starring in Nightmare Alley, in 2022, he spent up to six hours a day completely starkers.

Bradley, who shares daughter Lea, seven, with ex Irina Shayk, is passing his body positivity down to her.
“We talk while she’s in the bath and I’m on the toilet,” he said.

Denise van Outen
Some kids are left cringing at their unclad mums and dads strutting around in the buff, despite the message of body-confidence.
One of those is Denise van Outen’s daughter Betsy.
17
Denise, 50, said: “Sometimes I walk in the shower and she’s like “mum, please put some clothes on.
“When I grew up, my family were all very like everybody was hiding everything and I just wanted to be a little bit more open and especially about the female form.”
17
She added: “I want her to feel confident, and also to see their imperfections as well, which I think is really important for girls to see and understand that they’re just normal.”
The Gogglebox star said she’d start wearing clothes "when everything goes a bit grey down there."
Frankie Bridge
Stunning Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge is also one of the ‘kit off’ club.
She and husband Wayne, share sons Parker, 11, and nine-year-old Carter.
17
Speaking on Loose Women Frankie said: “We’re quite a naked family, I would say. And I grew up in quite a naked family. “I don’t see what the issue is. I wouldn’t think, ‘Oh now is the time to cover up’.
“I think if [Parker and Carter] started to look uncomfortable or if they started saying, ‘Ooh, Mummy,’ then I would go from there.”
17
Frankie later said she occasionally covered up while with oldest son Parker.
Kerry Katona
Former Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona, mum of five, admitted in her new magazine column in 2020 she also loves to stroll about the home undressed.
Kerry, 44, said: “I do it all the time. I don’t walk around naked on purpose, but I don’t shut my bedroom or bathroom door.
17
If I’m in the bathroom, my kids just barge in anyway. You can’t go to the toilet in peace in my house.
“And when we go on family holidays, I’ll sunbathe topless. It doesn’t bother me and I’m not a prude in that respect.”

Emily Andre
Peter Andre’s wife Emily, is not much of a Mysterious Girl when it comes to nudity.
The pair share daughter Amelia, 10, Theo, seven (birthday Nov 22) and baby Arabella, seven months.
17
NHS doctor Emily said: “Everyone has different views. I don’t parade around in front of my kids, but if they happen to be there and I’m in the shower I don’t cover up in front of them.
“I don’t think kids should have a perception of feeling self-conscious about their body.”
David Beckham
But one star who’s put his naked days behind him is David Beckham, 49.
He stopped letting his ‘Golden Balls’ hang out when he and Victoria, now 50, welcomed their daughter Harper, now 13, to their brood of boys.

The former footballer said: “My naked days are over. I definitely walk around the house in my underwear. But not naked.
With the boys it’s not a problem because they’re naked all the time but with a little girl now, it is different.”
