Kate Humble has shown off her cheeky side by admitting she loves taking her kit off and wants the BBC to launch a NUDE TV show.

The Springwatch presenter confessed she feels most at home when naked and "hardly ever" wear clothes when spending time at her French holiday home.

She also revealed British people are "obsessed" with nudity in a "weird, unhealthy way."

“I’ve stripped off loads of times on camera when there are reasons for it," Kate told The Sun.

She added: "I don’t know why we haven’t done Nude Watch yet.

“We have a shack in France by a lake and I hardly ever wear clothes when we’re there and I swim naked.”

Kate, 48, who is president of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, has previously spoken about her love of naturism.

She said it was her “eccentric, barking-mad way” of feeling closer to nature. She said: “There’s something joyous about it.

“My husband and I danced naked in the desert in Jordan once. If you can’t get your kicks in that innocent, joyful way, then the world is not a good place.”

The presenter, who has been with her TV producer husband Ludo Graham, 55, for 25 years, has never been shy on the subject of her passion for nudity.

She said:“I do like taking my clothes off and feeling at one with nature.

“Sometimes I get completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the environment around me and it just seems the most natural way to experience it.

“The Naturist Society loves me now! It’s hilarious. In fact, I’ve had some very lovely messages from naturists."

She added: “But I didn’t mean to give the impression I spend all my time dancing round naked, especially not in bl**dy tick season.”

Kate revealed she rejected an offer to go on Strictly Come Dancing because the idea of wearing sequins sends her into a panic.

The popular presenter said she has been approached in the past about going on the show but turned it down because she much prefers ‘sticking with animals’ and being ‘mucky’.

The 48-year-old admitted sweat was pouring off her when she attended a meeting with BBC bosses to discuss the idea of doing the dancing show.

“I have been asked before to go on Strictly,” she said. “I was doing Springwatch at the time and my agent phoned me up to tell me Strictly wanted me to do the show. I hooted with laughter at the thought and then went back in to tell the Springwatch team what I had been asked to do.

“They looked at me and said ‘you HAVE to do Strictly’. It started to make me wonder if I was being really stupid as it is such a great show.

“I phoned my agent back and told her what everyone had said and we agreed to go to the meeting.

“But when we got to the meeting, the more talk there was of sequins, make-up and Strictly Takes Two, the more I could feel myself pouring with sweat. It’s just not me and I was literally about to have a panic attack at the thought of wearing make up and dresses! My agent realised and gently put her hand on my knee as if to say ‘it’s ok, don’’t worry’.

Kate recently returned to screens on the show that made her famous, Animal Park, alongside her friend and former co-star, Ben Fogle. It goes behind the scenes at Longleat Estate and Safari Park.
