On Britain’s Secrets with Anne Robinson, the presenter delved into the subject of British body confidence. Anne spent time with militant fitness enthusiast Lonan who was a slave to the gym and followed a strict calorie controlled diet. She also explored the rise in pampering and preening amongst men in the UK. But the most eyebrow raising moment came when she visited nudist couple Wendy and Mike from Bedford.

Wendy became a naturist seven years ago but Mike has been one from birth, following a lifestyle his parents and grandparents lived. Anne spent time at the couple’s home where they watched TV and even hung the clothes out to dry on the washing line in the buff. Mike insisted not wearing clothes meant it was easier to accept people for who they are. Wendy added:”We accept people as they are. Fat, thin, operations scars.”
