Naked, Alone and Trying to Get Home W/T

Prod co: Avalon

Two pairs of complete strangers are stripped bare of all clothes and possessions to race across the English countryside in a bid to be the first to reach a cash prize for charity and their clothes. Will they have the strength, resilience and resourcefulness to survive in the country’s most extreme environments, with nothing but their wits? And as they move towards the finish line in a busy town centre, will they be able to improvise cover for their modesty in order not to alarm the locals?

Naked, Alone and Trying to Get Home W/T is produced by Avalon and exec produced by Jay Taylor and Jamie Isaacs. It was commissioned for E4 by Factual Entertainment Commissioning Editor, Tim Hancock and Head of Youth and Digital, Karl Warner.

The Love Triangle

Prod co: Naked

Over a quarter of 18-24s say they would like to try a polyamorous relationship, but for the couples hoping to ‘throuple-up’, finding and agreeing on the third person is notoriously tricky. Not only do they need to agree on the type of personality they’re after, they both need to have the hots for them too. Enter The Love Triangle, a brand-new dating show aiming to help our wannabe ‘throuples’ find their perfect match. They’ll be guided every step of the way by our presenter, Desiree Burch and assisted with a voiceover from Bimini Bon Boulash, as they introduce the singles to our hopeful couples. But after our couples have given a potential third person the thumbs up, will their potential new love interest feel the same way about them?

Host Desiree Burch said: “I was excited when E4 and Naked asked me to host a brand-new kind of dating show. It’s a dating show that is evolving to meet the needs of a new generation of relationships. And I’m so excited to do anything with Bimini Bon Boulash. There are so many different angles to explore in a Love Triangle. I can’t wait to go on that journey with the guests on our show."

The Love Triangle is a Naked production for E4. The Executive Producers are Tom O'Brien and Anna Meadows and the Series Producer is Nykki Parker. It was commissioned for E4 by Entertainment Commissioning Editor, Steve Handley, Head of Entertainment and Events, Phil Harris and Karl Warner.

Kinky Daters
