Embarrassing Bodies press pack

TX: Mondays from 5th March, 9pm, Channel 4

The nation's favourite doctors are back in the fifth series of Channel 4's hugely successful Embarrassing Bodies.  This year, as well as seeing a host of new patients in the clinic, they will also be exploring a tropical assortment of embarrassing souvenirs that can be brought home after a trip abroad.

With Dr Christian and Dr Dawn ever ready to shed their inhibitions, the brand new Embarrassing Bodies tropical diseases specialist, Dr James Logan, exposes them to a swarm of mosquitoes in a lab experiment, designed to show the rest of us what to avoid.   In a unique "insect-appeal" test, they will find out why some people are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes...

While Dr Dawn sets up a poo bar in Thailand, Dr James infects himself with hookworm parasites; Dr Christian jets to Ibiza to give the party crowd advice on safe sex, and Dr Pixie travels to the UK's favourite holiday spots with the EB mobile clinic.

Series five welcomes new patients waiting for help with their embarrassing ailments from botched bosoms, bad breath and festering feet, to bothersome bottoms, hidden penises and mystery rashes. 

The eight part series begins in early March.
