Furious Naked Education viewers hit show with Ofcom complaints after pre-watershed nudity
NAKED Education has once again been hit with Ofcom complaints for showing pre-watershed nudity.
Last week, viewers were horrified as a segment of the programme featured a massive display of public nudity with a naked group bike ride.
The scene caused outrage as it aired and Ofcom has revealed the show racked up a further 53 complaints over the nudity and to this being presented to participants in the programme aged 14-16.
The controversial new Channel 4 series has now had 1,201 complaints logged with the official broadcast regulator.
Many watching at home took to Twitter to complain.
One fumed: “Just saw #nakededucation and I’m sorry but if there was a group of naked older men and whoever else riding around and my little girl saw that I would be fuming!!! Literally would push ’em right off that bike.”
A second added: “Oh my, naked bike riding should be banned. #disgusting. It’ll fright children and horses.”
Another was unhappy about the show airing before 9pm, commenting: “I’m sure there used to be a watershed.”
Presenter Anna defended the show recently, despite viewer fury over the fact that the series sees adults strip in front of children as young as 14.
In an exclusive interview with TV Mag, Anna explained: “Naked Education is a body positive, educational series that is basically aiming to normalise all body types and champion everybody’s differences, so that we can accept that with our clothes off we’re all normal.
“I like to make shows that are controversial, that break taboos and that make a difference, and with every single show that I’ve done you can tick one of those boxes.”
