Australian hunk Mike Durrant is the latest contestant willing to strip naked to find love on the new matchmaking show Dating Naked UK.

The expat, 29, is an event planner originally from Newcastle, NSW, who is now living the high life in Mallorca.

Boasting several tattoos and a ripped torso, the party playboy describes himself as a ‘charismatic, daring chatterbox’ who is known for being a serial dater. 

Now, the former male stripper and ex boyfriend of UK television personality Chloe Ferry, is ready to settle down and find love.

Without a stitch of clothing in sight, Mike will appear on the new UK version of Dating Naked, which will be hosted by British TV presenter Rylan Clark.    

‘Keen to meet his match on the show, Mike is well-known for being a party playboy and a serial dater,’ his bio on the series read.

‘An ex-Dream Boy, Mike is good with his hands and good with his hips. He is excited for the show as he believes traditional dating doesn’t work.’

Mike often flaunts his lavish lifestyle on Instagram as he shares images and videos of his late nights out in Europe, taking jet ski rides, and working out at the gym.

The Aussie will join nine other lovelorn singles who will meet each other in the nude, including an Essex builder, Las Vegas hairdresser, and Canadian party girl.  

Contestants will spend all hours of the day nude, but will be compensated by living in a luxury Colombian villa which host Rylan, 35, will frequently visit. 

The Paramount+ programme, which will hit screens on August 23, has already been dubbed ‘Love Island on steroids’.

Like Love Island, Dating Naked has a prize of £50,000 (AUD$98,183), but unlike the hit ITV2 show, the series finale has already been filmed.

In other versions of the Dating Naked franchise, contestants had their genitals and breasts blurred for television.

However, it is said there will be no pixelation or blurring in the UK version. 

Paramount+ bosses ensured there was an on-site intimacy coach and, feeling safe, the cast swiftly shed all inhibitions.
