A contestant on Channel 4's steamy new reality show, Dating Naked UK, has achieved instant notoriety after being branded the 'worst date ever' by horrified viewers.
The unidentified man, one of the first participants on the controversial series, left both his date and the audience utterly bewildered with a series of painfully awkward and cringe-inducing comments.
Viewers took to social media in droves to express their second-hand embarrassment, with one calling the encounter "the most uncomfortable piece of television I've ever witnessed."
The show, which pushes the boundaries of dating television by having contestants meet in nothing but their birthday suits, is no stranger to drama. However, this particular suitor managed to set a new bar for disastrous first impressions.
A Masterclass in Awkwardness
Sources close to the production describe a date that quickly went off the rails. The man allegedly failed to pick up on basic social cues, made a series of bizarre and inappropriate remarks, and displayed a staggering lack of self-awareness throughout the encounter.
His behaviour was so jarring that it reportedly left his potential love interest visibly stunned and struggling to find a polite way to exit the situation.
Viewer Reaction Goes Viral
The fallout was immediate. Clips of the disastrous date began circulating online, sparking a wave of memes and incredulous reactions.
"This guy has set dating back 100 years," tweeted one viewer. Another posted, "I've never felt more second-hand embarrassment in my life. #DatingNakedUK."
The wave of negative publicity has undoubtedly cast a spotlight on the intense pressures and potential for humiliation that come with participating in such a revealing format, both literally and figuratively.
