BOSSES at Rylan Clark's racy reality series Dating Naked UK have signed up MAFS star Luke Worley to strip off on TV.

The dating show, based on an American format, launched on Paramount+ last year, and is currently casting a new crop of sexy singletons for the second series.

Rylan, 36, recently revealed that the second series would be getting a massive revamp, and now a familiar face to MAFS UK fans has signed up.

A TV source said: "The girls are pretty much sorted but they’re still casting for male stars.

"That’s why they’re open to people who’ve been on reality TV before."

An insider says bosses were over the moon when they persuaded hunky fitness coach and MAFS star Arthur Poremba to sign up.

But just weeks after agreeing to take part, Arthur pulled out because he’d met someone and was no longer single.

As Luke signed up to the show, our source revealed that bosses think that he is the perfect fit.

Our mole added: "He’s happy to strip off and they’re certain he’ll bring a lot of drama."

Luke first appeared on MAFS back in 2023 and was partnered up with Jay Howard.

He was booted off the show after having a fight with co-star, Jordan Gayle.

Despite seeming to get on well during the show, Jay later confirmed they went their separate ways.

At the reunion, she told her co-stars: "He literally basically just said, like, we are better off just being friends.

"I asked him what he wanted, but he couldn't answer the question."

Filming for the second series of Dating Naked UK will start this summer.

The Sun has contacted representatives of Luke for comment.

Mafs couples that have stood the test of time

Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.

The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.

Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.

Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.

Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.”

Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.

Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.

"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.

“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’

“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”

Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.

Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.

They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.

Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."

In February last year, Luke introduced his then-girlfriend Hannah Lynch to his followers, as he called her his "rocket".

But six months after going Instagram official, Luke revealed on social media that the pair had split.

An intrigued fan asked Luke during a Q&A in August: "Are you still with somebody?"

Luke replied: "Nope, back to the drawing board," and added a screen shot of his Hinge dating profile.
