Said she “refuses to watch it in on a point of principle” because she feels her Channel 4 series is far more inclusive.
You’re seeing a range of bodies [on Naked Attraction], it makes you feel comfortable about your own. And I personally have never, ever watched Love Island, so I kind of refuse, on point of principle, because I think that Love Island is a deeply unethical show. So what you’re doing is you’re showing youth and beauty and rivalry as a betrayal, as some kind of standard that we should be held up to, whereas Naked Attraction does the exact opposite.
She told MailOnline
Anna went on to say that Naked Attraction is “about acceptance” and aims to show that “nobody’s body is perfect”.
I think it’s about, I think it’s a gloriously bonkers show about acceptance. It is about the fact that nobody’s body is perfect. This is about vulnerability. It’s about acceptance. Whether I’ve got a stoma, or I have a disability, I’ve got one leg, or I’m in a wheelchair, whatever happens to be, or I’m a trans person on my journey, all of us deserve to be loved and accepted for who we are.
She added
And, Anna is hopeful that the show will return.
I am desperate for it to come back. I really hope so, because it’s a fun show to do, and it does very well, but I have no idea about the politics of whether it is or not, but let’s keep our fingers crossed.
