A new naked dating show was forced to put out two disclaimers following an astonishing first episode.
The controversial show dubbed as the 'naked Love Island' has finally graced our screens, and it's safe to say it got everyone's tongues wagging.
Some believe it's totally 'cringe', while others believe it's a brilliant form of entertainment.
And if you're a fan of Married At First Sight, Naked Attraction and Love Is Blind, you'll probably agree with the latter opinion.

Dating Naked UK sees a group of singles date each other completely naked while living it up in a villa, with the show hosted by the iconic Rylan Clark.
And he is currently defending the show after a barrage of hate online.
Speaking to Joel Dommett and Rochelle Humes on This Morning, Rylan said: "It is Love Island without the bikinis, that's pretty much what it is, you see everything, there's no strategic placement of the cameras.
"You see absolutely everything.

"It's dating laid bare."
But aside from obvious viewing concerns, people were also questioning how hygienic the show actually is.
In the first episode, as one man rode a horse during a date, he noted: "It feels like my balls are getting stuck to the saddle."

And with everyone naked 24/7, there's no wonder why the show had to put out two major disclaimers about the contestants, and how they have been treated throughout the process.
At the end of the first episode, two disclaimers were shown which addressed issues that fans of the show were curious about.
It said: "Contributors have been provided with psychological support and welfare guidance throughout the production of this show, and have access to continuing support.

"Strict hygiene and dignity protocols were in place during filming."
During their time on the show, contestants are made to do chores while totally naked, hence why viewers have become concerned about the hygiene protocols.
Competitors must rise to complete challenges, go on dates with potential flames and do anything to avoid being eliminated from the tropical paradise.
To make the contest even more fierce, producers have put up a £50,000 prize pot for the winning couple to claim at the end of the first season.

But neither them, nor the viewers, know how they win the show.
Rylan added: "There is a lot of twists and turns along the way and what's great about it is you have no idea, and they have no idea what the end goal is.
"No one knows, how does someone win, how does the format play out, we do, you don't, and that's what keeps you going."
Fans were quick to share their thoughts about the show.
One user on X said: "Watching Dating Naked UK and not even 5 minutes in, and I've already seen t**s, vagina and a d***..."
Another said: "Noooooo Dating Naked UK is very hard to watch but it’s so funny I can’t."
