Reality TV star Luke Worley opened up about working with Rylan Clark, revealing what the presenter is really like in real life. Luke recently returned to screens on Paramount+ series Dating Naked, two years after his appearance on Married at First Sight. The controversial show, hosted by Rylan, features fully unclothed participants as they search for love — and compete for a £50,000 prize. In an interview with Express Online, Luke praised Rylan, highlighting how he never acted superior to the cast and helped put everyone at ease during filming.

The TV star said: “He’s a good guy. He’s no different from anyone else, and he puts people at ease. Dating Naked is the perfect show for Rylan, and as the seasons go on, hoping that next year’s is commissioned, I think you’ll see him come out of his shell even more. There are points where, if he had full free rein in what he’s saying and doing, it could be even better.” Luke admitted he respects Rylan for being unapologetically honest and not worrying about others’ opinions.

He continued: “What I respect about Rylan is that he does say his opinion. He doesn’t care what people think, like with what happened to him recently on This Morning. He’s open and honest in what he says and I’m quite similar to that, so I relate to him on that. He’s the same as all of us there. He didn’t make us feel any lesser than him and made us feel so comfortable.”

He believes Rylan is perfect for the show’s cheeky and controversial style, adding: “I got to speak to him a few times because I got kicked out twice. We’re both from Essex so we had a bit in common.

“Overall, he’s perfect for that type of show. It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek and controversial – it can sway opinions, but that’s part of his personality. He’s a bit like Marmite, and I think the show is too.”

Luke added: “I can see it getting better and better as the seasons go on.”
