A still from the programme, before the participants disrobe
A children’s television programme to promote body positivity, and which features naked adults answering kids’ questions, has become controversial before it has even aired, with politicians joining in the fray.
The programme is based on the Danish
Ultra smider tøjet (Ultra strips down) which is now in its second season.
The show, called
Gewoon Bloot (simply naked) in the Netherlands, consists of a number of adults of all shapes and sizes answering questions from children aged 10 to12 on subjects like being ashamed of certain body parts or shaving versus waxing.
