A couple who found love on Naked Attraction are still going strong four years later.
Beauty therapist Gemma Warren, now 27, from Brighton and Hove, and James North, 31, from Essex, fell for each other while in the buff on the risqué Channel 4 dating show in 2017.
After dating a string of cheaters and love rats, the single mother-of-two applied to the quirky programme to pick her next partner based on his naked body.
After a successful first (clothed) date which left Gemma ‘smitten’, the couple went on holiday together two months later and became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Speaking about their first holiday, Gemma admitted it was ‘make or break’ because they weren’t sure where they stood with each other
Appearing on Naked Attraction Best Naughty Bits: Happy Endings in 2020, a repeat of which aired this week, Gemma described James as her ‘soulmate’ and the couple revealed their plans to move in together after three years of dating. And according to Instagram, they’re still ‘crazy about each other’ in 2021.
‘I’ve found my match, I really have – well, I’ve met my match,’ said Gemma on the show. ‘When I applied I didn’t expect to find someone that I would want to marry and settle down with. He’s my soulmate.’
She added that her two daughters have adapted to having James in their life ‘amazingly’.
‘They’ve got a little nickname for James, they call him Bedtime Boy,’ she revealed. ‘He loves to read them stories at bedtime, he does the best voices and he’s always in character.’
James added: ‘I’m a big kid myself, they look up to him and they do have an amazing bond.

‘It’s good with me and Gemma, we don’t live together yet, we haven’t been able to argue enough for one side or the other, over whether I should move down there or she should move up here. I’m sure she’ll win one day but I’m going to fight it until then.’
After the show the couple revealed they had sex hours after meeting. Speaking about their first holiday, Gemma admitted it was ‘make or break’ because they weren’t sure where they stood with each other.
‘After the holiday we kept in touch, we were texting every day, it brought me to realise that I’d found something quite solid in him, which is brilliant because I’ve been missing that part of me for a very long time,’ Gemma said.
Addressing James via a video call, she added: ‘Yeah I love you to bits.’
Gemma fell for James based on his ‘not too hairy’ bottom and his smile, telling Naked Attraction host Anna Richardson: ‘He looks very happy, very bubbly and outgoing. We could have a good conversation maybe with each other.’
After whittling the naked hopefuls down to just two, Gemma had to come out and reveal her own naked body to James.
When she picked him the pair shared a naked hug – then prepped to go on their first date.
‘My mind is blown at the moment. I’m more nervous about going on a clothed date,’ Gemma said.

Host Anna was pleased with the show’s matchmaking efforts, telling the pair: ‘I think you two make a really lovely couple, I really do. Seeing the smiles on your faces I think you’re going to have an amazing date.’
At the bar, James revealed that he is actually colourblind, and had no idea Gemma was a redhead.
‘He thinks I’m blonde, someone should have warned him!’ she laughed.
Their date moved on to a club where they shared their first kiss, and James admitted that he ‘fancies the pants off her’.

After flashing forward six weeks to see how they were getting on, it was revealed that, despite their unorthodox meeting, they were still very much together.
Gemma said: ‘It’s been plain sailing and quite easy to accept that James wants something to do with me.’
James replied: ‘I think you’re amazing. You’re a nice person, you got a great personality. You’re beautiful.’
Gemma became quite emotional, explaining that she doesn’t normally open up to her boyfriends so quickly, at which point James embraced her in a hug.
