Drawers Off: The Big Naked Painting Challenge

“In the studio we’ve got paints and colourful markers. Behind the curtain, somebody’s starkers!” A software developer and a barber are among the amateur artists having a nude awakening in this life drawing competition. Every evening throughout the week, enthusiastic host Jenny Eclair gives the contestants a new model to put on canvas using their skills, imagination and flair. They then mark each other out of 10 and the winning artist walks away with a £1,000 prize. Hollie Richardson

It was only a matter of time before this smash hit of a podcast made its way to TV.
