Russell Brand is appealing for scores of people prepared to get naked with him.

The comic, whose sex life is rarely out of the tabloids, wants crowds of people to streak across the set of his new TV show Russell Brand's Got Issues.

The half-hour programme, which goes out live on E4, will tackle a different issue each week.

And the first, to air on September 5, is based on ideas of beauty. Producers decided a bunch of nude people of all shapes and sizes would be the perfect conclusion to the debate.

And they say the stunt is likely to be repeated the following week.

Their call for people to take part comes less than a week after stand-up Phil Nichol won Edinburgh’s if.comeddie award for a show that featured naked crowds.
