    Channel 4's Naked Education has been hit with 930 Ofcom complaints.

    The brand new show hosted by Anna Richardson, Yinka Bokinni and Dr Alex George aimed to educate young teens about the human body and how diverse it is.

    Trying to normalise how different we all look under our clothes, a group of grown men and women stripped off to show their naked bodies to teenagers between the ages of 14-16.

    However the programme that was aired on April 4 was shown before the 9pm watershed which left a number of viewers unhappy due to the amount of nudity shown.

    Spectators were also left concerned with the fact that children were made to watch grown adults undress in front of them.

    Since the show aired on Channel 4 many have taken to Twitter to share their fury online.

    One social media user wrote: "The biggest evil of them all is evil people pretending that their normalising of degeneracy is an act of kindness and progressive by decorating it in positivity. When in reality we know it's disgusting and wrong."

    Another questioned: "Do you think it's possible to teach children to be positive and confident without taking one's clothes off? Or is it about ratings and advertising revenue?"

    A third chimed: "Channel 4 UK has a new "body positivity" series entitled Naked Education. It would be fine if they had not involved children in their show. Parading naked men around in front of children is not alright. Take your perversions elsewhere."

    However some viewers appeared to support the idea, with one writing: "Watching #NakedEducation . These are real bodies . Not your Instagram filtered poses , sucked in stomachs and zero cellulite . The media , fashion industry and social media platforms need to pay attention . This is empowering, real and honest."

    Speaking about the show before the release, presenter Anna, who also hosts Naked Attraction said it's "one step further than Naked Attraction"

    She told The Sun: "It says: 'Let's normalise bodies, let's have the conversation about what we go through and let's actually educate the nation.'

    "I like to make shows that are controversial, that break taboos and that make a difference, and with every single show that I’ve done you can tick one of those boxes."
