Comedian Jack Whitehall claims he’ll no longer do nude scenes on TV

Comedian Jack Whitehall has revealed he’ll no longer be going nude on television.

The 29-year-old actor revealed he has a new no nudity clause in his contracts because he’s annoyed with having to strip off on screen so often. 

The star previously stripped down for BBC1’s Decline And Fall, E4’s Fresh Meat and Sky One’s quiz show A League Of Their Own

Speaking to The Sun, Whitehall said: “Especially on A League Of Their Own, I’m always naked. There’s a lot of my a**e.”

“I said, this series gone, ‘If you show my a**e, I want you to send official approval.’ So I’ve been giving approval now whether they can use my bottom. It feels like you should always have approval.”

He added: “From day one, that should have been in my contract.”

Whitehall was made to bare his bum in the first episode of last year’s Decline And Fall. Speaking about his reaction after reading the script, Whitehall said: 

“My heart sank. I thought, ‘Comedy drama. Fin-ally I might keep my clothes on.’ First scene, they’re down.” 

Meanwhile, the comedian opened up about the time he thought a picture of his goods had leaked online during an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
