This Morning host Eamonn Holmes among stars invited to strip NAKED for a tribute to The Full Monty… but who would you like to see?
A CLUTCH of celebrities including Eamonn Holmes are being invited to strip for a tribute to The Full Monty.
The film’s 20th anniversary will be marked with an ITV special in April — ending with six stars taking their clothes off at the London Palladium.
This Morning host Eamonn, 57, long jumper Greg Rutherford, 30, gymnast Louis Smith, 27, McFly drummer Harry Judd, 31, and singers Robbie Williams, 42, and Olly Murs, 32, are among those being eyed up.
A source said: “They are hugely popular and have the kind of cheeky sense of humour the bosses want.
“The six who do sign up will be whipped into shape before performing their routine at a working men’s club in Sheffield in April.
“They will have to pluck up courage for the big reveal. But ITV are expecting the cast will get into the spirit and won’t be tempted to leave their hats on.”
Diversity dancer Ashley Banjo will prepare the stars for the show, which is supported by charities Movember, Cancer Research, Everyman and Prostate Cancer UK.
The source went on: “As far as the team are concerned, this is a chance to celebrate a classic movie moment and raise awareness for charity.
“They are hoping that will appeal to the celebs they have in their sights.

“If they get the right people, they are certain the show will go down a storm with viewers, and give a real boost to all of the charities now involved.”
The Full Monty, which starred Robert Carlyle as the leader of a motley crew of unlikely strippers, was a box office smash when it was released in 1997.
Despite a budget of under £3million, it made over £200million in ticket sales and was later adapted into a musical in 2000 and a play in 2013.
