They will join actress Sherrie Hewson, Dancing On Ice professional skater Vanessa Bauer, Death In Paradise star Victoria Ekanoye, footballer Ashley Cain, former England rugby international Ben Cohen, actor Nick Collier – better known as Ella Vaday from RuPaul’s Drag Race – and reality star Pete Wicks.

In 2021, Countryfile presenter Julia Bradbury, 53, revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and later underwent a mastectomy during which her breast and two lymph glands were removed before reconstruction took place.

Former Coronation Street star Sherrie Hewson lost her brother to brain cancer last year while Gemma Collins’ mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

On the show, each celebrity will overcome their fears to strip off and bare all.

The Fully Monty will also detail the personal reason why each star has decided to take part in raising awareness of cancers in intimate areas of the body and the crucial importance of early self-checks to help save lives.

Coleen Nolan and Ashley Banjo will once again host the striptease show.

Other stars who have previously stripped off for the show include former Strictly Come Dancing stars James and Ola Jordan, EastEnders actress Laila Morse and newsreader Victoria Derbyshire.
