Made in Chelsea's Andy Jordan is the hunk without trunks

Who is always the first person to go fully nude? Me. I enjoy the liberation and the risk. I’m not very good at thinking ahead, so I usually take off my clothes and jump in the water without a thought.

Skinny-dipping is not like getting your clothes off in someone’s bedroom; it’s not too forward, it’s just quite natural, like ‘well, we’re having fun and oh, whoops! we’re having sex’. You don’t feel like you’re being naughty. It just happens.

But it’s got me into trouble. A girlfriend once caught me naked in a hot tub with two other girls. Nothing was happening. I’m very well behaved when I’m in a relationship, but I didn’t realise that doing a little nudie with other girls was crossing a line. In hindsight, I found out that it’s not OK. That relationship ended, predictably.

You don’t want to be too full-frontal; you need to tease a bit and not give too much away. (I only do a bit of the hands-free stuff.) What’s funny about skinny-dipping is that people don’t look where you think they are going to look, everyone actually just stares straight at each other’s faces.

Skinny-dipping is the ultimate flirt. You cross boundaries in the water that you wouldn’t on dry land; once you’re naked in the pool there’s really no awkwardness.

My top tip is to avoid doing it with people who will screw you over (I’ve had my trunks nicked quite a few times). And remember to never, ever do a nude handstand in a hot tub. I did. The boys caught my feet and held me upright while everything else flapped around. That was a low point; I got no action that night. LHJ
