Each contestant is given six potential matches who are standing by in different booths.
Over the course of the show they're bodies are revealed from top to bottom before the hopeful picks one to take on a date.
Naked Attraction first launched back in 2016 and recently wrapped its 12th saucy series - yet bosses have said it has no plans to return after a slew of Ofcom complaints.
Yet Anna, 54, has told some famous faces are craving to be in the mix if it does.
She confessed: "We have had a couple of people go 'oh, I'd do that'.
"I can't ever get Duncan from Blue off me basically, he was begging to be on the show - and he would be amazing."
Anna added to The Daily Star: "I know that ages ago Scott Mills joked about coming on, I still hold out hope.
"Strangely, it's always guys. So I think the boys that are really proud of their w*****s are the ones that are really keen to get on.
"But I was still advocating for some girls to come on.
Naked Attraction viewers seriously distracted by Channel 4 contestant branding him 'elephant in the room' after body reveal
"I think if you're very pleased with your boobs, then they seem to be more open to it.
"But, it's mainly the boys who know they've got a lot to show off…I think.'
Previously, TV presenter India Willoughby, 57, previously revealed she was originally approached to take part in a Celebrity edition of the show in aid of Stand Up to Cancer.
However plans for the show were then shelved as producers couldn't find enough people wanting to take part.
Meanwhile, the show has gained attention for its explicit content and unconventional approach to dating, as well as sparking discussions about body positivity and attraction.
Interestingly, the unusual dating style is a winning combination for long-term love.
There are couples who are STILL together after meeting on the programme, including series one's Gemma and James, and series two's Josh and Rob.

Stars of new thriller The Assassin appear as trailer released
Prime Video also released the action-packed trailer for The Assassin on Thursday, which features Hawes as retired assassin Julie – who is forced to fight for survival alongside her estranged son Edward, played by Freddie Highmore. The trailer shows Hawes transformed into a gun-wielding action woman, complete with blood-splattered face and clothes. 'I used to do bad things. For money,' she says in one scene. Hawes and Highmore appeared for a photocall at the Soho Hotel in central London alongside other actors who appear in the new series, including Shalom Brune-Franklin and Devon Terrell. The six-part thriller sees the characters Julie and Edward forced to flee an idyllic remote Greek island and go on the run together when Julie's dangerous past catches up with her. Hawes previously said she felt 'so lucky' to have spent last summer in Athens with the 'wonderful' Highmore and the 'high-calibre' cast and crew. The series is the latest project by writing duo brothers Harry and Jack Williams, who produced the hit comedy Fleabag and created the thriller series The Tourist starring Jamie Dornan. Hawes has previously starred in hit series including Line Of Duty, Bodyguard and Spooks, as well as Channel 4 drama It's A Sin and ITV political drama Stonehouse. Highmore, who starred as the titular character in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory as a child, previously said it was a 'joy' to work on the project. 'It doesn't get better than a Greek adventure alongside the lovely and incomparable Keeley Hawes,' he added.

Speaking with comedian Katherine Ryan and professional boxer Derek Chisora on his Let Me Tell You Something podcast, he said: "I broke a vow. I feel my level of punishment was up there. I had to take it and have some broad shoulders and handle it, and I feel like I did that." Jermaine likened his messages to Fifty Shades of Grey lothario Christian Grey, continuing: "It was sexting, as simple as that, but it was initiated to me and then I responded. "It wasn't just me going out of my way and it definitely 100 percent wasn't 'me 'if you do this I will help you in your work'. "There was no power element to it going on." He then admitted his personal life and marriage weren't in a good place at the time, though he insisted it was no excuse for his behaviour. "There's a lot of stuff with me and Ellie where we weren't in the best place ourselves," he said. "And things were just spiralling a little bit. In no way is that blame. I'm fully accepting responsibility. "I dealt with it wrong and got heavily punished for it by losing pretty much everything that I had at that time." Though the fallout of the messages was costly, Jermaine claimed the BBC had him "locked in a creative prison".

The pair had explosive rows but, Jermaine admitted they quietly worked through their issues with the help of couple's therapy. Heartbroken ex-model Ellie announced the couple were separating in March. She wrote: "I never imagined I would have to share something so personal with the public, but given the situation, I feel it's necessary. "After 16 years together and 4 wonderful children, Jermaine and I have decided to part ways. "We will remain friends and continue to co-parent. We kindly ask that you respect our children's privacy during this challenging time. "Thank you, Ellie."
