Don't worry, it is all for a good cause!

Avert your eyes!

But only if you’re a little bit prudish, because this is actually all for a great cause.

On Saturday 9 June 2018, people will be arriving at a secluded Wicklow beach in order to set the new world record for number of skinny dippers in one go.

The charity Kick The Shite Out Of Cancer has opened the event to everyone… as long as you’re female.

Yup, sorry fellas, but if you’re wanting to get your get nekkid, you’ll need to do it on your own time.

According to the Guinness World Records official website, the current record is made in March 2015, when 786 naked people descended upon a beach in Perth, Australia in order to celebrate positive body image.

This time round, and in order to leave no uncertain gap between first and second place, the charity are looking for at least 980 bodies to take part.
