Ananova:

A Lincolnshire naturist has launched Britain's first naked painting and decorating service.

Nick Male, 37, says business is booming and he is fully booked up well into the autumn.

"I work more now than when I left my clothes on and I've had to turn people down," he told Metro.

The tradesman, who advertises on naturist websites and eBay, made the fresh start this year after finishing a six-year relationship.

"The service is a serious one. I don't do titillation and I soon get rid of the people looking for that - they go very quiet when I ask their address," he said.

Far from hindering matters, having a naked decorator oils the creative wheels, he claims, making customers feel less inhibited.

He now plans to spread his style worldwide.

"I am wondering whether to work in every country - with the exception of a few. I don't want to get arrested," he added.
