X Factor's Rylan Clark poses naked for cancer campaign

Flamboyant singer and winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2013 Rylan Clarke recently enjoyed his first naked centre fold shoot for UK's Cosmopolitan magazine and opened up about his decision to do it.

The photo was for a cancer awareness campaign and 24-year-old Clark admitted that it's important for men to check themselves:

“People have just got to realise you can’t be shy about this stuff you’ve got to check yourself. It’s important to look after yourself on the inside as much as on the outside. Us blokes play with our bits enough as it is, so when your man has his hands down his trousers on the couch, encourage him to check his testicles for any lumps."

He added that he had a cancer scare when he was younger, which was a terrifying experience: "I had a little scare when I was younger – I found a lump and was really scared, but I went to the doctor and everything was fine. It might not have been if I hadn’t spotted it early though.”

Referring to his preparation for the risqué shoot, he joked: "I did a good bit of prep for the shoot, making sure everything was trim and proper. I even had a little shave of the nipples!"
