Jonathan Pratt, pictured, the Sussex auctioneer who has become a housewives’ favourite as a BBC antiques expert, is among the familiar faces revealing all for the forthcoming Famousmales Testicular Cancer Awareness Campaign.
The Checkum campaign, in association with Macmillan Cancer
Support, features posters of more than 30 UK celebrities as Mother
Nature intended, sending the message that there is no embarrassment
in getting the right advice about a potentially deadly form of
cancer.
Jonathan, who is used to wearing his clothes at Bellmans in
Wisborough Green, Billingshurst, where the photo session took
place, said: "I feel honoured to have been asked and to be part of
the same campaign as famous musicians and actors. It shows we've
got balls."
Not visibly so, of course, in this particular image, where his
modesty is saved by a Carlton Ware vase, but even so, Jonathan
admitted: "The thought of standing naked in front of a photographer
filled me with dread, so to think that my photos will be reproduced
in posters and put on the side of bus shelters scares the living
daylights out of me. But I am also extremely excited to be part of
this worthwhile campaign."
The controversial year-long campaign - which includes
contributions from singer Ronan Keating, rugby international Ben
Cohen and Olympic swimmer Mark Foster among others - starts next
year and ends with a sale of large, framed signed prints of all the
stars.
