Viewers were shocked when they turned their televisions on first thing in the morning and saw a lady sporting her birthday suit.
It's not every day that you turn on your television and see a stark naked lady sitting in a broadcasting studio.

We all know there are PG13 shows, but your morning news and talk shows generally are more family-friendly.
Recently 'Good Morning Britain', a very popular morning show, caught their viewers off-guard when they welcomed naturalist Helen Berriman onto the show to discuss naked sunbathing in public parks.

Helen decided to help get her point across, which was that everyone has a body and seeing it in its natural form is not strange, by showing up in her natural form, which is naked.
The broadcaster did decide to blur out certain parts of Berriman's body but she did not once get changed and stood by her choice to appear naked on national television:
'How is it offensive? It's just a body. You've got one?'

'You're not considering other people.'
There’s no law against being naked in public, but should public spaces be off-limits when it comes to stripping off? pic.twitter.com/HBo5GnLKtx

Why does she have to be naked. If you go on #GMB as a footballer do you have to wear a football strip whilst kicking a ball

However, there was quite a bit of online support for Helen and the naturist community:
Some people just want to be outraged at anything. If people want to sunbath naked in their own garden what the heck has it got to do with you. 🤦🏻♂️#GMB
