Snooker legend Willie Thorne will strip naked in front of millions of people after signing up to ITV’s The Real Full Monty

The Sun can exclusively reveal the 64-year-old has signed up to ITV’s The Real Full Monty.

As well as getting his kit off in front of millions, Willie we also speak candidly about his battle with prostate cancer on the show, which will air later this spring.

Willie is no stranger to starring on reality TV shows and enjoyed a stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2007.

But getting your kit off in front of the nation is daunting to some, TV insiders told The Sun Willie couldn’t wait to get started.

A source said: “Willie is brash and bold and isn’t afraid of showing the gift God gave him.

“He’s not a wallflower and will make sure he gives the show everything he has when filming gets started.

“Willie knows how important it is to speak about raising awareness of prostate cancer, after he was diagnosed back in 2015. He will do everything in his power on the show to make men more aware of their bodies and encourage them to get checked.”

The BBC commentator’s cancer was caught early by doctors and Willie spoke out about his cancer battle to encourage other men to get regular health check-ups.

In the same year Willie tried to take his own life, after running up gambling debts of £1million and being declared bankrupt.

He managed to come back fighting and continues to work for the BBC as a snooker commentator.

Willie will be joined on the show by Love Island winner Jack Fincham and former Emmerdale hunk Kelvin Fletcher.

Jack’s Love Island co-star, Megan Barton Hanson, has signed up for the women’s version of the show.

This is the third year ITV have commissioned the show, which sees the celebrities being taught how to dance by Diversity’s Ashley Banjo – before getting their kit off in front of a life audience.

Last year, Coleen Nolan,  Megan McKenna, Jeff Brazier and John Hartson took part.
