A noughties heartthrob has shared his daughter is "mortified" by his new raunchy show touring the UK later this year.

Pop idol star Gareth Gates will be bringing Boyband in the Buff to the Spa Pavilion in Felixstowe on February 6.

The throwback concert will feature some of the biggest hits from chart-topping 90s and early 2000s bands such as Blue and Take That.

It has been described as a show where "clothes come off and the heat turns up" with audiences also warned it "contains tight harmonies and tighter pants."

Boyband in The Buff was inspired by the success of the film franchise and West End show Magic Mike and includes a shower scene, which will see Gates take to the stage in swimwear.

However, not everyone is a fan of the singer's latest venture as he admitted that his 16-year-old daughter is a bit embarrassed and "sceptical."

"Missy is mortified. She goes to school in Wiltshire and she's very pleased that I'm not going to a theatre near there," he explained.

"She says she couldn't handle seeing Daddy topless on a poster so close to her school."

Tickets for Boyband in the Buff are available now, starting at £38.
