Keith Chegwin nets naked profit
Published Monday, Aug 21 2000, 17:00 BST | By Neil Wilkes
Presenter Keith Chegwin has struck a deal allowing him to keep a "healthy percentage" of profits relating to video sales of his one-off game show, Naked Jungle.
The now-infamous show, which aired on Channel 5 in June, has been made available on home video for £10.99 - offering viewers the chance to see him naked on-demand. Chegwin has decided to refuse other TV networks access to the show; reportedly BBC One, ITV and Channel 4 were interested in acquiring rights to show clips from the programme, but he decided that "the joke's been done now and that's it".
Chegwin is playing down theories that he could stand to make a fortune from the video sales of the programme, which attracted significant criticism in the press after it was screened:
"It never really works like that. It's like the record industry, the profits are never that great."
