Having braved sub-zero temperatures for a new reality TV show, stripping off under warm studio lights was not exactly going to be a problem.
But Gavin Henson wasn't just showing off his toned and tanned physique as a treat for his female admirers.
Instead he dared to bare all for a magazine shoot to raise awareness of male cancer for the Everyman charity.

Gavin, 28, stripped off for a special photo shoot for next month's issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
It was for the Everyman campaign to raise awareness about prostate and testicular cancer and encourage men to get themselves regular checked.
His picture was inspired by his forthcoming reality TV show 71 Degrees North, which starts on ITV this Saturday.

The programme will see Gavin compete against other celebrities including actor Shane Richie, TV presenters Andrew Castle and Konnie Huq and Ultimo bra boss Michelle Mone, to be the first to reach the northern-most point of Europe – latitude 71 degrees.
Each week they will be given a daring task to complete while enduring the freezing wastes of Norway.

And Gavin, who split from singer fiancée Charlotte Church three months ago, said he 'nearly died' seven times during filming.
Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday this weekend, Gavin said: 'I nearly died about seven times.
'I did think at times that I’m a dad and shouldn’t be putting myself in dangerous circumstances.
'I was worried I might not see the kids again – but the competitive instinct kicks in and the cameras are there and you just get on with it.'
He added: 'The scariest moment was probably when I got hypothermia. My body went into shutdown.
'Once I was abseiling across a cliff about 1,000m above ground and was really reckless.
'Another time I did an ice swim, which was the most terrifying thing I have done in my life. I nearly died doing it.'
