Warning! TV2′s popular show, Embarrassing Bodies, returns to TV2 for a squeamish, brand-new season.

The Embarrassing Bodies team are back to re-open the sorely missed Embarrassing Bodies clinic. Desperate for some much needed medical attention are a brand new blushing array of highly embarrassed patients, all suffering from visually shocking and personally mortifying conditions. Our doctors had thought they’d seen it all – but even they are left speechless by some of the conditions.

Tonight, Dr Christian sees a man with a bent penis which needs straightening out; while Dr Pixie and Dr Dawn head out in the mobile clinic where they’re offering advice on flatulence.

Plus, with half of the Welsh population failing to go to the dentist regularly, they’re joined by dentist, Dr James Russell, whose pop-up dental clinic is inundated with nasty gnashers needing help.

The Broadcasting Standards Authority has dismissed a complaint against an episode of Embarrassing Bodies that showed female nudity.

A complaint was made after the UK show featured footage of female genitalia and surgical operations.

From the gruesome to the unbelievable to the just plain weird, Embarrassing Bodies seems to have it all. Tonight, one young woman proves that you certainly can have too much of a good thing.

This evening the doctors visit the countryside, and discover that although farmers are more likely to visit the vet for their livestock than pop into their GP for themselves, they could still benefit from some timely advice on sexually transmitted diseases.

While in the clinic, the doctors meet a young woman whose large breasts are causing big problems for her spine, a man who’s literally been grinding his teeth away, and a patient who’s ears are so flaky she can’t help leaving bits wherever she goes.
