“Back in the day I did a little bit of modelling,” the former Bachelor Matthew Johnson said. “One of my fondest memories is being in my DTs (Queensland slang for d--- togs) at Pacific Fair shopping centre on the Gold Coast.

Johnson, and other celebrities including Brendan Fevola and Robert DiPierdomenico, stripped off for The All New Monty, which will air on Channel 7 next Tuesday.

The show supports men’s health causes.
