POP Idol legend Gareth Gates turned up the heat as he stripped off for his latest saucy career move.
Gareth, 40, looked incredible while putting his toned physique on full display in a poster for Boybands in the Buff, a cheeky new stage show set to tour the country soon.

The singer, who first shot to fame on ITV’s Pop Idol in 2002, will be joined by a cast of “ripped and ridiculously talented performers for the ultimate throwback concert”.
Promoters promise it’ll be a night when there’s “so much going on, and coming off”.
They say: “With nothing but harmonies, dance moves, and a whole lot of skin, the boys belt out the biggest hits of the 90s and 00s, from Backstreet Boys to NSYNC, Blue to Take That, in a show that’s as nostalgic as it is naughty.”
In an Instagram post, Gareth told fans: “I cannot wait to join the cast of Boyband in the Buff! Touring the whole of the UK throughout 2026. Click the link in my bio for the tour list.
“But be quick… the closer you are to the front, the better view you’ll have. More dates to be announced soon.”
The show is set to visit more than 25 locations across the country, including Felixstowe, Tunbridge Wells, Stevenage, Aldershot, Clacton-on-Sea and Worcester.
Gareth became a household name after reaching a respectable second place in the first series of Pop Idol.
Since then, he has continued to tour the UK, with the star fronting a tribute show to Franki Valli and The Four Seasons last year.
Sharing his excitement to be stepping into their shoes, he told The Sun last year: “It’s a concert that we want people up at the end, singing along, dancing, having a great night out.
“My parents always used to listen to them so it’s been drummed into me as a child.
“And then I’ve done a few shows in the past, which has been based around the music, so to produce my own version of the show is great.”
