Tennis Star Martina Navratilova DROPS CLOTHES to Raise Cancer Awareness

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova, Loose Women's Coleen Nolan, Love Island's Megan Barton-Hanson, EastEnders star Laurie Brett, So Solid Crew's Lisa Maffia, former TOWIE star Danielle Armstrong, and actress Crissy Rock joined forces in dropping many of their clothes for this year’s edition of The All New Monty. The strip for a good cause was aimed at encouraging women to pay more attention to their health, promoting breast and cervical check-ups in a bid to raise cancer awareness.

​All the ladies went completely topless. Apart from the daring performance on stage, the celebrities let body painters cover them in art. 

For some of the “showgirls”, the task was personal — namely Former Wimbledon champion Navratilova, who has herself battled breast cancer. 

“Sometimes I feel like I lucked out, I had the ‘good cancer’ – if ever there was an oxymoron”, she told the British outlet Metro.

The performance touched social media users, who took to Twitter to applaud the women.
