Dan Osborne has stripped off for charity.
'The Only Way Is Essex' star posed in nothing but a pair of white boxer shorts on The Sun's Page 3 today (14.11.14) in aid of the paper's Feel 'em Friday initiative to raise awareness of testicular cancer.
Dan teamed up with The Movember Foundation to promote the cause which aims to encourage men to check themselves for signs of cancer, and confessed he was "shocked" by statistics relating to the disease.
He also admitted he's preparing to tell his 10-month-old son Teddy to do the same as soon as he is old enough.
The 23-year-old hunk - who is expecting his second child with his 'EastEnders' star girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa - said: "Men often don't think enough about our health - and we need to start. The statistics are shocking, and the only way to change them is to get blokes checking themselves, and going to the doctor if they find anything.
"As soon as you have a kid your whole perspective on life changes. You know you need to be there to care for your child - so you have to start looking after your health. And of course, when Teddy's older I'll speak to him about how important it is for him to check himself."
The reality TV star was joined in promoting the campaign by West Ham United football team who stripped off for the launch of the 'Feel 'em Friday' initiative on November 7.

Adam Rothenberg sabotaged auditions when he found out 'Ripper Street' might be returning.
The American-born star admits he was so keen to reprise the role of Captain Homer Jackson that he ruined his chances of getting other jobs after hearing there was a chance it could be brought back for a third series even though it had been axed by the BBC.
Speaking about finding out video streaming service Amazon Prime were interested, he said: "It was very sneaky and very below the table. I would get a call from [writer and creator] Richard [Warlow] saying, 'Just so you know, I wouldn't make any plans'.
"Meanwhile, I was in LA trying to sell myself because I was unemployed. It was a really awkward month of going into work and sabotaging auditions. It was very weird. It was a very weird month."
And although Adam's co-stars, Charlene McKenna (Rose Erskine) and Jerome Flynn (Sergeant Bennett Drake), claim they always felt it could return because of the outcry from fans after it was cancelled, he insists he thought it was over for good.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Oh no it felt like the end. Just because it seemed so obvious that something that was so enjoyable ... I was pessimistic that way. I just figured. So actually, I was really surprised when it came back.
The 39-year-old actor added: "I mean I believe what I'm told so when somebody says it's cancelled, I'm like, 'It's definitely gone'."
Series 3 of 'Ripper Street' is available to watch exclusively on Amazon Prime Instant Video from Friday November 14.

Steven Moffat thinks Peter Capaldi has saved 'Doctor Who'.
The 56-year-old actor was cast as the 12th incarnation of the titular Time Lord earlier this year and showrunner Steven claims his quirkiness has saved the sci-fi series from becoming predictable.
He said: "A show dies when it's reliable like a pair of old slippers - if any reviewer says that about a show, that show is gone within a year.
"Shows die when people say: 'Oh, it's quite good. I quite like it.' And the 'new show' is old now, so this had to be a reinvention.
"This has been different and designed to make you go, 'I don't trust him yet, I don't know what he's like - what's he going to do next?' It's exciting and makes the show new again."
The 52-year-old writer and producer also claimed he's not worried whether people like Capaldi or not, as they're still tuning into the BBC One show.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he explained: "If people say: 'I'm appalled by the new Doctor!' I say, 'Yeah, yeah, and you're watching it every week.'"
Steven also insisted viewing figures can be misleading, explaining: "Indisputably, without doubt, exactly the same number of people watch Doctor Who now as they ever did.
"There is no drop off in the ratings but the way people watch it has changed.
"They watch it on catch-up to a far higher degree. In the time I have been doing 'Doctor Who' the number of people who watch it on iPlayer has trebled."

Lucy Mecklenburgh is releasing an autobiography.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is set to release the book detailing her turbulent past relationships with her co-star ex-boyfriends Mark Wright and Mario Falcone.
The brunette beauty - who is known for her slender physique - will also share her own exercise tips to help fans get into shape.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The book will be full of Lucy's favourite exercise techniques and will have tips to help her fans get her amazing body.
"But she's also going to dish the dirt on what happened between her and Mario Falcone and Mark Wright.
"She threw herself into exercising after splitting from Mario, so obviously she needs to detail all the background to her healthy lifestyle."
Lucy, 23, recently confessed she became addicted to exercising once she made the decision to start working out and began to see the results.
She explained: "I didn't train at all. I was one of those girls who had the gym membership, but never went. And one day I was like, 'OK I'm thin, but I'm unfit, I'm unhealthy and I'm starting to get cellulite - I need to do something.'
"I started doing 30 minutes, but then I wanted an hour! Once you start seeing improvements in your body, you want to do more."

The 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' camp is infested with ticks.
A total of 10 celebrities have landed in Australia to take part in the ITV reality show, but the programme's 'Medic Bob' (Bob McCarron) has revealed the stars face painful bites from parasites which have swept through the camp.
Bob explained: "They're like a pin dot on your skin but the swelling they can cause is as big as an apple. So far, we have had 30 crew members affected.
"I met all the celebrities and told them, 'Half of you will be bitten by ticks'. They didn't like that."
'The Only Way is Essex' star Gemma Collins, Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson and rapper Tinchy Stryder will head into the jungle on Sunday (16.11.14) to begin their reality television stint, and will need to be careful to protect their genitals from the thirsty critters.
He continued: "Ticks crawl in trousers and end up in the groin. They go everywhere but they like those areas in particular.
"It takes about two days to get better. They are so tiny we have a pen like you use for skin cancers to freeze it and kill it to get it out."
Other celebrities facing the biting ticks include broadcaster Michael Buerk, former footballer Jimmy Bullard and 'Coronation Street' star Craig Charles, and the on-site medic added that the stars might have more to worry about if the past few days are anything to go by.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We found a venomous snake in camp this week.
"And we found another species in a camera hide which can also kill."

Matt Baker has been eating lots of cake while doing the BBC Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge.
The 36-year-old television presenter has been travelling around the UK on a rickshaw to raise money for the telethon, and admits that he's had lots of support from the public who have been making him scoff their baked goods.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "People are piling out the door with jelly babies and trays of cakes - we're meant to be athletes - maybe some fruit next time?!"
Despite consuming lots of treats, 'The One Show' host admitted that he has secretly loved the amount of desserts that he has been given while taking part in the gruelling adventure.
He continued: "What I love to see is someone come out the kitchen in a pinny with a parcel covered in tinfoil that's just been baked - that's a winning moment for me!
"And of course all the cheers and kind words make the world of difference for the riders, especially when it's been raining or the roads have been full of hills - it just spurs everyone on."
The former 'Blue Peter' presenter - who has children Luke and Molly with his wife Nicola - also revealed that supporters have been coming out to cheer him on at strange times during the night.
He added: "This morning, we started at 2.00am and there were people cheering for us at that time - it's great!
"A really funny moment was at 3.30am we saw a ghostly figure. It was a lady in her nighty and fluffy slippers shouting, 'Come on Team Rickshaw!'"

Coronation Street's Roy Cropper is to be arrested for assault.
The beloved ITV soap character, played by David Neilson, is to snap after weeks of being tormented by a local gang and will lash out at an intruder who breaks into his café, the Daily Star newspaper reports.
After hearing someone moving around in Roy's Rolls, he takes a bat downstairs and begins swinging wildly at the burglar, who he is shocked to discover is neighbour Gary Windass (Mikey North).
And despite Gary having broken into the café to steal cash from the till to pay for his child's Christmas presents, Roy is overcome by guilt and pleads with the judge to send him to jail after he's charged with assault and given 100 hours' community service.
Roy says: "The legal system has proven that it's totally inadequate.
"It's not right at all, there was a security guard charged with actual bodily harm and got a 10-month sentence. I've committed a violent crime, I deserve to be in prison."
However, Roy's neighbours are to jump to his defence, insisting Gary got what was coming to him.
Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) says: "Roy is a decent bloke. If Gary hadn't been breaking in this would never have happened."
Busybody Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) adds: "That lad has been nothing but trouble."

Sam Strike has quit 'EastEnders'.
The 20-year-old actor, who plays Johnny Carter on the BBC One soap, has confirmed he's decided to move on from the role after just under a year.
He wrote on his Twitter account: "Thanks for all the love this year guys. Means the world. Decided to bow out. couldn't have done it without you all . thanks @bbceastenders. (sic)"
Sam joined the soap in late 2013 as the son of new Queen Vic owners Mick (Danny Dyer) and Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and was immediately plunged into a tough storyline of coming out as gay to his parents.
Speaking about the storyline - which resulted in the soap being awarded the Media Recognition prize at the 2014 Attitude Awards - Sam said previously: "I was really nervous the night it aired because you want it to look convincing and to do justice by the people that have been there and done it.
"It was a real proving ground for me because it was the first time I actually had to do any proper drama acting. I've had letters and Danny's had letters saying that we'd helped people to come out and it makes things worth it."
Although 'EastEnders' bosses have remained tight-lipped on how Johnny will leave the London-based soap, they've revealed he's already finished filming his final scenes.
A spokesperson told RadioTimes.com: "We can confirm that Sam will be leaving EastEnders. We wish him all the best for the future."

Rylan Clark laughs at bullies on Twitter.
The 'Big Brother's Bit on the Side' presenter has revealed that he copes with online bulling by laughing.
He joked: "The mute button on Twitter is my new favourite thing.
"When you block people they know you've blocked them and they get off on it, but with mute they don't have a clue you've done it.
"It just makes me laugh. I think, you can sl*g me off all you want but I'll see you on 'Jeremy Kyle' next Tuesday.
"Good luck to you. I'm earning money, I've got a nice house and I've come from nothing and done it - and you're talking about me.
"If sl*gging me off, five minutes of your day, if that five minutes is enjoyable, I'm glad I made your day."
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the 26-year-old star - who rose to fame on the ninth series of 'The X Factor' - added that he feels more comfortable as a presenter now that the public have accepted his bright white veneers.
He said: "I'm glad I did my teeth. I had my teeth done the day I started presenting 'Big Brother' and back then, I couldn't present a show for nothing, but everyone was talking about the teeth so no-one thought I was a crap presenter. It was a Brucie bonus!
"Now, a year and a half on, people say, 'Oh, his new teeth look so much better'. Well they're the same set. You've just got used to them and I'm a good presenter now."
