Steve Sidwell drops gown after which drawn by artwork class that features Peter Crouch

Steve Sidwell has played in some crunch games throughout his career – but they didn’t make him anywhere near as nervous as posing nude.

Sidwell, 41, was tasked with posing nude in front of an art class, that also featured Peter Crouch and Chris Stark. The ex-Premier League star had to do a forfeit after he finished last in their predictions league from the Peter Crouch Podcast.

It’s the second punishment from the league – with Stark becoming the the first male PDC dancer to perform during the walk-on segment of the World Darts Championship.

“Our mischief makers had a hard time topping Chris Stark’s history-making moment when we challenged him in the first forfeit to be a PDC Dancer at the Paddy Power World Darts Championship in the Ally Pally but we always believed Sidwell was a masterpiece in the making.

“It took Crouch and Stark a full ten minutes to regain their composure when he disrobed, but he made life modelling look like a piece of cake, which is more than we can say for his colleague’s dodgy sketching skills,”Rachael Kane, a spokesperson from Paddy Power said.

In the video, Sidwell can be seen posing with a pudding, as little is left to the imagination. Crouch and Stark fail to regain their composure, giggling away as the class start to draw Sidwell.

“It was genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. I wasn’t able to start drawing until about 20 minutes into it because every time I looked up I would burst out laughing again, which I don’t think the other serious artists were too impressed with,” Crouch joked.

He then added: “I thought it was great and he pulled it off well, although I am not in any major rush to see him in it again any time soon!”

While, talking about the punishment, Sidwell said: “Yeah, I was stitched right up here, sat in a room full of people I have never met before 98% naked is not how I envisaged spending my Wednesday morning – I am sure they left the heating off on purpose too.

“I don’t think anyone loves a forfeit. That’s the whole point of them but we did have a laugh with this. Everyone was a very good sport about it and I have got some lovely pieces I can hang in our new place now!”

Sidwell was allowed to chose one painting to take back to their podcast studio to hang on the wall.

He joked: “It was a very tough call as they were all so good but I do think the winning one captured me quite well and I also thought it was quite a good size for us to hang down the pub.

“The lads did okay to be fair, better than I expected although when you put them next to the pros, they do leave a lot to be desired…”
