14 May 2010 – Louie Spence, Jesse Metcalfe, Adam Garcia and Danny Young are among the sexy male celebrities who have stripped off for Cosmopolitan’s annual ‘Naked Centrefolds Special’ (June issue, on sale 10th May).

This is the ninth consecutive year that Cosmopolitan has supported Everyman. Money is raised through dedicated phone and text lines encouraging readers to vote for their favourite Centrefold.
“With 2,000 men being diagnosed with testicular cancer in the UK every year, women remain pivotal in encouraging men to be more self-aware,” said Jennifer Provin, Director of Fundraising at Everyman. “If caught early it’s 99% curable, so it’s crucial that men check themselves regularly. Cosmopolitan’s Naked Centrefolds campaign has consistently proven to be a fun yet effective way of raising awareness of this serious issue.”
The Everyman Campaign is run by The Institute of Cancer Research to raise awareness of, and funds for research into, male cancers at the Everyman Centre – Europe’s first and only centre dedicated to male cancer research.
