Just 15 per cent said they worried about other people seeing their tush, with 85 per cent saying they were quite happy with how it looks.

By contrast, Scots would rather give a bum steer to trips to the beach, pool, gym or changing rooms.

Fun-loving Yorkshire celebs who might agree with the poll of 15,000 Brits include Leeds-born Scary Spice Melanie Brown — who said that her “bubble butt” was a dead giveaway when she appeared on The Masked Singer.

And Sun columnist, Top Gear and Clarkson’s Farm favourite Jeremy Clarkson, who hails from Doncaster, was once stung on the backside by a bee.

But Last of the Summer Wine battleaxe Nora Batty (played by Kathy Staff) might have been more prudish about daring to bare anything above her saggy stockings on the streets of Holmfirth.

Victor Renfrew, 44, of Keighley, West Yorks, said he was quite happy showing off his buns to all and sundry.

He said: “Its just what God gave me, so if it’s good enough for him it should be good enough for the rest of the universe.”

As a whole, 18 per cent of Brits said they got stressed over other people seeing their rump, leaving 82 per cent who were “free and easy”.

People in the East of England and South East were second in not caring about daring, at 84 per cent, followed by the North East, North West and West Midlands (83 per cent).

The shier people appear to live in the East Midlands (82 per cent), South West (81 per cent) and Wales (80 percent).

But those north of the border the coyest — with only 75 per cent of Scots feeling fine about baring their butt.

Karen Un­sworth, 41, of Edinburgh, said she hated any situation when she had to disrobe. She said: “I’m always wary of people looking at me when I’m changing at the swimming pool or in changing rooms.

“I’m not proud of the way my bum looks, and I hate people gawping at me.”

The survey by digital healthcare provider Voy also found that 89 per cent of men were happy showing off their bum, compared with 74 per cent of women.

A spokeswoman said that although the study found that most Brits were not shy about showing off their glutes, a significant amount did have reservations.

She said: “It can trigger self-consciousness and anxiety, turning moments into experiences to dread or avoid ­altogether.”
