How To Look Good Naked

When Londoner Dorothy Pearlman hit 40 she lost her va va voom. Now, she’s a doting mother, devoted wife and compassionate nurse - an eternal carer who looks after everyone except for herself. Dorothy quite simply hates the way she looks and wants to feel sexy again. More than anything else she (like a massive 9 out of 10 UK women) loathes her thighs and thinks that everything she wears makes them look worse. It’s Gok’s mission to give Dorothy back the style and confidence to work her body – showing her how to look good with her clothes on, and off.

The 36-year-old girls' school teacher Emma Wright should be in her prime, but when it comes to body-loathing, this 1.8-metre tall lass comes top of the class. Most of all, Emma hates her typically British shape – with small boobs and bigger hips she’s a classic pear and she hates what she sees in the mirror. Her hatred has got so out of hand that she spends most of her time indoors rather than out on the town with her other single mates. The result? She hasn’t let a man see her naked in nine years. Emma urgently needs help. It’s Gok’s mission to give Emma Wright the style and confidence to work her body – showing her how to look good with her clothes on, and off. And when Emma gets her mojo back, Gok is the first to hear all about it!

She’s afraid of communal changing rooms and when Leana does go shopping she cuts the labels out of her clothes so she doesn’t have to be reminded her size. It’s Gok’s mission to give Leana back the style and confidence to work her body - showing her how to look good with her clothes on. But can he get her to look good naked?

It’s Gok’s mission to give Zoe the style and confidence to work her body and to show her how to dress it. And he's not holding back this week - ‘You look 104 years old and like you’re going camping,’ he says, berating her for beige attire. And when he slips her into a bustier and pencil skirt combo he says, ‘Now it’s more Monaco and less Streatham.’ Zoe has officially been Gok’d. But will she look good naked?
