How to Look Good Naked Season 3, Episode 6: Alison Howard

Sonya Pettigrew

Women of Britain rejoice! After a soggy summer the Sultan of Style is back, and his first mission is to rescue down in the dumps ballet teacher Sonya Pettigrew, transforming her from a boob hater to a banger rater! Sonya hates her boobs. She’s anti-curves and yearns for a ballerina’s body rather than a fuller, womanly, figure. She refuses to wear a leotard when dancing and hates the fact that it prevented her being a professional ballet dancer.

Cindy Bristow

Gok’s in Crawley this week where he’s on a mission to re-awaken the rock chick in Cindy Bristow. Cindy’s not just hit 40, she’s also slammed full on into the buffers, and after 3 kids is feeling clueless how to adapt to the lumps and bumps that motherhood brings. She still feels like she’s 20 in her head and whilst being young at heart is no bad thing; it’s making Cindy feel horrified every time she looks in a mirror. Cindy is conscious that husband Dan is 9 years younger than her and she worries that her changing body will affect their relationship. This negative mindset has meant that doting Dan doesn’t get a look in — making the situation infinitely worse.

Ali Birch

Ali Birch looks like a girl who's got it all. She's 25 years old, has a rewarding career as a midwife, and has a perfectly petite frame that any number of girls would be gagging for. The problem is that Ali feels that she just doesn't measure up to other girls, and at 4ft 10" she worries that her little girl complex is starting to affect other parts of her life. Boyfriend Matt is a strapping 6 footer, and whilst he's fancied Ali from the moment he laid eyes on her, she doesn't see the gorgeous sexy redhead that Matt does – preferring to dwell on her thunderous thighs and insisting on wearing an unflattering sports bra at all times. She's also ruining things in the bedroom by hiding away in kids pyjamas, instead of flaunting her figure in the flesh.

Angela Morgan

Gok meets his biggest challenge yet – Angela Morgan. Although she’s confident and has a successful career as a university lecturer – she thinks her body is unattractive and flabby. At 59, and after 38 years of marriage, she’s single once again and looking for a new love. But she’s not had much luck finding that Prince Charming because she insists on hiding her fabulous hourglass figure beneath boring and shapeless black ensembles. Angela has major concerns about baring it all and despite being married for nearly four decades, she wouldn't want her husband to see her in her underwear — never mind in the buff! She’s got terrible body confidence – blaming her bod for the split. With her self-esteem at an all time low, she needs a body image boost to get her back on track. She can’t stand her bingo wings and tummy, so she’s decided to don unflattering clothes to cover up. Luckily Gok's got a particularly sharp pair of scissors reserved for this kind of outfit.

Debbie Onions

Makeover master Gok Wan meets slimming club leader Debbie Onions. Behind her confidence and gregariousness is a woman who has a thoroughly poor self–image. Having gone down from a super size 26 to a curvaceous size 16, Gok’s girl thought that dropping five dress sizes would bring an end to her lifelong body hatred, but it didn’t work out that way. She is still horrified by what she sees in the mirror. At 44 and still single, Debbie’s biggest body hang up is her midriff. To hide her problem areas she drowns her curves with dowdy, oversized and unflattering clothes. She needs Gok to help her beat that bad body image, and luckily our man has a plan and the tools to affect a tremendous transformation, re–introducing Debbie to her fabulous figure.

Andrea Perret

Super stylist Gok Wan meets body loather Andrea Perret. At 46, she is desperate to be the same woman she was a decade ago and has lost sense of what she really looks like now. She copies the students’ look to a T but the teeny bopper clothes and hair extensions are a massive costume job. It's time she ditched the teenage clobber and start dressing in high class ensembles. No one has seen her naked for years — not even her partner Jeff. Her biggest body hang up is her bum — she thinks it's massive — so it's time to get cheeky with the Gokettes and show Andrea where her bum belongs in the line up. It turns out her tush is smaller than most.
