Helen Thompson
In this week's episode we meet business woman turned frumpy mummy Helen Thompson. A former power-dressing career girl, Helen's confidence took a turn for the worse after she gave up her job to start a family and now, two kids and a couple of cup sizes later, Helen's figure has changed and her self esteem has slumped. With her youngest daughter about to start school in September, Helen is longing to get back to work and claw back some of that long-lost confidence. Unfortunately she's so paranoid about her top-heavy figure that she's scared stiff of squeezing into a business suit and making the return to the boardroom. But if Gok's going to work his magic on Helen he's got a mountain to climb. Sporting broad shoulders, a flabby tummy and gigantic boobs on her top half and narrow hips and skinny legs on the bottom, Helen is an inverted-triangle of fashion trouble, crying out for some expert know-how. Luckily Gok's a man who likes a challenge and he's determined to give our heroine enough confidence to shine like a glamour queen and return to the workplace. After a gruelling soul-searching session in front of Gok's full-length mirrors and some very public feedback in front of a saucily revealing poster in the local cinema, Helen is beginning to confront her body demons. Soon Gok's showing her how to dress to her best with some stunning hand-picked outfits, buffing her "Bristols" with some fancy spa treatments and maximizing her curves with some very supportive undergarments. By the time he's finished with her she's been coiffured, made-up and styled to the max, and is ready, willing and able to disrobe and display all in a breathtaking naked photoshoot. But having bared all in the studio, can she now go public and flaunt that gorgeous body all over again on the catwalk in front of her friends, her family and hundreds of cheering strangers? Gok aims to find out as he sends her out onto the runway, ready to display her new-found confidence in nothing but some very revealing lingerie...
