Jacqueline, Katrina and Lisa, the first three brides-to-be
Jacqueline, Katrina and Lisa, the first three brides-to-be

Episode One
This week’s contenders for their dream dress are 25-year-old Katrina, 40-year-old Jacqueline and 27-year-old Lisa Lazell.

Katrina Payne is a Welsh WAG-in-waiting and while hubby-to-be Gareth is aiming for his next goal, she is also scoring … her next drink. Katrina is a binge-drinker, sometimes downing three bottles of wine a night. Carb-craving Katrina knows that she doesn’t look like the other WAGs at the club and the thought of squeezing into her beautiful designer wedding gown fills her with dread.

Jacqueline Webster from Glasgow has an almost perfect life, with an adorable son, a loving fiancé and a beautiful home, but she also has a rather imperfect extra three stone. Her downfall is eating out, and she also loves butter.

Lisa and her fiancé Gary are born again virgins, having decided on separate bedrooms until their wedding day and Gary has never seen Lisa naked. Visiting her local take-away at least five times a week has taken its toll and though Lisa’s hopes Gary will find her worth the wait, she’s worried that he’ll be amazed for all the wrong reasons when he finally sees her love handles.
