Style icon, Gok Wan, used to weigh 21 stone as a teenager and is well aware of the prejudices fat children face. He's determined to examine the reasons behind Britain's growing rate of childhood obesity.
On a visit to his old secondary school Gok recalls the first time he had to do PE: "I got so upset I wet myself and had to go home. I was so scared."
Suddenly, it's clear to Gok, this isn't just a film about fat kids. It will force him to face his own demons and revisit painful memories he's spent years trying to forget. "This is harder than I ever imagined it was going to be," he says, soberly, "there's no way I thought I'd feel like this. Like I'm a fat person sitting in a thin person's body."
