Series 3: Sonya Pettigrew
Sonya Pettigrew | Sonya's Makeover | Sonya's Outfits | Up on the CatwalkSonya Pettigrew
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.
Worst of all, this has started to affect her relationship with adoring husband Yestin – he’s even forced on to the sofa to sleep as Sonya can’t bear to be seen naked in her boudoir.
So what can be done to help Sonya overcome her bad body image? Well first our girl is going to need a Gok shock to get things back in proportion. Having refused to look at her reflection in the mirror (even when teaching a ballet lesson!) Gok’s going to give Sonya the low-down on her body in his mirror suite.
Next up, having run a poster of Sonya up the mainmast of a ship in her local town of Brighton, it’s time for Sonya to hear what the locals really think of her ample assets. There’s no need for Gok to go fishing for compliments here – they flow fast and freely!
With a stunning new wardrobe and some hot catwalk moves, Sonya is ready to take to the runway for her very own fashion extravaganza. But when the moment of truth arrives will this dancing queen be able to walk the walk in just her underwear?
