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.

To get to the bottom of things, Gok's going to have strip this girl bare. Ali's body issues date back to when she was a child, where she always thought of herself as being fat. This negative body image has carried forward, and whilst she still feels and looks like a young girl, it's impossible for her to become a gorgeous, sexy woman.

With Ali's thighs being her biggest body issue, Gok decides to bring along a bevy of beauties to demonstrate that Ali's got things all out of proportion. With her thighs coming in well below the national average, Gok finally convinces Ali that she should be proud of her pins.

To get Ali thinking big, it's time for a Gok shock in her local shopping centre; but can the Camberley public convince this girl that it's time to ditch the caterpillar cover and burst into the world as a beautiful butterfly?

Meanwhile Gok pays a surprise visit to Ali’s house, but for once this fashion aficionado is left lost for words by what he finds - a wall of paintings of Ali looking sexy – but none of the clothes he finds get anywhere what she's parading in her pictures. Having destroyed the dingy knickers, Gok's on a mission to spice up Ali and Matt's sex life, and with some luscious new lingerie, things soon go from pants to panties!

Most of Ali's outfits are beyond redemption, but Gok wants to show her that it’s not always about chucking out your old clothes – a restyling at the hands of Gok's stylist scissors soon has Ali's old ball dress bang up to date, but they’ll be no sign of that when Gok gets her to get her kit off in front of a room full of strangers – a massive challenge for a girl that only a few short weeks ago wouldn't even get naked in front of her boyfriend!

And then there's Ali's big moment – with the audience waiting and boyfriend Matt cheering her on, can she convert that confidence and wow the crowd on the catwalk?
