Susan Sharpe
In episode one, we meet 46-year-old Susan Sharpe from Yorkshire. At size 16, she’s the average for a British woman, but she feels that her curves are out of control. 'It would take about six bottles of wine,' says Susan, 'to get me into a dress.' In fact, she hates her body so much that she never looks in a full-length mirror and hasn’t let her husband Robert see her naked for five years.

Not only has Gok got to make her look good with her clothes on, he's also got to show her how to look good with them off.

His first challenge is to get Susan down to her baggy smalls in front of three enormous mirrors. But no sooner has she faced one fear, than Gok makes her confront another. Can he manage to get Susan into a dress, without resorting to alcohol?

Fantastic clothes that suit your body shape are a good start, but they're no use unless you're wearing the right underwear. Gok's advice is to dress from the outside in, and get fitted by someone who knows what they're doing. He takes her to see the grande dame of underwear - June Kenton.

About 85% of women wear the wrong-sized bra, and Susan is no exception. It's the first time her boobs have been measured for nearly 20 years and Susan is shocked to hear that the bra she’s been wearing is a massive six inches too big and four cup sizes too small. Beauty is indeed in the eye of a good boulder-holder. Bye bye droopy bangers!

Each week, the show is on a quest to test some of the most talked about beauty treatments on the market and to answer one big question - can they make you look good naked? Susan gets a head-to-toe spree of her own to make her body look as good as it ever will without going under the knife - a new haircut, a pampering treatment and a top-of-the-range streak-free spray tan.
