Gok's fronting a teenage body confidence campaign - and he really needs your help.
We really need your help, and time is running out.
We need as many names as possible before Christmas, and, as of 17 November, the total was 48,472. The great news is that we're the fourth biggest petition on the Number 10 website - but we want to be number one!
This means that, thanks to your help, things are moving in the right direction; but, if we can go beyond this, we can get the petition even more visible. Please ask your friends and family to help, and we can climb even higher!
To all of you who have supported the petition so far, Gok's filmed a special message. Take a look:
As part of the new series of How to Look Good Naked, Gok has charged the winner of Miss Naked Beauty 2008 - Shona Collins - with running a petition to parliament calling for a body confidence lesson to be included in all school curriculums.
Shona and Gok want to know what you think of the idea and what experiences you've had with body confidence issues. You can upload a video to YouTube and if Gok and Shona like it enough it might even appear on the show, and on howtolookgoodnaked.com.
'When I first started filming How to Look Good Naked I had no idea of the body hatred epidemic,' says Gok.
'After five years filming the show I feel confident that a difference can be made. We need to teach the next generation that what we see in the media is not a fair representation of the real body.'
Shona has spent the last few months investigating young girls' body image issues and has been speaking to parents, teachers and teenagers.
'It was shocking to me how depressed and down young girls are about their appearance and body shapes. Girls want the schools to 'catch up' with the pressures on teenage lives and address the issues openly. Body confidence issues are one of their biggest worries,' she says.
Later this year the petition will be presented to policy makers at Downing St to try and secure body confidence on the PSHE syllabus.
