...but I have just done the body shape thing on his website and I think he is bang on. Also all the advice he gives is q good.

Plus I love being called a Bewitchign Butterly - much cooler than a bloody vase.

However, i have boobs and not bangers or norks.

I want to see what he looked like fat - I can't find pics anywhere. I just can't imagine it.

Thats a great link, I am pleased to know that most of my clothes are the right ones for my shape!!
I think he is lovely, I wish I had him as a shopping companion, and as an ego boost on a fat day

I'm sorry - "..a cap sleeve is a useful option if you've got bingo wing issues" hmm?!?!

Perhaps if you want to highlight your bulges... and I see he recommends wrap dresses and empire lines for apples - double hmm!

Much as I think he's fab and would love to go out clubbing with him, I think the fashion advice for us 'alluring apples' is sadly lacking!

They're looking for participants for the next series at the moment. I am SO tempted to apply, but feel that if I were to get the opportunity to hug Gok after he called me his 'gorgeous girl' I might never let him go. Solicitors would probably get involved, it would all turn messy....

Oh it's ok, I am not thick. There was a stupid pop-up advert covering the bit I had to click on. Apparently I am a classic cone and am the same shape as super models. Yeah right hmm

I notice that both him and trinny and susannah say my fanous body type is Oprah Winfrey.

I am a bewitching butterfly which soundbetter than a cello but the basic shape is the same.

I think I must've done it wrong.
I am a very large pear shape. In fact, I'm almost spherical. Apples have bigger middles and thin arms and legs, don't they? That is not me.

Yes, its great to know you are like Oprah! I just love how positive he is, when so much media crap gives women hang ups. I suppose it does not sound seedy from a gay chap.

RR is a fag hag!

I saw some of his fat pics in a magazine recently, he was pretty big.

Bangers are sausages, not breasts.

He gets on nerves, and is bound to be a closet body fascist.

I wish Gok would 'do' someone who actually was fat instead of all those thin people who just think they are!

I'd love to see him find clothes for people (like me) who buy stuff because it fits and not for any aesthetic qualities it might have. And (pet peeve) SHOES for wide feet - his solution to everything is often 'dress it up with a nice pair of heels' - but if your feet are wider than an E fitting, all you can get are flat boat-shaped objects with all the charm of your gran's orthopedic numbers...

All that talk of bangers just makes me want to eat sausages, and that doesn't do a lot for my body shape.

Still, according to the website, I pretty much wear the right things for my shape (buxom beauty). I must have some sort of special talent to look like a bag of spanners nonetheless. Especially when I'm apparently the same shape as Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie.

the bangers thing makes me cringe

Its annoying the lack of information for "apples". Whenever magazines do "what you should wear" type articles there is never anything matching apple shaped people and it does my head in angry. I would so love to know what to wear and can't find the help anywhere

There was a picture of him when he was fat in the Sunday Times magazine about 5 or 6 weeks ago.

I had a quick look the other day and found it quite interesting, and now I can't see it sad

Useless. These things always put me in the "boyish" category and tell me how to create curves when what I want is to disguise my belly and waist. It seems I am the only woman in the world who is neither slim nor curvy.

I've warmed to him a little.

All the bangers, bristols, rack rubbish get son my wick.
He chooses some pretty tawdry clothes.
