how the fuck did gok wan get so successful

[ggirl]

he's so irritating
and his makeovers are all crap and samey

[iclaudius]

Bring back trinny and susannah I love them!

[Icelollycraving]

I really liked him when he was first on TV. I think he's turned into a caricature of himself.
I know a few people who know him,they think he's ok.

[Lizzabadger]

I think he is nasty. I read an interview where he said that sometimes ex-contestants email him to let him know how they are getting on and apparently he finds this really needy and has to blank them!

[EliotNess]

They did a mn tv thing. Was dire

[TheMoonOnAStick]

I don't mind him but the Sainsburys Gok clothes are terrible.

For all his faults he's not as terrifying as Trinny and Susannah - remember that ghastly 360degree mirror room they used to make people go into in their undies then humiliate them. Or Nicky Hambleton Jones. Gawd help us she was scary.

[Still18atheart]

I agree with Kaluki
Probs going to get flamed for this

But imo if he was straight no way would he present naked makeovers without being called a pervert etc. But because he's gay it's seen as alright.

[cafenoir]

Binary :)

And milk I thought that when all the 'normal women' came out. They all looked like models.

[BinarySolo]

Mums net makeover show would be ace! I'd especially look forward to the part where the participants were handed a pair of scissors and told to cut their own hair.

[JedwardScissorhands]

So who is going to pitch the mumsnet makeover to a TV company?!

Stylish clothes you can wear everyday, not a bloody evening dress "cinched in at the waist?. He can fuck off with the cinching.

[higgle]

The clothes he dressed the models in were all hideous and totally lacking in character. he was really quite rude to the petite mode ( who was by far the most attractive). When he said there was a variety of women in the 50 wearing bikinis I waited for a middle aged one who had obviously had children to come out, they all looked about 19.

I really disliked this new show, it all seemed hurried and scrappy, I didn't think the main make over lady looked any better with her new clothes than her old ones ( provided she had taken her coat off and stood up straight)

[milk]

I was so angry at the end of the show when he said he would bring out his "normal sized models" and then walked on a bunch of super skinny young women

[trice]

I liked his cooking show. I have no issue with the bangers thing trinny&susanna did exactly the same. I think it is just what sells a TV show.

If you want to look good get your hair cut, stand up straight and smile.

[noddyholder]

He is crap at clothes although seems to cook a mean chicken chow mein. I think he finds women who are insecure and then he pretends to be their best gay friend. They are so side lined by the glamour of it all and being on the telly they lose their marbles and start wearing shrugs and shoes with bows on. Then they take their clothes off and waddle down some shopping centre wearing big stiff underwear and fake tan and a rose in their hair. Bloody ridiculous

[EliotNess]

i do think the message is " youll feel better if you take your clothes off" is a bit

[EliotNess]

i think he doesnt really style, he has women to do that

[BinarySolo]

I think his obsession with big women stems from his own body hang ups and being so big himself in he past. I liked the thing he did about china.

I think he's genuine. I worked in a court where his sister came in as a solicitor and she was lovely.

[PattieOfurniture]

Well, I was about to jump on this thread and defend him but as I've read these posts I've found myself nodding along and agreeing with them.
Now I'm not so sure

Saying that, once I watched a programme about him and how he dealt with being gay and overweight, when they showed a video of him big he called himself a 'fat fuck' which then made me

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

I still like him though....

In my defence I never watch his fashion shows, I just like him

[NicknameIncomplete]

Oh thank god. I thought i was the only one who thought this.

Every program ends up with a different person in the SAME type of outfit looking like they are off to a wedding not doing the supermarket shop. Its impractical bollocks.

[Bunbaker]

He always chooses such impractical and uncomfortable looking clothes. Skin tight jeans that you can't sit down in, shoes you can't walk in, short sleeves that are only suitable for high summer.

I wish he was more realistic and could give sensible style tips on how to look good on the school run in wintery Yorkshire.

He is obsessed with larger ladies as well. Not everyone with body issues is overweight and I wish he showed how women lacking in curves could look good as well.

[Kaluki]

I think he has serious issues. I'd knock him out if he groped me like that!!
I'm always a bit suspicious of gay men like him. It's like he uses it as an excuse to overstep the boundaries of personal space - it's ok for him to grab your breasts - he's gay after all
And he makes everyone look the same regardless if their personality or personal style.
He's creepy!

[Bumpotato]

If he's actually properly gay I'll eat my slimming shorts!

[Cherrypie32]

Oh and he didn't call them bangers last night, kept saying get the 'girls' out - awful.
