My Gok rant

Whose idea was Gok’s latest programme - Miss Naked Beauty?

Gok Wan

While watching the telly on Tuesday night I flicked, purely by accident, onto Gok’s new programme, Miss Naked Beauty. Now, I usually like his shows but this one had me so enraged I wanted to chuck the controls at the telly!

Why? Where do I start, perhaps at the point when all the contestants were at an Essex nightclub asking girls to take their make up off, while Gok stood there caked in the stuff.

As far as I could tell from the view from my sofa he had bronzer contouring his cheekbones, lipstick accentuating his lips and eyeliner defining his eyes.

So, could someone please tell me why he is making a whole programme about how ‘girlfriends’ shouldn’t wear make up just because the beauty industry tells them to? Because clearly he is not practicing what he is preaching.
