Fashion guru Gok Wan is back, continuing his mission to bring body confidence and top style to the people of Britain. The new run kicks off with a series first, as Gok gets his hands on social recluse Simon Wainwright and undertakes his first ever male makeover. Thirty-five-year-old Simon was diagnosed with Sheuermann's Disorder, a curvature of the spine when he was 14, and in March 2008 he underwent life changing surgery to correct the 96 degree curve. But what should have been the start of a new confident life actually made his self-esteem crash to zero when Simon became repulsed by his new body.

Most middle-aged women want to look the way they did when they were in their 20s. But the gospel according to St Gok is that our bodies change and we need to change our hearts and minds along with it. "Face up to the fact you have a real woman's body and learn to love it," Gok tells weepy Adele, who at 40 thinks she's gone to pot since she gave up figure skating. Clever styling, some serious underwear and a lot more tears later, there's been a monumental transformation. Adele's gone from someone stuck in the 80s (and not in a good way) into someone modern, glamorous and confident.

A 34-year-old mother of one who gained six stone in weight after undergoing major spinal surgery, and was unable to walk for nine months following the operation, receives a confidence boost from Gok Wan. Plus, midwives from Manchester strip down for a girls' night out naked photo-shoot.

Elanda's self esteem hit the wall when the 52-year-old fitness fanatic saw an unflattering picture of herself. Now she lacks the confidence to apply for jobs and her wedding to fiancé Paul is approaching. Could she be Gok Wan's greatest naked catwalk challenge? Plus Nikki and Tash try to raise backing for an advertising campaign featuring a disabled model.

A mother and part-time ballet dancer, 38-year-old April Jewes is convinced her slim, toned dancer's body is anything but womanly, and the recent death of her mother has brought her insecurities to a head. Gok sets out to liberate April from her layers of woollies, but will she be brave enough to hit the catwalk in the role of a major Hollywood icon?

A 44-year-old mother of four who thinks she looks like a man because of her shape and height, receives help from Gok Wan. At 5ft 10, and already a grandmother, she has lost all confidence and hides her body under maternity-style clothes. Plus, Gok and Shona visit a school in Guildford, Surrey, as they continue campaigning to get body confidence taught on the national curriculum.

Antoinette, 32, has become introverted and insecure since she was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago and underwent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, a mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Gok Wan tries to convince Antoinette to celebrate her body and start enjoying life again. Plus Nikki and Tash complete their disability campaign with two leading highstreet stores.

Nearly two years after meeting twins Jeannie and Suzy, Gok returns to find out how the girls are getting on. When we first met mum-of-three Jeannie she hated her stretchmarks and was envious of her twin sister's body. She saw Suzy as a slimmer, sexier version of herself - even though the girls were almost exactly the same size.
