Gok meets Zoe Cobden, a 27-year-old London girl and a fine figure of a woman, but like most females she just can’t see it.

It’s Gok’s mission to give Zoe the style and confidence to work her body and to show her how to dress it. And he's not holding back this week - ‘You look 104 years old and like you’re going camping,’ he says, berating her for beige attire.
