I'D NOT managed to catch Channel 4's How to Look Good Naked before last night.

But I'd read about this Gok Wan character who miraculously transforms frumpy tired housewives into sex sirens without so much as hinting that they'd be better laying off the Ben & Jerry's and shedding a couple of pounds.

I assumed he was a bit of a glory-hunter, seducing the women into posing in their birthday suits at the end of the programme just to get his designer spectacle-clad face in the headlines.

But after last night's show I'm a convert.

At one point I almost clambered onto the sofa and shouted "you go girlfriend" as he helped create a beautiful swan out of ugly duckling Helen Thompson.

Helen, 37, had been a mistress of disguise, hiding her gigantic boobs under layers of chunky size 20 knitwear.

After having her children Helen had shrunk from a smart snappy dresser to a shadow of her old self who bought clothes online.

But once in the experienced hands of Gok she began to realise carrying a bit of baby weight and having boobs that Jordan wouldn't frown at wasn't the worst thing in the world.

Gok travelled the length and breadth of the country to discover what real women really felt about their boobs.

And presented with the evidence, was able to make our Helen finally see and understand what difference a good bra can make.

And all this without grabbing bosoms, ripping off knickers or making his victims stand in a 360 degree mirror. What a guy.
