Competition winner Pat gets Gok’d… by Gok Wan

Competition winner Pat gets Gok’d... by Gok Wan

WHEN glasses wearer and ambulance service allocator Pat Pugsley was woken up to a phone call saying she’d won a specs-styling session with fashion guru Gok Wan, she couldn’t believe her luck.

But when she woke up a second time, having fallen back to sleep, she thought the whole thing had been a dream.

She says: “I’d worked the night before so was fast asleep when they called me.

“When they told me I’d won the Echo competition I was thrilled, if a little dazed and confused, but once the phone call ended I went back to bed.

“Waking up a few hours later, I wasn’t sure whether I’d dreamt the whole thing. It was very surreal.”

Fifty-six-year-old Pat from Talbot Green met up with Gok at Cardiff’s Kuku Club last Monday to claim her prize.

Choosing from 13 new styles which he’s recently added to his popular GW by Gok Wan range for Specsavers, the TV star picked out a pair which he thought were best suited to Pat’s face shape, appearance and personality.

How to look good whatever your age and size with Gok Wan's style tipsTV’s favourite stylist Gok Wan exclusively reveals how to make the most of your shape, whatever your age and size.

He’s the man who has made women fall in love with their bodies using tricks, styling techniques and fabulous tailoring.

Here TV’s favourite stylist Gok Wan exclusively reveals how to make the most of your shape, whatever your age and size..

What are your style solutions for women of different ages and sizes?

There’s only one solution for everyone, which is the fact that you all have the same issues regardless of your age.

How you feel in your 20s is no different to how you feel in your 50s.

All the considerations that come into how you feel about yourself – your body, clothing and overall image – are exactly the same as they were when you were younger but it just means that your body has changed slightly.

You need to get to know it and form a relationship with it.

Doing it Chinese style!

Posted on March 7th, 2012 in About Me,TV

Made In China

Tonight watch my new one-off documentary ‘Made in China’. Follow me as I travel back to my ancestral home to explore the largely unseen world of Chinese mass production where they make everything from toothbrushes to mobile phones and even London black cabs. I also popped in to see the locals at the village that Poppa Wan grew up in- and they really are all as small as I thought! But what you’re really going to love is my cheeky visit to Bra Town where they make millions of bra’s even up to a size 52DD – now they are some serious bangers! Love it!
Hope you enjoy it my lovelies!

Posted on March 1st, 2012 in Press Cuttings

The World of Difference Induction Day: Meeting the Stars

Yesterday was a huge day for World of Difference, and we saw the lucky 500 World of Difference charity winners getting together for the first time. They found out more about the programme, and got to meet patrons Gok Wan, Simon Weston and Lisa Potts. It was an excellent day, with lots of inspiring people.

The induction day for the 500 winners of the World of Difference charity was held at Newbury Racecourse. We got the chance to meet hundreds of inspiring people setting off on a journey that will change their lives forever. More importantly, it will be a journey that will change the lives of lots of other people – people who aren’t in a position to help themselves.

The winners also met some inspiring people who have an impressive track record when it comes to setting up charities, helping out people and facing up to and beating adversity.
