Gok defends new show
Gok Wan has defended his new show Miss Naked Beauty after it was claimed he humiliated his contestants.
The show is a modern twist on classic beauty pageants and sees 200 women stripped bare to see their true colours.
But in one episode, women were blasted with a water hose in an attempt to take their make-up off.
The TV stylist, who rose to fame presenting How To Look Good Naked, said: "Never at one point are the girls put in any danger and never were they put into an area where they were so vulnerable, they wouldn't have been able to cope.
"This show is going to be provoking controversy because of the nature of the show. What we're doing is turning around and saying, 'right, stand up to everything that we believe, stand up to everything that we've been told over the years and form a new opinion'.
"And the new opinion is, you can be naturally beautiful and gorgeous."
