He also had a lingerie range at UK-based firm SimplyYours. Wan went on to present a documentary which was first broadcast on 27 January , entitled Too Fat Too Young , which examined overweight children in the UK. He reflected on his experience of being obese to help several teenagers. His red wrap dress sold at a rate of one every 24 seconds.
The range ran into 24 collections and Wan was also their Style Ambassador. In autumn , Wan presented Baggage , which was broadcast on Channel 4. As part of his role, he presented an Australian TV show titled Target, Style The Nation , this one-hour program shows Gok transform the appearances of five women.
In June , Wan attended Royal Ascot for the first time as fashion presenter alongside racing presenter Clare Balding on Channel 4 Racing and has done similar with a number of other racecourses around the UK.
He also presents various weekly fashion features, and travel documentaries, including a trip with his Dad to explore two different sides to Hong Kong, covering food, family and fashion. Survival was my first priority but as I have got older, I have got slightly obsessed about learning. Readily admitting he hated his freedom being taken away, Gok, who has always kept private whether he has a partner or not, laughs as he says he decided to turn lockdown on its head by learning a new skill - going from a couch potato to running 5k comfortably.
Running definitely helped me through the situation. Looking healthy and relaxed, Gok reveals that aside from feeling good about himself, he has shed weight. My bum has lifted for the first time in my life too! Roaring with laughter, he says he has deliberately shared updates with his 2. Each week, he will be sharing how to make his favourite recipes. He filmed the programme at his London home because of Covid restrictions but he says he now realises that was a blessing in disguise.
When you are dressing a woman on the fashion programmes, she is the leading lady. When it comes to East Asia, I have to go front of stage. I want it to be the four of us like it was for this series and basically a food youth club!
Given Gok is most famous for helping women overhaul their wardrobes with his brilliant style advice, does he want to ditch the makeovers for more TV cooking in the future? I want to help people feel happy. After suffering so many body issues in the past, it's heart-warming hearing Gok chat excitedly today about his life. Content and in a good place, he admits, however, he has to work hard to maintain his newly found happy equilibrium. In fact, he doesn't stop.
When it comes down to it, family is all that matters. Lockdown has also shown me how much I need my family around me, their energy; they give me the breath in my body. They all mean the world to me. The series thrust me into the limelight after working with celebrities as a fashion stylist. It made me look at my craft and skill and I had to suddenly learn how to present and talk on camera.
I am on the same journey as everyone else. I am not saying it is easy and that I wake up with everything fixed though. I still need to work hard at everything. Work is my biggest addiction. I have always been very thankful that I love what I do. But I also enjoy relaxing at home with my French bulldog Dolly and my friends.
I can turn my hand to quite a lot of things and make a success out of them — because I am determined and I am focused.
