DJ and music entrepreneur Simon Dehany takes his style cues from the Bible. Long, lank, centrally parted hair and a straggly, greying face-full of fur do nothing for his appearance other than pile on the years.

He swaps water for wine and beer, confessing that he’s contributed in a large way to binge-drinking Britain. Fifteen years of smoking have left him with receding gums and teeth coated in a brown film. And when it comes to clothes he hasn’t got a clue. A hundred pop pickers at a record fair guess he’s 49. But they’re miles off: he’s only 35.

Simon needs a miracle, and this one comes in three-inch heels and a flash of red: Nicky Hambleton-Jones, along with her cosmetic disciples, gets to work on the deforestation and restyling of Simon. Broken thread veins brought on by the booze are zapped and his nicotine-coloured teeth jet washed. His hair is cut and styled, he’s buffed and groomed to within an inch of his life and finally the beard is sheared. And in a fashion first for Simon, he even gets to sport a man-bag. It’s a whole new world.
