Gok Wan is a man after my own specky heart! Having discovered that large amounts of bespectacled children get bullied in the playground, style guru Gok is taking part in a campaign to make glasses cool.

A Specsavers survey found that almost half of glasses-wearing children suffer name calling, and a fifth are known to have skipped school to avoid the taunts.

So the How To Look Good Naked presenter is urging people to ditch their contact lenses and wear their specs with pride for National Glasses Day on Friday.

Having suffered similar taunting himself as a child Gok said: “Classroom taunts can cause long-term damage to a child’s self-esteem and their education.

“It’s difficult to believe that children are still being called names for wearing glasses, especially considering many celebrities are regularly photographed wearing the latest geek-chic styles.

“I want children to know they are not abnormal, they are not freaks, they are just kids who happen to wear glasses.”
