How To Look Good Naked presenter, Gok Wan, has revealed that he makes any of his job applicants clean his flats before he decides whether or not to hire them.

“It’s a really good way of finding out about that person’s sense of style as well as picking up on other skills they might have,” Gok told Take It Easy magazine.

“You can teach people to sew, set up a fashion shoot, send emails, deal with the media, but what you can’t teach is a sense of style. You’ve either got it or you haven’t, it’s as simple as that.”

Gorgeous Gok also revealed that for a lot of his teenage years he drifted, with no idea of what he wanted to do with his life. Read more & comment »

Channel 4 style guru, Gok Wan, has admitted that he would love to get his hands on the cast of a British soap opera, and smarten the whole bunch up!

Ahead of his new C4 series launching next week, he said: “I would like to do a revamp of a soap. In America they are impeccably dressed. Over here they all wear the most awful clothes. I would like to get down and dirty with them and make them look like Hollywood starlets.”

Gok also revealed today that he has asked if he can get Brad Pitt for his new clothes show, due to launch this summer.

Gok Wan is to launch an all new clothes show this summer on Channel 4, and he has revealed that he would just love Brad Pitt to take part.

“I’m terrible, I’m letting my groin lead me on this. I’ve told the celeb booker who’s cute.”

Now I don’t want to dash any hopes here, but much as Gok may want to style Brad, I just don’t see it happening!
