Gok Wan
Gok Wan, presenter of the How to Look Good Naked television series, tells us his story of how he came to be where he is today. He describes his early years growing up in a housing estate in Leicester, practically living in his parent’s Chinese restaurant. As a teenager, being Asian, gay and, at one stage weighing 21 stone, Gok was an easy target for bullying.
Gok’s story of his battle with anorexia and how he reinvented himself is both humorous and touching. Truly inspirational and highly readable, Through Thick and Thin reads exactly the way Gok sounds when he is talking – so, thoroughly entertaining, but beware of the occasional F-bomb!
