YOU ARE WHAT YOU WEAR

-

BBC1, 8pm A SERIES with sass, and beautifull­y accessoris­ed, this makeover show takes the old Trinny, Susannah, Gok-type format and gives it a splash of Queer Eye.

This has its own Fab Five – style experts so trendy they’d put most of the population’s lockdown loungewear chic straight in the dustbin.

But don’t worry, they’re not here to judge us.

They are here to make over willing participan­ts with wardrobe dilemmas.

Host Rylan Clark-Neal declares: “Imagine the department store of your dreams, where all body shapes and style dilemmas are catered for. This is clothes shopping like you’ve never experience­d before.”

Each week, four “customers” who are fed-up with the frump are pounced upon by one of the experts – style blogger Kat, fashion designer Joey, fashion editor Lucie, celeb stylist Nana or fashion columnist Darren.

They give each person four new looks. This is after Rylan has taken them to the “mirror room” to assess themselves and occasional­ly reveal a sob story.

Meanwhile, the other stylists sit back on perfectly placed sofas next to carefully chosen interior decor and gossip about what’s going on.

Every now and again there are skits of Rylan fawning over himself in the mirror and the odd fashion tip from a stylist.

It’s all surprising­ly engaging, occasional­ly emotional and full of those big makeover reveals that always make for good telly.

In tonight’s episode, PE teacher Rachael has 90 pairs of trainers and is always in her tracksuit, while warehouse worker Karen worries she’ll trip in heels.

Meanwhile, 6ft 5in salesman Chris only wears black and 5ft 3in Manny is sick of wearing

kids’ clothes.
