TV stylist Gok Wan has worked his magic on four postal workers from Skipton.
Rachel Woods, 37, Wendy Hilary, 41, Melanie Granger, 41, and Jennie Ward, 34, all received a makeover as part of the Channel 4 show Gok’s Clothes Roadshow.
The women, who all deliver post in Skipton, contacted the programme after seeing an appeal for participants in the Craven Herald.
Rachel, who lives in Barnoldswick, said: “Wendy printed out the application forms for the show and we filled them in.
“It was really exciting when we were chosen. We were whisked off to Leeds and Harrogate. We were taken shopping and had our make-up and hair done.”
The show’s flamboyant presenter visited the women at the Skipton sorting office and met up with them several times to offer advice during their transformation.
Their new look was revealed at the Harrogate International Centre before they were asked to take part in a catwalk show.
“Gok told us we would be going out on the catwalk on the last day,” said Rachel. “It was absolutely terrifying, but all our family and friends were there to support us.”
Rachel said taking part in the show had been a positive experience for everyone.
“Meeting Gok was great,” she said. “He was really lovely. He brightened us up and made us feel like girls again.
“It has changed us all. We do feel a lot more confident now. We were all stuck in a rut and we were blending in a little bit because we wear the same uniform as the men. Wherever we go now people say how nice we look.
“They let us keep the clothes and I have got some fantastic new outfits. They changed my hair colour and I think I will keep up with it, as it looks a lot nicer.”
The episode filmed in Skipton was shown on Tuesday.
They look lovely anyway!
