Not one but two new Gok Wan interviews!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Gok Wan fans will be thrilled to read these two fab new interviews with Gok.

The first one is from the Daily Record. In it he talks about his new series of Gok’s Fashion Fix and how he got his hands on the wardrobes of Janet Street Porter and Kirstie Allsopp for the series.

He also gives his thoughts on Trinny and Susannah:

“I bumped into Trinny when I filmed Celebrity Apprentice. I had never met her before. I called her a posh bird, but jokes aside, I thought she was very kind, sincere and accommodating.

“People want me to have a big row with them, and it’s not my style.

“I wish I could say Trinny came along with her big Gucci handbag and then slapped me around the face when I met her - but she didn’t! She was lovely.”

Ah Gok, kind as ever!

He also completed the Guardian’s ‘This much I know’ interview.

Fave quote:

“People think you go home and be a celeb, sipping Laurent-Perrier and listening to classical music. You don’t. You go home and wash some pants in the sink.”

Classic!

Gok Wan does something funny for money

So did you see Gok Wan on Celebrity Apprentice?

Although he was clearly a bit stressed at times I thought he did a great job, doing all the decor and sorting all the outfits for the dancers. And it was really nice to see him more in his usual personality compared to how shaken he seemed on ‘Too Fat Too Young’. So funny!

I personally thought that the boys’ ‘Swap Belt’ was a much better product than the girls’ ‘Stick Stuck’ but I guess they fell down, like many a team on the Apprentice, on their financial calculations.

Shame Alan Carr had to get fired… he really makes me laugh. Any one else think he sounds just like Zippy? :)

Comic Relief 2009 Line-up

The official Apprentice blog has the scoop on the celebrities’ first task for Sir Alan.

They have to design a toy and create an accompanying ad campaign, then pitch it to the gurus.

I love how Gok’s really working that red nose in this pic!

It’s going to be on TV BBC1 Thursday 12 March 9pm and Friday 13 from 7pm - don’t miss it!

Gok Wan not on the girls’ side for once…

Friday, February 13th, 2009

If, like me, you want to be kept bang up to date on everything Gok Wan gets up to in this year’s Celebrity Apprentice, you’ll want to keep an eye on the official Apprentice blog.

It looks like Sir Alan is sticking to his usual formula of encouraging a girls v boys battle of the sexes, meaning, for once, Gok will be against rather than for women.

It’s definitely going to be essential viewing!

New interview with Gok Wan

The Irish Indpendent has a great new interview with Gok Wan

As well as a run down of Gok Wan’s ever so busy career to date there’s a juicy little bit of info at the end about Alan Carr, with whom he is soon to appear in Celebrity Apprentice 2009.

When questioned whether he fancied Alan , Gok had this to say:

“I know Alan very well… He’s adorable; he’s so funny and entertaining and makes me laugh.” There’s a pause, “so yes, actually, I do fancy him”.

Maybe romance will blossom in the Celebrity Apprentice flat?  :)

Gok Wan to take part in Celebrity Apprentice 2009

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

This is very exciting news. Gok Wan is going to be one of 8 celebrities taking part in a special Comic Relief edition of the Apprentice series with Alan Sugar. I’d love to see how Gok reacts to Sir Alan in the boardroom. I’ll bet with a whole heap of cheeky comebacks - don’t let me down now Gok!

And the other participants? Jack Dee, Gerald Ratner, Patsy Palmer, Carol Vorderman, Ruby Wax, Michelle Mone, Fiona Phillips, Jonathan Ross and Alan Carr. :)

This sounds almost too good to be true - I do hope my sources are correct.  I bet Gok Wan and Ruby Wax get on like a house on fire - can you imagine?

Gok Wan for Celebrity Apprentice 2009!
