About the Show

In their attempt to uncover emerging body trends and Britain's vital statistics, Trinny and Susannah obtain tips from The Great British Body booth and information from the body audit to reveal what men and women find most attractive in the opposite sex.

Susannah says, "Above all we really want to understand how people feel about their bodies. The British public suffer from a negative view about the nation's body shape - that we're overweight, unattractive, that we feel pressurised to look a certain way.

"So we want people to really look at themselves objectively, they'll then realise that it's not that way at all."

The girls took a DNA test for programme, along with over100 other volunteers, as part of an investigation in to so-called fat gene FTO.

Susannah was delighted to discover that she does not have the gene, while Trinny does.

Trinny was surprised, but suspects it comes from her father's side of the family.

"I am a healthy eater, and feel it makes no difference to how I will maintain my figure from now on as I am happy with it already."

The girls also visit the site of their giant naked sculpture and meet the designer, before heading in search of the man and woman whose bodies will be immortalised in the sculpture.

Susannah explains, "The emphasis of The Great British Body series is to encourage the nation that regardless of a person's shape and size, as a country we should learn to appreciate our bodies and what nature bestowed upon us!"
