0:00:36 > 0:00:40And be warned, she's bitchier than ever.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42POD computes you look orange.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- SHE LAUGHS - I look brown.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Orange.- Brown.- Orange!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- I look brown.- ORANGE!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Armed with new data, POD's natural beauty antennae
0:00:54 > 0:00:57have been twitching off the scale with alarming results.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00From Liverpool to Manchester, from Newcastle to Cardiff,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03each week, we'll cross-examine the culprits
0:01:03 > 0:01:05who've turned their backs on natural beauty.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- BOTH:- POD, please let us in.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10In our first-ever Snog, Marry, Avoid? national tour.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13What's going on here?! You've got your rollers in!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16POD will also set me the challenge of personally sampling
0:01:16 > 0:01:19the very worst local style disasters.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21There's people outside laughing at me.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23You want it really hard!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26You can do better than that. I know you can.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Well, if you can't beat them, I suppose you have to join them.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Welcome to a brand-new Snog, Marry, Avoid?
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- Hiya, POD. It's me. - Hi, Ellie, please enter.- Thank you.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- Hello, POD.- Hi, Ellie, how are you? - I'm excited! We're in Newcastle!
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- And what is Newcastle famous for? - This...
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- BAD GEORDIE ACCENT: - You're reet oop ma street, pet, man.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I've no clue what that was, apart from bad.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04That's my Cheryl Cole impression.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07POD computes that Cheryl Cole is more famous
0:02:07 > 0:02:08for her hugely ridiculous hair.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11That was hugely ridiculous hair I just did.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- I'm sure you could go bigger. - Do you want me to have my hair done?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I have two missions for you, Ellie -
0:02:17 > 0:02:19find out what Geordie style is all about
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and why the women of Newcastle like to have massive helmet hair.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Oh, totes up for a Cheryl-over,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27as long as I don't have to divorce a footballer or anything.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- The mission is helmet hair, Ellie. Not boys.- OK, I won't. See you later.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Coming up on tonight's show -
0:02:34 > 0:02:37we meet a girl whose look is so disastrous,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39it's destroying her parents' house.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42We've got orange clothes, orange bedsheets,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45orange tiles, orange grout. The house is just orange.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Life's so much better when you've got a tan.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50We hit the streets of Newcastle,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53where I discover what true Geordie style is all about.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56On a night out, a small dress or small skirt, hotpants,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58showing my tattoos off.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03And POD will meet the Toon's worst beauty offenders. Why aye, man.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You want a nice, big bird's nest on the top of your head,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08otherwise it's just not worth stepping out of your door.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13And, finally, we meet Cumbria's answer to Kim Kardashian.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Gorgeous!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Or should that be JIM Kardashian?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19It's being that long since I've been a boy,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22I need your help to make me into the old me again.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25The Fog On The Tyne, Brown Ale, Cheryl Cole,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27these are just some of Newcastle's most famous exports.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30And now, you can add this lot to the mix.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35# Let's get ready to rumble... #
0:03:35 > 0:03:38POD, let me in, I've come to talk to you.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41What is the typical look in Newcastle?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Less is more, clothes-wise.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46More make-up is better, though.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47You want to stand out from the crowd,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50you want to just put fabulous heels on like these, darling.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I mean, without heels, you're nothing.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56On a night out, small dress or small skirt, hotpants,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59showing my tattoos off,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01anything glittery, sparkly -
0:04:01 > 0:04:05it really has to stand out and, like, fit the night out.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Tell me what your opinion is about Newcastle style.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10They wear limited clothes, but I like it.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Really tangoed orange, like really massive, massive hair.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- Like too much backcombing. - Big eyelashes.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Yeah, so you can't see out of your eyes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The Geordie girls' style seems to quite...fake.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27A lot of hairspray, a lot of fake tan, fake eyelashes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Big hair is the best.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32You want a nice, big bird's nest on the top of your head,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34otherwise it's not worth stepping out of your door.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Next up is a girl who's had more extensions than a council building project
0:04:41 > 0:04:45which means POD will have to sharpen more than just her tongue.
0:04:45 > 0:04:51Hi, my name's Shelley. I'm 17 years old, I'm from Blackburn.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55If I could sum up my style in three words it'd be big, bold and brown.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Big hair, bold colour and brown skin.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I'm one of eight children.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02My brothers and sisters always take the Mick,
0:05:02 > 0:05:03they always call me orange.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- What?- Please can I go to the toilet, I'm bursting!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Josh, I'm doing me make-up.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13She spends about four hours a day doing fake tan, make-up
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and putting extensions in.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I love my daughter, she's fantastic looking
0:05:17 > 0:05:20but I just need it toned down a little bit.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Not too much orange and a little bit reserved and she'd look gorgeous.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I love big hair. All of my hair is extensions.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I've got about 26 clips in my head. It's cost a bomb.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I do drive my mum up the wall with the fake tan,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I leave marks everywhere, she hates it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Life's so much better when you've got a tan.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Got orange clothes, orange bed sheets, orange tiles,
0:05:43 > 0:05:49orange grout, orange towel, orange sponge, the house is just orange.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54She always picks the skimpiest clothes and I would really like
0:05:54 > 0:05:58to see her in something that covers her up a bit cos she's so pretty.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I'd like the make-under because I've got to the point now where
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I don't want to be like this, I want to change.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I want to be normal and I want to be a social worker but I think
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I need a make-under because I don't think people will take me
0:06:11 > 0:06:13seriously looking like this.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Please, POD, help me.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18There's fake tan everywhere, my mum's going mental, I need your help.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Now, a little bird tells me
0:06:23 > 0:06:27that Blackburn's own answer to Rapunzel's over there. Let's have a look.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Step away from the hair extensions, you do not need any more.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35So, tell me about all this hair, Shelley, how long have you been doing it for?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Since I was 12, so that's quite a few years now.- That's really young.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- I know.- Where do you put them at night?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Put 'em on t'floor, looks like I've killed a rat.- That's pretty weird.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- I know.- So, I know you're hoping to go into social work.- Yeah.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50So, I've got some questions to try and help you decide which
0:06:50 > 0:06:54route you're going to go and how your look is going to affect this.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Helping others or tan-stained covers?- Helping others.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- Have you got tan-stained covers at the minute?- Erm. Yeah.- Yes, OK.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Help the needy or dress real seedy? - Help the needy.- Good.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- Community helper or community chest? - Community helper.
0:07:12 > 0:07:18I think it's pretty clear that you want to go down the social work route, which is lovely.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20So, I'm going to let you go and meet your destiny with POD.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Off you go, POD awaits.- Bring it on.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35- I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device. Who are you?- I'm Shelley.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Hello, Shelley.- Hello.
0:07:37 > 0:07:44- Shelley, POD computes you look extremely orange.- Ha! I look brown.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50- Orange.- Brown.- Orange.- I look brown. - Orange!- I look brown.- Orange!
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- No, it's a tan, it's brown.- Orange! Why are you wearing a wig?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- My hair.- Well, it looks like a wig.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- SHE LAUGHS - No!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04What does your family think of your look?
0:08:04 > 0:08:11- They say I'm too orange. - I was right. POD is always correct.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13You really are cheeky, aren't you?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15What do you think other people think of your look?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17They probably think I look like a tart.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Shall we find out what the public think?- Yeah, go on.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Run Phase One - Public Analysis.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29- Shelley.- Yes, POD? - I asked the public if they wanted to snog, marry or avoid this girl.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- What do you think they said? - Probably avoid.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I'd avoid her because she's covered in make-up
0:08:34 > 0:08:36and I don't like girls that are covered in make-up.
0:08:36 > 0:08:43- All girls wear make-up!- I'd probably avoid her. She just looks scruffy.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I look scruffy?!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'd avoid her because she looks like she's got botox
0:08:48 > 0:08:50and she's probably only 18.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Ew, I don't have botox! Where the hell did you find these people?
0:08:55 > 0:08:59In fact, 80% of the public wanted to avoid you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04That's horrible. What did the other percent say?
0:09:04 > 0:09:0620% said they wanted to snog you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07SHE LAUGHS
0:09:07 > 0:09:13- Woop-woop!- Are you ready to hear POD's verdict.- Go on, then.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18POD computes that you need my Orange Car Crash to Lovely Lass Make-under.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Oh, my God, that's a long name for me.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Are you ready for your make-under? - I am ready.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Run Phase Two: Deep Cleanse.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Remove all of your fakery.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It hurts. There's one.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46- There is another three. It's a dead rat.- Delightful(!)
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Oh, my God! Is this some sort of joke?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- That is disgusting.- Yes, you are.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Run the make-under, in three, two, one.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13- Oh, my God! I look well different. I like it.- What do you think?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17It just looks natural and nice, not piled on and orange and horrible.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22I like it all. I look like a different person.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23You look beautiful.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Shall we find out what the public thought of you in this look?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Yeah, go on then.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I asked the public if they would like to snog,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35marry or avoid you looking like this. What do you think they said?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Er...snog.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44- Her hair looks great and I would definitely snog her.- That's nice.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'd snog her. She's got nice thick black hair.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51She applies her make up nice, not too heavy. She has got a nice tan.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Aw, thank you.- I want to snog her because she looks quite pretty.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- That's nice to hear, isn't it? - Yeah, that's nice.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Previously, 80% of the public wanted to avoid you.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Now, 80% of the public want to either snog or marry you.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It feels better knowing everyone would want to do that
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- rather than avoid me. - Thank you, Shelley. Goodbye.- Bye.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I am so nervous that I'm thinking what if I burst into tears and cry
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- because she looks so pretty?- I'm a bit nervous but I'm really excited.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I just can't wait to see what they're going to say.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32THEY GASP IN ADMIRATION
0:11:32 > 0:11:33She looks amazing.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37It felt like somebody had pulled in my heartstrings
0:11:37 > 0:11:42and I saw my daughter that I hadn't seen since she was 12 years old.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I think you look gorgeous. - I'm gobsmacked, me.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48She walked in and I was like, "Who the hell is that?"
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Nobody is doing your false tan any more. You look amazing like that.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Thank you, POD, for changing me and making me feel good about myself.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58You've done a good job. Thank you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Shelley, you look amazing. Give me a hug.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Blimey! Newcastle girls clearly love a big erection, don't they?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I mean, here, dirty things. I'm going to go find out why actually.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24POD has set me the challenge of finding out about Newcastle girls' style.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I have seen a lot of big hair going on. Tell me what that is all about.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Everybody loves Cheryl Cole so they all want the X Factor.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34We have called it the Geordie Blow-dry.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39There are bigger, fuller, wider, curlier. The girls just love it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Do you reckon you could have a crack with mine?- Certainly.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46What are we going for? Regular Geordie Blow-dry? Extra large? Or extreme?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48We'll do it properly. Let's try extreme.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- Girls?- Yes, POD. - Please explain the Geordie Blow-dry.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- You can't go out without it on the weekend.- The bigger the better.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01You can tell by mine.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05If you have flat hair, you will never find a man. Sorry.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07It's the Geordie Blow-dry, POD.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Dream big.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19There is people outside laughing at me.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Oh my gosh!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34That...is something.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I'm not sure POD is going to agree
0:13:37 > 0:13:40but I'm going to see what the people of Newcastle reckon.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Would you find a girl attractive if she had hair like this?
0:13:46 > 0:13:47You look like a tart.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54High-five for big hair.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- What do you think of it? - Yeah, it's really nice.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Would you have it done? - Maybe not as big.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04It looks like you've been in a wind tunnel with it.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- Hello, POD, I've got something to show you.- What have you done?!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Ellie, get in here now!
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Hello, POD. What do you think?! - Oh, my God!
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- POD computes it looks suitably ridiculous.- I think it looks amazing.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's dropped a bit because of the fog on the Tyne,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27but honestly, it's the best thing I've ever done in my life, I think.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Ellie!- Yes. - You know what POD's going to say?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36That I look awesome and I've totally changed your mind?!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Incorrect! - Do I have to take it out?- Please.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- And do it as soon as possible. - All right then.- Off you go!
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Goodbye, Rapunzel! I love you.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Hi, I'm Olivia Dean, I'm 23 from Whitehaven.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56# I'm spinning around
0:14:56 > 0:14:58# Move out of my way... #
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I've been dressing as a woman since I was in my teens,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02and I like to be called Olivia.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07I'm West Cumbria's answer to Kim Kardashian. I mean, she is my idol.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10With that lovely bronze skin and that brunette hair,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12and not forgetting the nude lips and the smoky eyes.
0:15:15 > 0:15:23My look is just very carefree, quite colourful. Maybe daring, some days.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29I just like fake. The more fake I feel, the more I've got confidence.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Gorgeous.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Living in Whitehaven, you would think I was some sort of celebrity.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Everybody just thinks I'm quite strange, really.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Right, we are on a mission. Let's find this jobs page.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Well, my last interview, I thought it went absolutely fine.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I did dress down a little bit, but I didn't get the job.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52I think that's just because I'm not taken seriously with the look I go for.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Being sisters, sisters share,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56but like, she doesn't know what sharing is.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59She like takes my things, but I don't get them back.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03My clothes, my make-up, my nail varnishes. It's terrible.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Please, POD, bring my brother back, so I can get my clothes back.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's been that long since I've been a boy,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I need your help to make me into the old me again.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'm so excited. I am here to meet Olivia, or is it Dean?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24# That's not my name That's not my name... #
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Hello, Miss Olivia Dean, how are you? It's lovely to meet you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Give me a kiss.- How are you?- I'm good. Oh, watch the hair! Weapon!
0:16:32 > 0:16:36So, tell me all about Olivia Dean, how did she begin to exist then?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It first started when I discovered make-up,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and obviously, it's spiralled out of control since then.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44How do you feel to leave the house then without your eyebrows on? They're quite fantastic.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- I know! Scouse brow! - They ARE a Scouse brow. Amazing!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I was having my brows done before anybody else.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53And then everybody's running around with their eyebrow pencil.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- I had it first.- It's the Olivia brow.- The Olivia brow!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58What about fake tan? Do you do that?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Absolutely. If I'm going out, I'll do four tans.- Four tans?!- Yeah.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06And if I'm going out at the weekend, I double up on everything, and look like mahogany!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- You revel in the fact you look like mahogany?!- The darker the better.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11So why exactly do you want POD's help?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14With the look I have now, no-one is willing to employ me.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- So, we're going to take you back to Dean, as opposed to Olivia?- Yeah.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20And how does that make you feel, being Dean?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Because I've been like this for so long, I'm a little bit scared.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28I'm in a stage of my life now where this is a bit too much. For even me.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Do you know what I mean? And I don't know what to do any more.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34OK, well I've got a few questions prepared, just maybe see
0:17:34 > 0:17:37if we can work out exactly what career path you want to take.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Ready? So, there's two choices. Care work or cleaning?
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I would rather do cleaning.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I mean I'm not caring for somebody with a pooey nappy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51- SHE LAUGHS - Fair enough. Caterer or crematorium worker?- Erm...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- You could see dead people?- I don't want to be too involved with food.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- So...- You'd go for the dead people over the sandwiches?- Defs.- Fine.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Lawyer or lollipop lady? - I could see me being a lawyer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Legging it in with a three-piece suit. I'd look a treat!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Legally Olivia. That would be fab. OK, I'm going to leave you now.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- POD awaits.- Nervous!
0:18:19 > 0:18:24I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device. Who are you?
0:18:24 > 0:18:30- Well, I'm Olivia Dean.- Olivia? - Yes, POD.- Something isn't computing.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Please describe your look.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Well, it's fake, it's flirty, obviously.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- I'm a bit easy on the eye. - No, that's not it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I am deducing that Olivia isn't your real name, is it?
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- No, my name is actually Dean. - So, what is Olivia Dean?
0:18:49 > 0:18:55Olivia Dean is a person that has taken over Dean.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- What job do you have, Olivia?- Well, I'm full-time fabulous, obviously!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03POD computes full-time fabulous just means jobless.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08- You'll have to help me.- What kind of work experience do you have?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I used to work for a catalogue company.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16I used to answer the phone and somebody used to ring up
0:19:16 > 0:19:18and order a vile ornament.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Let's keep it realistic, what kind of job would you like?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25My dream job would be to be a top make-up stylist,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28going wild with all the celebrities.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I just do make-unders, not miracles.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35POD would like to know why you're not getting a job.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I don't think people give me a chance
0:19:37 > 0:19:41because when I walk into a room, I make an entrance.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Shall we see what the public actually think of your look?
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Well, not that I'll take much notice but let's see what they have to say.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Run phase one, public analysis.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58POD asked members of the public if they would snog,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00marry or avoid this person.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03What do you think they said?
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Well, on looks only, I would definitely say a little snog.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13- I'd avoid.- Yeah, yeah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:19- I'd avoid because that's not the look I'd normally go for.- Eugh!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I'd definitely avoid, it's not my thing at all.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27In fact, 96% of the public said they would avoid you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I know that's lies cos I get loads of attention.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36POD's verdict is we need to restore your natural beauty
0:20:36 > 0:20:41and help you get that job, with a dashing Prince Charming make-under.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Are you ready for the next stage? - Readier than I'll ever be.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Run phase two, deep cleanse.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Remove all your excess fakery.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58You've got me cracked up!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Looks like a beard. - A very pretty beard.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- The Scouses are off. - Let's have your lippy.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Hold it up so I can see it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Run the make-under.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Lovely to meet you, Dean. - It's nice to meet you, too.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Dean, do you think your new look will help you find a job?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49If I were to go for an interview dressed like this,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I would have 100% more of a chance.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56Are you ready to hear what the public think you look like in this look?
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Oh, yeah, let's hope it's something positive.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05This time we asked the public, showing them the picture
0:22:05 > 0:22:08of you in this look, would they want to snog, marry or avoid you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10What do you think they said?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I'm really nervous so you'll have to tell me.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I'd definitely marry him
0:22:15 > 0:22:19because he looks like he knows how to have a good time.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Hmm!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I would snog that person, he looks like a cheeky chappy,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26nice hair, nice shirt.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30I found this strange, to hear things like this.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Before, 96% of the people we spoke to wanted to avoid you,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38and now the majority of the people wanted to snog or marry you.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42It's nice to hear lovely things for a change.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- POD is very proud of you. Goodbye, Dean.- Bye.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57It was strange, I feel a totally different person.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Going to see what my little sister says and we'll see how it goes.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06I'm just nervous cos, like... I really don't know what to expect.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Hi!- Oh, my God!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I was shocked when Dean walked in.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22It's how he used to be, it's amazing.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Nobody's seen me like this for ages. The biggest thing is the hair.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I got a lot of negative feedback, but after the makeover
0:23:29 > 0:23:33I got a lot of positive, and it did make me feel happy.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38I just love everything. The blazer and pumps he has on.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Exactly how he used to be. Got my brother back. It's amazing.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- Here's to the new look. - You keeping it?- Might keep it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Earlier, Shelley was transformed by POD. Let's go and see if she kept the look.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Hello!- Hello! How you doing? - I'm all right, thanks. How are you?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58You look a bit different.
0:23:58 > 0:24:05Feel a bit different, as well. Tan's gone, nails gone, eyelashes gone.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Still got the hair extensions. - Still a bit, isn't there? - Yeah, not as many though.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- I love the fringe.- I like it. Took a bit of getting used to, but I do like it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- So, what have your friends and family said about it?- They loved it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Started crying when they seen me, and everything. Just couldn't believe how nice I looked.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Are you missing the attention when you go out?- Not one bit.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25No, I prefer it. I don't feel like everyone's constantly staring at me,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- and I'm like "What you looking at me for?"- Yeah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Everyone says I look a lot better. Everyone says they don't recognise me half the time.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34They're like, "What? Hello is that you?"
0:24:34 > 0:24:37And when I last met you, you wanted to get into social work,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40but you didn't think you were going to be taken seriously.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Do you think this look will help you?- Yeah, I do, yeah.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I feel like people will start taking me seriously.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47They're not thinking, "God, how much fake tan have YOU got on?"
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- You sound like a convert! - What's one of them?- (LAUGHS)
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Why aren't you wearing clothes on your top half?- I am!
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- How are two bras a top?- It's fashion!
0:25:03 > 0:25:06No, it's underwear.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- What's with the purple arms? - How often do you look at people's arms,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and they're just the same old boring arms? Why not have purple on the go? Purple's the best colour.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Wash it off! What are those in your mouth?
0:25:16 > 0:25:21- Fangs.- POD computes that you're sucking the life out of style.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- (LAUGHS)- Goodbye.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27How long does it take to make your face look this awful?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Awful?! It's not even awful!
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Regardless. How long does it take? - About five hours.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Five hours?- Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Earlier we met Olivia who then became Dean.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47But who will we meet now? Ta-da-da-da!
0:25:47 > 0:25:52To be honest, there was no doubt in my mind it was ever going to be anyone but Olivia.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Don't get me wrong, I loved all the positive comments from when I was Dean,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59but I'm more comfortable in my skin being Olivia.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Maybe later on in life I may change my mind, but at the moment
0:26:02 > 0:26:05I'm really comfortable and I am maybe stuck in my ways.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08How long did Dean stay around for, then?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12About 12 hours. The next day I was straight in the salon.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- My luscious lengths were back. - (LAUGHS)
0:26:15 > 0:26:17And I was happy again.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Before we met, you were thinking if you wanted to get a job
0:26:20 > 0:26:24and you wanted to move away from home you would have to become Dean for a little bit.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27What do you think about that now?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Well, at the weekend I did meet up with some old school friends I hadn't seen in a while,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34and they are, like, proper city slicker's now.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And what they said to me is that I shouldn't change for nobody.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41So that's a new plan. Sod getting a job in Whitehaven, you're just going to try and get out.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44It's a waste of time trying at the moment.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I've tried and tried and tried for so long, and nothing gets me there.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49So do you have a message for POD, then, Olivia?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Yeah, I'd just like to say thank you, POD,
0:26:52 > 0:26:58the experience overall was brilliant, but I'm just going to stick to who I am. Thank you.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59I feel like we've gone a little bit deep.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Shall we go and get a cocktail and talk about boys?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04It'd be rude not to.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Hello.- Hello, Ellie. Come in. - Thank you, POD.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- There, now, that's better. - I'm back to normal hair.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Ellie, this is the danger of fakery. It's addictive.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25It is! I kind of see where the girls come from, now.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28So what were the people of Newcastle like?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30They were very friendly, they were very chatty.
0:27:30 > 0:27:36Lots of fake tan, big hair. Quite hot blokes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Right, let's get back out there and find more fakers.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42No way! I've got a hot date. You can POD off!
