0:00:02 > 0:00:04Shake it, shake it, shake it!
0:00:05 > 0:00:08I'm Ellie Taylor. Snog Marry Avoid is back on the road,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11fighting the fakery of Britain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14POD computes that you two have no natural beauty.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- These are very natural. - What's not natural about this?
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Oi! You! Orange-faced one!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Put down the fake tan, because POD has had enough.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24POD is fiercer than ever and back with a vengeance,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27fighting fakery fanatics up and down the country.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Oh, shut up, you big hard drive.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Families across Britain have had enough of the fakery that's stolen
0:00:33 > 0:00:37their sons and their daughters, their brothers and their sisters.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39ALL: Down with fakery!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Down with fakery!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43We haven't brought her up to look like this.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46From Bromley to Liverpool, Nottingham to Essex,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48she'll be stripping the fakery sinners
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and creating more beautiful saints.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52I look like a badger now.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Scary hair alert! Scary hair alert!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58POD also wants me to see what all the fuss is about
0:00:58 > 0:01:00with the latest trends strutting off the catwalk
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and stumbling onto our streets.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Whoo! I make it look pretty hot, though, right, yeah?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Stop doing that. It's not helping.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We are chiselling away at fakery.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12This is Snog Marry Avoid?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28All right, our kid, this week, we're in the home of many inventions,
0:01:28 > 0:01:33including the Liver Building, the first European skyscraper,
0:01:33 > 0:01:34the football goal.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37WHISTLE BLOWS AND CROWD CHEERS
0:01:37 > 0:01:39The first intercity passenger railway.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42And Scousers.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47POD's hard drive has gone into overdrive scanning the North West
0:01:47 > 0:01:52and fishing out all the baked, caked and fake-obsessed in Liverpool.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Hiya, POD.- Hello, Ellie.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Today, we are in a very soggy Liverpool.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Ah, yes. One of the great battlegrounds on my war on fakery.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I think you're right. The sights I've seen this morning!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I've seen massive hair,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I saw someone with massive pencilled-in eyebrows,
0:02:10 > 0:02:11and that was a bloke.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So it's time for you to tackle them one WAG at a time.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16All right, maybe I could give a rousing speech, like,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19we will fight them in the nail salons,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23we will fight them at the counter to buy blusher.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26We will...do things like that.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Ellie, just get on with it. - OK. Sorry.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Coming up in tonight's show, POD meets a girl whose face
0:02:33 > 0:02:36would make the metal detectors at Heathrow explode.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I think my look is very intimidating.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I couldn't care less what anyone says about me.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42I hit the streets of Liverpool
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and fish out what Scousers think is hot when the rest of us say not.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49They're like daggers!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I finally get to take a nap from all that running around I do
0:02:52 > 0:02:56as I test out a look popular with Liverpool lads and lasses.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- The onesie. - I've got one just like it.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Onesie twins!- I know!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And we hunt down a northern cheeky chappy
0:03:03 > 0:03:05who wants to be more rude boy than nice boy.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I'm Boyanna, the male Rihanna.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Liverpudlians are in a world of their own
0:03:13 > 0:03:15when it comes to street fashion,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18but are they still on the same planet as the rest of us?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Liverpool style is glamorous and sexy.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25It's all about the fake. Fake tan, fake eyebrows.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Fake hair.- Fake boobs, fake bum.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- What have you got that's fake? - Eyebrows, eyelashes, nails.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34They're like daggers!
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Some people go dead orange and some people have Scouse brows.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40I love the Scouse brow.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43They look like a walking Wotsit with slugs on their head.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Mine aren't that bad, are they?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- We love Liverpool! - We love Scouse girls!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We love Liverpool!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Now for Mel, whose Mohawk is causing misery
0:03:54 > 0:03:56for her long-suffering mum.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Hiya. My name's Mel. I'm 20 and I'm the only punk in the village.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06The thing I love most about my style is the studs and the tattoos
0:04:06 > 0:04:08and the leather. If it's not ripped, rip it.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11And dye your hair the brightest colours ever.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Some people look at her as if she's scum.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I think my look is very intimidating.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Everyone just, like, moves away.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21It just makes me feel ashamed sometimes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I couldn't care less what anyone says about me.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28She's gone way too far on her piercings.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Too many piercings in her face.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34That jackets stinks.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It's got every meal she ever eats all down the front of it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It's attached to her. It's like she was born with it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'm proud of my leather jacket.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47When I was younger, I was definitely shy.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I was that little geek that sat in the back of the classroom
0:04:50 > 0:04:52always getting bullied.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53It were just miserable.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I must've just been an easy target.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01The picking on Melissa was the foundation of her extremism now.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03It's like a defence mechanism
0:05:03 > 0:05:06because she was bullied quite a lot when she were younger.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's just her way of saying to people,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10"Don't look at me, I'm going to raar!"
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I keep telling her she's beautiful and she's a lovely person,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15but she's just so insecure.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Melissa's look at the moment is stopping her
0:05:17 > 0:05:19from getting a job or getting anywhere in life.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22She attracts the wrong kind of boys.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's like I'm a loner again.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I'm actually quite a bit scared
0:05:27 > 0:05:29about POD getting rid of all my fakery.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I've never known anything about being not fake.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Please, POD, bring my pretty little girl back
0:05:36 > 0:05:39because she's scaring away all the nice boys.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42POD, if you think you can change me, you can get the punk out of here.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Mel's asked me to meet her here.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50And unless there's a swarm of bees nearby...
0:05:50 > 0:05:51BUZZING
0:05:51 > 0:05:52No-o-o-o-o-o-o! Stop!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Tell me about your tattoos. How many have you got?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59I'm not really sure.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It's like all my legs just seem to be getting more and more full.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Just turning into one giant tattoo? - Yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Ooo! That's...Ow!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Do you always dress like this, or do you ever just put on normal clothes?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It's more embarrassing than when I go out like this.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I just feel insecure. I feel like everyone's staring at me.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- You feel like that when you're in normal clothes?- Yeah.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Really?- Yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28So, Mel, I know you're a punk, but I want to try and work out
0:06:28 > 0:06:30if you really are an anarchist at heart.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, sale for 50% off sign, lovely pair of shoes maybe,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38or a down-with-the-political-classes placard?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Down with the political classes!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Create Twitter mayhem with a campaign against politicians,
0:06:43 > 0:06:47or create a Twitter campaign with your love for Justin Bieber?
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Against politicians, definitely.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Not the Biebs?- His voice is broken. He's not what he used to be.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Oh, did you like him before? You did!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58# Baby, baby, baby, oh. #
0:06:58 > 0:07:00His song were right catchy.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Mel, from my quiz, I've gathered that there's actually
0:07:04 > 0:07:08quite a bit of a conformist inside of you with the Bieber reveal.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11This is amazing. I think it's time for you to go and meet POD.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Are you ready?- Yes, I am.- Let's go.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Brace yourself. Onwards.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21POD, let me in.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Argh! Scary hair alert! Scary hair alert!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- It's not that bad.- It really is!
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device. Who are you?
0:07:40 > 0:07:41- I'm Mel.- Mel from hell?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43No, Mel from heaven.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Why do you have hair like a cockerel?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47It's not like a cockerel.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Well, my mum keeps saying I look like a chicken, but I don't see it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Please can you talk POD through your look.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57My look's all about brightly-coloured spiky hair,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59piercings, black makeup,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02studs and leather and ripped clothes.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Just punk.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08How much do you think POD would get taking you down the scrap yard?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Let's talk about your piercings.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I've got 30. Most of them are in my ears.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I had my cheeks done, but it leaks when I drink water.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- So, you've got leaky cheeks?- I have.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23POD computes you have become a human pincushion.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26What do you think your look says about you to the general public?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30That everyone thinks I'm cool and trendy?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33What's cool and trendy about a look from the 1970s?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Shall we find out what the public think?- Yes, POD.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Run phase one - Public Analysis.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I asked the general public, would you snog, marry or avoid this girl?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46What do you think they said?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I think they said avoid.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I'd avoid this girl because her face is covered in metal
0:08:52 > 0:08:54and she looks like the third member of Jedward.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- I don't even like Jedward.- Who does?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59I would avoid her because
0:08:59 > 0:09:01there's just too much metal going on in her face.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It's all about the metal.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I would avoid her because I think the dog collar
0:09:06 > 0:09:08is a little bit too heavy-duty.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Do you like to be led?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Well, you know, if it's by the right man, yeah.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Hm. Interesting.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18100% of the public said that they would avoid you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21You're obviously asking the wrong people.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24POD computes you are a poultry-headed punk in a bunk
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and you need my punk-rocker-shocker
0:09:26 > 0:09:28to gorgeous-inner-frocker make-under.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31It is now time for the deep cleanse.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Oh, no!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36First of all, get rid of the jacket.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Oh! My jacket!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Off it comes, Mel.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Remove the cutlery.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I might be here a while.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47I feel naked.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49De-punk the face.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Oh! Seriously?
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Oh, Mel!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Run the make-under in three, two, one.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Oh, my God!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I've never seen myself like this before.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11It's like someone else is in the mirror.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12I feel like a lady.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15POD computes you do look shockingly beautiful.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I really like the hair. I love the dress!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- I feel sexy.- You look sexy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Thank you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Would you like to hear what the public think of you
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- with this new look?- Yes.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I'd snog her, like, because she's naturally good-looking
0:10:30 > 0:10:31and I'd find her attractive, yeah.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34You are very attractive, aren't you, Mel?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I am now.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- I'd snog her because she looks friendly and approachable.- Aw!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42As opposed to scary, like you were before.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I was never scary, I was just misunderstood.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- I'd definitely marry her.- Oh, wow!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50She looks like the type of girl I'd like to take home to my mum.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52That's never been said before.
0:10:52 > 0:10:5570% of the public now said they want to snog you
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- and 30% said they'd marry you.- Oh!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I feel like I'm on top of the world.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Are you ready to show the world your fabulous new look?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Yeah, I can't wait.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Initiating Podwalk.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12The Podwalk's been beamed down in one of Liverpool's hottest bars.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Will Mel's long-suffering friends and family love her new look?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I'm really excited about walking down the catwalk.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21My mum's definitely going to cry.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- She looks amazing! - Isn't it incredible!
0:11:45 > 0:11:46She's a young lady.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I told you you were beautiful.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I've been telling you for years.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Do you really hope she keeps it?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Yeah. I want her to stay like this.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55See, you can get a proper boyfriend now.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Do you feel like you've got your daughter back?- I do, yeah.- Yes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00She's beautiful!
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I've got loads of tears and I love it. It's amazing!
0:12:05 > 0:12:10POD computes that Mel has gone from scary metal-faced punk rocker
0:12:10 > 0:12:12to natural-beauty goddess.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I was so shocked when I saw Mel.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I never expected her to look so pretty.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19It's a total transformation.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Her confidence has boosted.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It's going to change her life completely.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I'm feeling quite elated.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I can't believe, like, everyone says how nice I look.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I think it's changed how I feel about myself.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I don't feel like everyone is staring at me for the wrong reasons.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It's a nice feeling, to be honest.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48There's a new army marching through the streets of Liverpool,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51but their uniforms are usually found in baby shops.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57You do see a lot of girls walking around with onesies on.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59What are you wearing?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01We're wearing onesies!
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Oh, I love onesies, got three, with ears and tails and everything.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07How on earth do you go to the toilet in a onesie?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'd wear my onesie indoors, outdoors, anywhere.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Onesies? Think they look stupid.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14We love our onesies.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Everyone in Liverpool loves a onesie!
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Hi, POD.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Ellie, POD is worried that Liverpool
0:13:22 > 0:13:25has been overrun by adults with babygrows.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Oh, I know what you mean - you mean a onesie.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Sounds like a wrongsie if you ask me.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I've never had a go, actually. I love pyjamas.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36OK, let me check my database. Ahh, yes, here you go.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Don't make me look stupid, though, right?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Too late.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Oh, my God, what is that?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Now get out there and find out what all the fuss is about.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49What is up with the saggy gusset?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I'm going to have to hold that.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Do you think I'm sexy?- I think you're rocking it. It's very Milan.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00'POD didn't want anybody to feel left out of the onesie love,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02'so she got me a couple of extras.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04'One for the girls...'
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- I love it. I've got one just like it, actually.- Onesie twins!- I know.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09'..and one for the boys.'
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Boys, what are the benefits of wearing a onesie?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You can go anywhere and be an animal. Neigh!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Do you want to take me to bed, or do you want to put me to bed?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Put them to bed, because I do not like them at all.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I make it look pretty hot, though, right?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Stop doing that because it's not helping.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Do you ever, when you see a man in a onesie,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30immediately look at the crotch area to see if there's any whackage?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Know what I'm dealing with here? - Yes.- See what's going on.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Is this the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen in your life?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Everything about it is ridiculous, I'll be honest with you.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41How about this one, though?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43That's probably big enough for you, actually.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44I'll do that for you, my friend.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Don't worry.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- What about if I started doing this to you?- Don't, I don't know.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- ALL:- Onesies!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Hello, Ellie. - Can I take this off now?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Ah, I see you're still wearing that thing.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Yes, I am, I've had enough
0:15:03 > 0:15:06and there's a pack of hounds outside ready to rip me apart.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09What did you learn about the onesie, Ellie?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I've learnt that a lot of people have them,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14not a lot of people would wear them outside, though,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18so, I look like an idiot, thanks very much for that.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- We'll have that off you then, shall we?- Yes, please.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24That's a bit better, not quite as embarrassing,
0:15:24 > 0:15:25but I do kind of miss the tail to I'm honest.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Ellie, just get back out there. - All right, then.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Rihanna might think she's the only girl in the world,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38but Luke knows that he's the only Boyanna from Harrogate.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41I'm Luke, I'm 20, I'm Boyanna,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44the male Rihanna, and I'm from Harrogate.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49My style is Wannabe G, because I like chunky chains,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53I like sports brands and mixing it up with feminine stuff.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55G is like gangster.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Looking cool, you can have G in your clothing, G in yourself.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Like, it just rolls.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I do love a little bit of bling, I love my gold, chav chains, rings.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Sparkles up everything and makes you look a bit, like - sick.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11He's really over the top about everything.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Personality, outfits, hair, make-up, he's completely out of the box.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Stands out and seems to get lots of looks
0:16:18 > 0:16:22and he's got mixed colours and mixed patterns going on, very tropical.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26And weird.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29My style icon is Rihanna.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I'm just obsessed with her, like, everything about her.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Dance moves, clothes, everything.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'm a boyanna, I just want to be her.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I live in a little village in between Leeds and Harrogate,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47where no-one else really lives except grandmas.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'd probably say I'm a little bit of a celebrity in Harrogate -
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I'm like "boom" compared to everyone else.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I volunteer in Oxfam.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I give some advice to the grannies for a little bit of bling.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04A bit of pink to make the boys wink, polar-bear chic. That looks sick.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I bring a bit of glamour and a bit of bling and I just work it.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Luke has always been very different to a lot of others,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14even at school, he always wanted to wear things he wanted to wear.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Probably when I came out gay at 16-ish
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I started experimenting with tan, make-up, clothes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24And then it just kept getting worse and worse and worse,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28and by last year, I looked like a man in drag, so I calmed down a bit.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I don't push it to the boundary of being a girl.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36My getting-ready routine is putting my foundation on first,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38then I'll probably put a bit more foundation,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40so it covers my spots a bit more
0:17:40 > 0:17:41and then I'll put my bronzer on
0:17:41 > 0:17:43and put some more bronzer on.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47The darker, the better, because I'm ugly as hell.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I love going out.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53The weekend is my life. It's just a good time to let your hair down.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I do dance like Rihanna, probably better.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Pod, please help me out here.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I want my best friend to wear less make-up than I am.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02I mean, I'm the girl in this.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Pod, I would love you to get rid of Luke's orange look
0:18:05 > 0:18:07and also his flamboyant dress sense.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Pod, I love the way I look.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Why you getting up in my grill?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18OMG, I've just heard that a major celebrity,
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Luke from Yorkshire, is here!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- There he is. - SHE SQUEALS
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Maybe he'll sign my boobs.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Oh, I need a brown paper bag.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Oh, jeez, Louise.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36It's like a '90s disco. Dude, put that down. Enough.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40So, Luke, is it true that you're a bit of a celebrity in your hometown?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I'd say I'm very well known in my hometown.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44There's no gay in Harrogate, except me.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46You're the only gay in the village?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- I'm the only one that's jazz-handing round the street.- Hi!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- You've got quite a fierce dress sense.- Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:19:01- It's like Mr T meets the jungle, meets the '80s.- Yeah.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02I define my style as Rihanna-esque.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07So, in regards to the love life, how is this look working out for you?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'm just a failure in love life.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Do you think it's because of the way you dress?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Maybe, or because I'm a bit of a psychopath.- You're a bit intense?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Yes, I'm intense.- Coupled with quite an intense look,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- could make you quite a thing to take on.- Probably, yeah.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Do you think if you change your look, you'll get positive reaction?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Yeah, hopefully. All boys, any boys.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I'd just like to see me stripped down
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and see what people's reactions are to me.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Luke, I think it's time that we did a little quiz to find out
0:19:35 > 0:19:37how much you really are like Rihanna.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38If you go out on a rainy day,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42do you bring a pack-a-mac or an umbrella, ella, ella?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Umbrella.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Do you like to take a curtsy or take a bow?- Take a bow.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- I love that song.- Totes emosh. - Totes emosh?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52They did it on Glee.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Tears. Are you looking for a nice, polite boy or...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- SHE SINGS "RUDE BOY" - a rude boy.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Everyone wants a rude boy. - OK, enough.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04On that note, I think it's time that we get you into POD, my friend.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Are you ready?- I'm ready. - Right, let's go.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12It's going to be totally G.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Hello, POD.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I am POD, the Personal Overhaul Device, who are you?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'm Luke.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Luke, POD computes you are completely blinging!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Yep, I suppose I am.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32But your blinging is minging.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34That's tight.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36What on earth do you mean about being tight?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Don't be tight, don't be mean.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Luke, what language are you speaking?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Leeds slang-ish.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well, POD would like you to teach me some Leeds slang-ish.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51G Cool, that's sick, decent, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Thank you, Luke, good advice.- Cheers.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56POD would like you to talk through your look.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00It's like Rihanna, Boyanna - meets!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Don't hate, appreciate.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06You are in fact one of the orangest people I've seen in a while.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Oh, shut up, you big hard drive.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I just like to put a few layers of fake tan on,
0:21:10 > 0:21:11maybe three or four.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Normally, I do a full sha-bang.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- A sha-bang tan? - Sha-bang tan.- Amazing.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Sha-mazing.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's now time to run your public analysis.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Aah!
0:21:22 > 0:21:26I asked the public, would you like to snog, marry or avoid this boy?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28What do you think they said?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Avoid, probs.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33I'd avoid him because
0:21:33 > 0:21:36he looks like something out of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Luke, take your fingers out your ears!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40It's tight and I don't want to hear people abusing me.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I'd avoid him because the patchy fake tan looks rough.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Rough. Yeah, that's cool - rough.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I'm not sure that's the meaning they meant, Luke.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I'd avoid him because his choice of clothes is too effeminate for me.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I don't like these public. Who are you asking?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57100% of the public I asked said, indeed, they would avoid you.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- 100%?- I'm afraid that's everyone, Luke.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Ey, they're proper cranks, them.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06POD computes you look like a bad '80s boy band throwback,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08who's more ping than bling.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13And you need my brash-boyanna to boy-next-door make-under.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16To you too. Apply the deep cleanse.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21I think this is going to take a while.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25And finally, that ridiculous crown of bling.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I look like Dopey off Snow White.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Remove all your make-up.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31You're going to see all my spots.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Let's have a look at that wipe?
0:22:34 > 0:22:39Run the make-under in three, two, one...
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I like the outfit, outfit's cool.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I like it cos it's quite Essex-y and dapper.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55The bling has gone.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Now the natural look is shining like a diamond in the...
0:22:58 > 0:22:59- Sky.- ..sky
0:22:59 > 0:23:02# Shine bright like a diamond... #
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Natural beauty has been achieved - whoop, whoop!
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Whoop, whoop.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- You look sick.- Cheers, mate.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Shall we find out what the public think of you looking like this?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I would snog him. He looks hot and trendy.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Yeah, John, cool, yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I'd snog him. He looks really smart and attractive.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Ah, thanks.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I'd probably marry him, because he looks like marriage material
0:23:26 > 0:23:28and he looks really sophisticated.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yeah, I definitely need that person's number.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33In fact, 70% of the public want to snog you
0:23:33 > 0:23:35and the rest want to marry you.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Whoo!
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Are you ready to show yourself to the world,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40like a stunning natural beauty?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41I'm ready.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Initiating Podwalk.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Luke's mum and friends are waiting anxiously
0:23:50 > 0:23:51to see if their rude boyanna
0:23:51 > 0:23:54is a more sophisticated, dapper young man.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Will they like the change?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I'm excited to see my family and friends
0:23:58 > 0:24:00because I want them to see the new me, and I'm ready to go.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Mum, what are you thinking?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Looks gorgeous.- Were you surprised?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Surprised by his hair and what you've put him in.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Thought he'd look handsome. No orange, perfect.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30What do you think, Lauren?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Suits it, really, really nice. I like it a lot.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Tick, VG, very good.- Yep, very good.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Group hug.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44POD computes that Luke has gone from a boyanna wannabe,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46to sophisticated chappy.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49When I saw him walk down the catwalk, I felt really proud of him.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51He looks really handsome.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I could have just kissed him, and I did.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I was really impressed with his look.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59I thought he looked dapper, proper gentleman. Really improved.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It was good, crazy, everyone was clapping.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05I'm going to keep the natural look because it's nice. I like it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I'm feeling happy.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Liverpool gals and guys are all about making a good first impression
0:25:16 > 0:25:19but everything needs to be big, big and bigger!
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Liverpool invented big hair. Bigger, the better, as you can see.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Liverpool girls like big everything.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Oh, yeah?- A bit of quiff.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Instead of having flat, boring hair like a librarian.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Are you going to supersize her hair?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It's all about getting your hair up,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40giving it a good backcomb, loads of hairspray.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44That is going to help the ozone layer.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Extensions.- They don't come cheap, you know, POD.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Why do they look so cheap, then?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53We've got something called the Scouse Bun, where you wear
0:25:53 > 0:25:56a hair doughnut and it makes your hair bigger.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I'd definitely wear it if I was a girl.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Do you like it, though? - No. Eject, eject!
0:26:01 > 0:26:02You're only jealous.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Mel was the only punk in the village and Luke worshipped Rihanna so much,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13he crowned her the Queen of his wardrobe.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16They left POD looking very ladylike and dapper.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19But have they kept their looks?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Yeah, I think so, apart from your face full of piercings.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I know, I couldn't live without them.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I'd like to be girly and then also so punk.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Because you said that you really liked to scare people
0:26:30 > 0:26:32when you were in your whole punk regalia.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Usually people would just stare at you
0:26:34 > 0:26:36and everyone keeps wolf-whistling me now.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Do they? Really?- Yeah.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40And, Luke, what about you?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Yeah, I liked my look more with fashion instead of against fashion.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- You're still a bit of a crazy cat though.- Cheers.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- You've got your fringing.- Work it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Do you think your idol, Rihanna, would approve of this?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Yeah, 100%. She'd love it.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57What do you guys think you learnt from coming to see POD, then?
