Great British Body - Naked body sculpture

Wednesday, 4 June 2008

It's a sunny Saturday morning up on Bo Peep Hill on the Sussex Downs. In a few hours time, Trinny and Susannah hope to create a 40 metre long living sculpture out of hundreds of volunteers – naked.

After touring the country surveying the British body and recruiting people to take part in this extraordinary event, the girls arrive on the site with sculpture designer Kit Line.

In the past five days, Kit has mapped out the design for the male and female sculptures based on the vital statistics of the two inspirational people chosen by Trinny and Susannah from the roadshows.

The lucky man and woman in question don't yet know they are to be immortalised by a naked body sculpture. Before anyone even gets their kit off Trinny and Susannah need to decide where they're going to position themselves.

Trinny: "I could be a nipple, people always comment on my nipples more than my breasts."

Susannah is a little more reserved: "I don't want to show anything except my bum crack!"

The girls decide they're to be the belly button in both sculptures, and as they practice their position fully clothed, coaches deliver the willing members of the public to base camp. They're hoping for at least 300 people to fill the sculpture Kit has designed. But will enough people keep their promises and turn up on the day?

"I think the only thing that can go wrong is the amount of people," says Susannah. "I think the biggest disaster is not having enough people."

As the coaches arrive some familiar faces from the roadshows are first to the site, but within two hours the numbers arriving seriously dwindle and the event is thrown in to crisis.
