Great British Body - Trinny strips off

Tuesday, 3 June 2008

Trinny and Susannah, famed for encouraging the UK to dress better, are on a mission to do just the opposite and get hundreds of people naked.

Across the country they are recruiting the public to take part in a massive, living, naked sculpture.

In programme two Trinny and Susannah narrow their search for the Great British Body, from hundreds of people to form the sculpture to just one man and one woman who will be chosen to be immortalised as the very best of British bodies.

Before they continue their search, the girls visit the site that will host their naked sculpture, an idyllic British hillside in Sussex. They start to plan what it shall look like, and discuss whether people really will get naked out doors and they work out they need at least 300 people to form their sculpture.

Susannah says: "I just want it to be spectacular, I want it to be massive and spectacular."

The girls certainly aren't lacking in imagination, but are they being practical? It's April, in a windy, cold field, and even fully dressed with a coat on Susannah is feeling the chill.

"If it's like this there's no effing way I'm going to take my clothes off," she says. "I'm not shy of the cold, and I'm not shy to take my clothes off, but it IS cold."

Trinny, on the other hand, is much more positive. "It's like having a cold bath and I think it's the most energising brain awakening experience you can have."

So convinced is she that the climate is perfectly acceptable for getting naked, Trinny strips down to her knickers and socks to prove to Susannah it'll be ok, and even lays on the grass.

"Face down here, the wind is going over my head the sun is on my back I could literally be sunbathing in the south of France." says Trinny. "I could get a tan."
