Gok Wan to write "painful" autobiography

Gok Wan has announced that he is planning to write an autobiography.

The How To Look Good Naked presenter has signed a deal with Ebury Press for the book, What's On TV says.

Wan, who has admitted that he was bullied as a teenager, said: "There's a lot to tell, some of it still painful, but I think it will be all worth it and prove a revealing, entertaining and above all inspirational read."

Meanwhile, Charlotte Cole, senior commissioning editor at Ebury, claimed that the book will be a Christmas hit.

"Gok is loved by women for making us feel fantastic about ourselves, and where he got that gift from is an inspirational story in itself," she explained.

Wan is expected to release his autobiography in September.
