A BRAVE woman had her waning confidence boosted after glamour pictures of her posing in her birthday suit were projected onto the side of the Wycombe Swan.

Liz Marlow, 29, a midwife from High Wycombe, appeared on Channel Four's How to Look Good Naked and put herself in the hands of style guru Gok Wan.

In a bid to ditch her favoured men's fleeces and stop hiding herself beneath a messy mop of blonde hair, the wacky stylist introduced sexy lingerie and catwalk glamour.

Claudia Christie, publicist for How to Look Good Naked, said: "She was a fantastic participant, I hope that the effects are long-lasting. It was great having her on the show."

The programme, which projected her image on the outside of the Swan Theatre and Town Hall in St Mary Street, was screened on Tuesday.

The production company contacted the theatre to get permission for the picture, after it had previously seen posters displayed on the building before.

For Liz, being naked was avoided everywhere - in the bedroom, communal changing rooms, swimming pool or beach.

She said she felt frumpy and fat, despite her husband Adrian, saying she was always a "fantastically beautiful, stunning gorgeous lady."

But in the show she was forced to face up to the mirror test, the scissors and wardrobe blues - cutting her hair and clearing out her wardrobe.

She was rewarded with a makeover which included a haircut, shopping spree with Gok and a saucy photo shoot.

She managed to tackle the catwalk at Manchester's Trafford Centre wearing a sultry corset to show she knew how to look good naked.

In just eight weeks, Gok left Liz equipped with four outfits and two items of lingerie and had transformed her into a blonde-bombshell.

One viewer told the cameras: "Absolutely amazing transformation, stunning woman. She seriously looked like a model."
