Trinny Woodall Considers "What Not To Wear" Reboot

Trinny Woodall, 62, recently shared a video of herself in her underwear while larking around with her makeup artist in Melbourne, Australia. Woodall is in the country to promote her Trinny London beauty range.

During a moment of preparation before an event, Woodall appeared in a video wearing nude undergarments. She playfully joked with her makeup artist that it was "the closest they got to having sex" as she used a Theragun massage device on his back in return for him doing her makeup. She later dressed in a bright yellow dress with dramatic ruffled sleeves for the event.

"What Not To Wear" Reboot Discussions

Woodall's trip to Australia coincides with revelations that she and former co-host Susannah Constantine are in discussions about a potential reboot of their former fashion makeover show, "What Not To Wear." The original program, launched by the BBC in 2001, ran for five series until 2005. It featured contestants receiving a £2,000 budget to overhaul their wardrobes with the guidance of the "ruthless hosts."

In a recent interview on Saga's Experience is Everything podcast with Lorraine Kelly, Woodall confirmed that conversations about reviving the show are ongoing. She explained that both she and Constantine initially felt they were too busy with their current endeavors—Constantine with writing and Woodall as CEO of Trinny London, which employs 300 people. However, after meeting with producers who had a younger team familiar with the original show, Woodall became more open to the idea.

"We did things that were very extreme," Woodall recalled, referencing the show's candid approach. "We would get a husband saying, 'Yes, do put a camera in my wife's dressing room so we can see how she dresses.' We were very honest and that sort of honesty has gone because people are too scared."

Woodall stated that she has adopted a decision to be more open to opportunities, believing that "things lead to things and I think things are put in front of us for reasons."

The Original Show's Impact

The hosts were known for their direct and often blunt critiques, famously having participants strip to their underwear in front of a 360-degree mirror. They also frequently commented on each other's perceived physical shortcomings and those of their guests. The show garnered a significant audience, with up to seven million viewers at its peak.

Following its cancellation by the BBC, Woodall and Constantine moved to ITV with "Trinny & Susannah... Undress." Woodall later launched her successful beauty brand, Trinny London, in 2017, which has grown into a global enterprise valued at £180 million. Constantine has since focused on writing novels.
