Trinny Woodall (born Sarah-Jane Woodall; 8 February 1964 in Marylebone, London) is an English fashion advisor and designer, television presenter and author. She was raised in a wealthy family and was privately educated. After ten years working in marketing – and battling alcoholism – Woodall met Susannah Constantine in 1994, whom she joined to write a weekly fashion column for The Daily Telegraph. This led to the launch of their own internet fashion-advice business and the release of their first fashion-advice book, both of which ventures ended in failure.

They obviously looked alright on TV and managed not to say 't**s' very often so were signed up for the show 'What Not To Wear' on BBC Two. They became household names for their rather posh, frank views on what women were wearing and, from what we remember, their bra sizes.

What normally happens with things like this is people get a little too big for their boots. Trinny (and Susannah) being no exception. They switched to ITV in a big-money deal, just at the point when most of the public seemed to find them more annoying than ever before. Suffice to say, their shows there didn't do as well as the original, being shunted around the schedules more than often than you could say bra.
