Seven years ago singer-songwriter Jsky went on the E4 show Body Fixers asking for help swapping his flamboyant style for a more 'masculine' look. The Manchester LGBTQ+ star - real name Jason Warner - was urged to ditch his floral outfit and oversized hoop earrings for jeans and a smart jacket with a scarf, and super-sleek hair as part of a 'masculine make-under.'
"Obviously I still want to be Jsky but I want to be more masculine with it do you know what I mean?" he asked the makeover team. "People see me and they don't really know know how to react. There's times I go to the toilet ad I'm told I'm in the wrong room."
He was delighted with the end result, declaring joyously "I'm a rock god. This is me going down Deansgate now." After the show was screened Jsky, who hosts BBC Radio Manchester's The Dead Good Show on Wednesdays and presents on Gaydio, the largest LGBTQ+ station in the world, received online abuse.
